Bear Frank is always late to school, and the class doubts his altruism-claiming explanations (e.g., he said he intervened on behalf of "a family of bunnies being bullied by an ogre"). But when the classroom is invaded by a giant zombie lizard king, they see Frank in action. The ending seems abrupt, but the setup and bursting-with-excitement art are rewarding.
