==Summary==
[[Arthur Read|Arthur]]  HATES the scarier comic books stocked by the local comic-book store since it changed ownership.

==Plot==
[[Arthur Read|Arthur]] talks to the viewers about the times when he got his first comic book, when he bought his first comic book, and when [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] bought her first comic books at [[Meteor Comix]].

<center>'''Tales of Grotequely Grim Bunny'''</center>

Arthur, [[Fern Walters|Fern]], and [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] are the best customers at Meteor Comix, but they discover its owner, [[Freddy K.]] is retiring. The new owner, [[Gerald]], doesn't seem interested in running the store.

With Gerald in charge, the store is now very messy, and it seems to only have very dark comics in it. Fern is interested in "[[Grotesquely Grim Bunny: Guardian of Doom]]". Buster becomes interested in it, but Arthur fakes interest. They all pay for it.

Fern reads it, and she gets other classmates interested, but it makes Arthur even more scared of it. He has a nightmare that night where he is inside the comic and so are his friends, but he is the only one scared.

After his nightmare, Pal destroys the comic book. When asked about the plot, Arthur admits that he didn't read it, and then Buster admits that he also quit on the first page. Only Fern actually read it, and Binky is scared of the idea, too.

Fern suggests that they protest the store. Gerald does not notice, but Freddy K. does. He takes back control of the store. He cleans it up and adds in a "creepy stuff" section (much to the teenagers' chagrin) that Fern goes to, while Arthur and Buster go back to their old favorite comic books, finishing the episode.
