I was kinda surprised when I saw him helped Mum offload some of the stuffs she got from the market from her car trunk,that was off.
Alex is the indoor type that doesn't mind staying inside all day long except when it's time to go school. His love for writing comic stories and reading them has no bound.
"Mum! Did you bought the carton of Indomie I told you to bought"?He asked hastily almost losing grasps of his breath. I stood right beside Mum in shock,knowing fully well he doesn't like that brand of noodles,Why asking mum when you don't like it? Why eat it when you don't like it? Why asked Mum to buy it when we all don't fancy eating noodles,isn't that a waste of "Mumsy's" hard earned money ? I rhetorically asked myself.
Yes! I bought it, its right there beside the driver's seat, mum replied pointing directly at it. Like a speed of light Alex rushed there while he unpackaged the carton of noodles. Mum, I found it, lifting up a comic strip while winging it in the air. They've finally released the fifth episode after much waiting, thank you mum, Alex said. A comic strip is the reason for all these excitement? I faced Mum while I expect her to bail me out of my curiosity.
Isn't it worth it?You know how your younger brother can be when he comes to anything comic, Mum said.
Apparently, one of the biggest and yet famous manufacturing industry of noodles in Nigeria named Dufil Foods used comic strip as a promotional tool to endear their target customers; mostly children. They used a tactical method to release each episode of the comic strip.
"Get their carton of noodles and you'll see it sitting well among the well arranged packed of noodles"
And that was it.
The comic strip was titled The Indomitable meaning, Indestructible. It's coined from their brand name Indomie .
The comic strip portrayed five schoolers who were ordinary humans like any of us but later possessed extraordinary magical powers because, of their kind heart and the desire to make the world a better place, free of villains. The character names are as follows and their abilities.
Firstly, Tweeny who has the ability to go invisible.
Then, Swifty who has the power of speed and agility.
Also, Stretchy who has a flexible body that can take form in any shape.
Again, Vision has the extra ultra sight that is capable of releasing laser through his eyes.
The last but not the least, Big boy who possessing an extraordinary manpower and manpower. He literally, can move, break, bend or destroy anything using his strength.
Sis! give it to me, Alex would demand.
I remembered how I would sneak in to his room to read every released episode.
Alex doesn't like people touching his stuffs not even his comic strip. Occasionally, I'm busted by him whenever I'm set to have a taste of what he's enjoying; comic strip.
