The Todd & Rodyssey is a Bart Simpson story first printed in Bart Simpson #81.
Synopsis[edit]
- Rod and Todd Flanders get separated from Ned Flanders in downtown Springfield and find themselves on an odyssey back home, fraught with many dangers.
Plot[edit]
Ned is taking Rod and Todd shopping downtown, with them wanting more underwear. Ned notices Chief Wiggum about to give him a parking ticket since the meter has expired and rushes over to give Wiggum his credit card to pay for the fine, telling the Chief to just mail it back to him when he gets the chance. While Ned is talking to Wiggum, Rod and Todd see Krusty on a car talking about prices downtown becoming "the living dead." Fearing zombies, Rod and Todd flee and end up getting lost. Todd then finds a glass eye on the ground, and Captain McCallister comes up to them, wanting his eye back. However, Rod and Todd fear him, so they flee into the Foreign Goods store. To get away from the Sea Captain, they hide in a totem pole and try to leave the shop. However, the shopkeeper takes the totem pole from them, saying they need to pay for it. Rod and Todd then flee into the sewer, with Todd throwing the glass eye behind him so the Captain can get it back.
In the sewers, Rod and Todd find Mothman (Comic Book Guy) and Iron Frink (Professor Frink) doing a live-action role-play together. Rod and Todd flee from the nerds and encounter Princess Kashmir and another woman, who are both also taking part in the LARP. The women ask Rod and Todd the Riddle of the Sphinx, and they flee from them. The women are sad as they realize that joining the LARPing group was a mistake, as that was the fifth time people had fled from them when they asked the riddle. Many wrong turns later, Rod and Todd come across Hans Moleman in a boat from the Krustyland log ride. The kids lead Moleman to a ladder and, after climbing it, they emerge in Moe's Tavern. They leave the tavern and realize that they're still lost and don't know which way to go to get home. They then hear Homer shouting and, realizing that it's their neighbor, they follow the voice home to find Ned talking to Chief Wiggum outside.
Ned is happy to have his boys home safe and puts them to bed. Ned tells them that he's proud of them and that getting home safely proves that they won't need him in the future. Todd is worried because he doesn't want that to happen too soon, and Ned agrees that won't be the case.
