CAPTAIN FINGERMAN
MATTEO MAURO MORO
01 - THE CAKE
It s not clear how the tradition of having lighted candles
on cakes started, but it is said that the earliest documented
case was of a nobleman in Germany. He held a grand birthday
celebration at his home and had a large cake with candles
to indicate his age.
DiD YOU KNOW?

WOW! This is AMAZING! Just AWESOME!
Thank you, General! THANK YOU!!! Ooh!
It looks so yummy! Mamma mia!
Oh, not to worry, General! You think
too highly of me! How is that even
possible?
This cake cost us a finger and
fingernail! So try NOT TO DESTROY it!
Are we clear, Captain?
Hmm... Wait a minute! How can such
a perfect cake be without candles?
We need candles!!!
8
Candles, man! Where are the candles?!
What is a cake without candles?
Come on, Captain! It is not your
birthday! This is not a birthday cake!
We don t need candles!
I don t care! I want candles! A cake
is not a cake without candles!!!
How could you forget the candles?!
We can t celebrate without candles!
9
The eighth wonder of the
world, and nobody thought
to add candles? This is
not acceptable! We need
to look into the details!
WE NEED CANDLES!
Captain! Stop acting like a baby!
There will be NO candles!
Really? Well, if you won t supply the
candles, then I will!
10
I m a hero, and they can t organise
a simple celebration with a proper
cake...
Sheesh!!! All they needed to do was
get some candles...
...how hard can that be?
UNBELIEVABLE!
11
I can t believe there isn t a single
shop selling candles in the entire city!
Uh! What s that? I CAN T BELIEVE IT!
I FOUND ONE!
FINALLY!
12 hours later...
12
Hmm...
Ehm...
Well...
...of course! It s simple! There s no
doubt about it! The choice is clear!
TNT is bigger! And
BIGGER = BETTER!
13
TNT, here I COME!
What s TNT?
Hello! Anybody there?
I need 6,000 candles!
Hello! Candles? We don t sell
candles here! We sell TNT sticks!

trinitrotoluene
.

It s
DYNAMITE!
DYNAMITE?
Perfect! I want 6,000 candles!
Sticks!

22
It s not my fault! The guy told me
the candles were good! He said they
were DYNAMITE! How was I supposed
to know they would explode?!
In my office! NOW!!!
535 injured, 115 hospitalised, 937 damage
claims, our ENTIRE containment structure
destroyed, our cake completely vaporised,
AND I looked like a fool on TV!
But...
BUT nothing! Now go and pack your
belongings and take a LONG vacation
while I fix this MESS! Go as far away
as possible, and don t come back
without my authorisation!

23
Sheesh! So everything is
my fault?! It s not fair!
Really?
What have
you done
this time?
Me? Nothing! The containment structure
at BASA blew up after this guy sold me
candles that he said were dynamite! It
could have happened to anyone!!!
I wouldn t expect
any less of you.
General Fingerick told me to take
a long trip... but I don t know where
to go. Any suggestions?
BIRI, you re the only one who
understands me. Please come with me.
Yes, it s for
the best.
24
How I wish there were TWO of me!
Then at least one of us could be right!
Hey! Wait a minute...
Let s stay out of the city. Everyone is going nuts. It is unbelievable!
I just made a little mistake! It was a totally innocent and completely
harmless misunderstanding! And yet, they say it was all my fault...
I just had an idea! Let s take the
next exit...

TNT is the abbreviation for trinitrotoluene. It is a
powerful explosive used mainly in military bombs
and grenades. In cartoons, TNT is always depicted
with a red tubular casing and lit by a fuse. TNT
is also known as dynamite. How could Captain
Fingerman have mistaken dynamite for candles?!
A cake must always be baked in the oven.
TNT is a very tasty and super spicy sauce.
Candles are not made to explode.
No two fingerprints are alike.
If you don t understand something, it is best
to ask questions.
Help Captain Fingerman with his mission!

Hey Carl! How did you
discover antimatter?
You can tell me the truth.
Was it by mistake?
Hey, Buddy! Don t
be a smart guy!
Carl David Anderson was an American physicist
(1905-1991). In 1932, he discovered the positron,
or positive electron, also known as antimatter.
Antimatter is the opposite of matter. Come and
find out more about it in the following pages!

Are you sure, Captain? I have a very
bad feeling about this...
Trust me, BIRI! This time,
I am one hundred per cent
positive! Let s go in!
I m sure we will find the solution to
my problems inside. After all, you ve
always told me that answers can be
found in science and technology!
That s why you should trust
me right now! STOP!
Oooooh! Wow...
This place is
so hi-tech and
so cool!
