The Amazing World of Gumball

Mom!

Mm-mm.

Mm?

Mm-mm-mm-mm.

No, I didn't get a new haircut.

Hmm.

Hmm?

Hmm, hmm, hmm!

No, I'm not desperately trying to get noticed

for waxing my mustache.

Hmm!

No, I haven't had my dentures whitened,

and I don't wear dentures!

And by the way, I can plainly see

you're all miming, so just man up and ask.

What did we do wrong?!

It might be that a certain someone

forgot a certain something.

Uh, you're being a bit hypocritical here.

You can't be angry at someone for forgetting something

if you can't even remember their name or what they forgot.

It's fine. No need to make a fuss about it.

I got it.

There must be some secret fuss that I shouldn't know about!

No, there is no fuss.

No fuss. Got it.

No, seriously, there is no fuss.

You just said you didn't want a fuss.

Also, what is all this fuss about?

Sure, you didn't organize any fuss.

I'm not bluffing. There's no fussing.

Oh! I wonder who this could be!

Oh! A sing-a-gram!

Uh...

There you go.

What?

A party!

I knew it.

Yay!

Even acupuncture couldn't save him.

"It's a special day!"

Aww!

"Get 25% off at Dave's Skywriting Emporium"?

Wait, so you really haven't organized anything?

Oh.

Okay.

It's all right.

It's quite all right, really.

Don't make a fuss.

Okay, then.

Something about her body language

tells me she doesn't mean that.

Yep. Pack your bags, we're about to go on

the round-the-world guilt trip.

Unless we figure out what we should be making a fuss about.

Aaaah! Gumball! Put out the fire!

Ahh!

No, don't!

Aah!

Pwah! The song! Finish the song!

No. A certain someone should know why today is important.

Why did you say we shouldn't be making a fuss

if you get all angry about it when we don't?

"No need to make a fuss" is a thing people say,

but they obviously don't mean it.

It's all in the subtext, like when someone says,

"I'm only two minutes away."

"But we should stay in touch."

Or, "It's fine, honey."

Uh, okay.

So, are you gonna tell us what we should be celebrating?

Don't worry about it, sweetheart.

It's kind of difficult to organize a party

if we don't know what it's for.

What's appropriate? Cake?

What if it's the anniversary of some tragedy?

A black cake?

Let's keep it as vague as possible.

Like this, look. "Today's the day."

Do I draw a smiley face on the card or not?

Make it both!

Mm.

Keep it neutral.

Good choice! Beige, the Wednesday of colors.

Like a visual muzak. As noncommittal as can be.

Okay, I'll be Mom coming in.

Everyone, try and look as bland as possible.

I feel nothing. It's perfect.

She's coming!

Get ready to sing the everything song!

"With deepest feelings on this momentous occasion."

Smooth.

We baked you a cake.

Really?

Dad, she was looking you right in the eye.

It's you who's forgotten something!

What is it?

Okay. Let me think.

What's going on?

I think he's using his brain!

This is dangerous!
