How To Impress A Girl With Your Mummy

Virgil goes to Brady with a problem. He wants to get a girl at school to notice him,

but the problem is, she likes Monsters, and Virgil is frightened to death of them.

The answer is obvious – Brady’s got to get Virgil a monster. The worried Virgil

reluctantly agrees, but on the condition that it’s of the easy, quiet, and

non-hostile variety. Something mature, worldly and easy to store, something

like... a Mummy! Preferably a polite female. So, after a few dead ends,

Brady finally secures a female mummy about to be discarded from the

museum. Unfortunately, the new owner of any mummy also inherits its

Curse – and life becomes one hazardous accident after another for

Virgil – with Brady doing his expert best to keep his friend safe.

Though Virgil does succeed in getting the girl to like him, the mummy

likes him even more, and stalks the poor kid in a monstrous "fatal

attraction." Now it’s up to Brady to answer the question: “How

To Get Rid Of A Jealous Mummy.”

2 BRADY AT HOME:

In this format, the stories center around Brady and his family. Whether it’s his easily

manipulated MOTHER, long-suffering and penny-wise FATHER, self-indulgent teenage

SISTER, or the telepathically malevolent YOUNG TWINS – they all provide frustrating

obstacles in Brady’s mission to help the monsters and their kid owners. And his family

doesn’t make it any easier on Brady as he consistently parades a succession of Monsters to

replace his missing one.

At least Brady can count on the faithful, though somewhat hapless, support of his best

friends - the oft-distraught VIRGIL ARP, and the ghoulishly pretty EMBER TOMBS.

A story example in the “Brady At Home” format:

For additional episodes, this unique Website format

is handy when other Monster Owners are in search

of guidance, hoping to answer questions like, “How

to deal with my Frankenstein Monster’s identity

crisis.” Or “What to do with a Fad Monster once

it’s no longer in vogue.”
