Letter from the Professor
Professor Elemental writes a letter to the editor of the London Times, following their article "Professor's Comic Launch Causes Riot, Destroys London". In his letter the Professor explains that the launch party was actually a family fun day, not another mad scheme and that only one of the creators went mad inside a giant robot, and that the exploding animals whose deaths were blamed on the band where rather exaggerated, along with the claims of working with the dead, and the writers being admitted to an Asylum.

The Tempestuous Teapot
By Christopher Mole, David Perry and David Metcalfe-Carr

In 1881, Professor Elemental and Geoffrey take to the jungles of Borneo where, atop an ancient temple they find a bejewelled teapot. The pair of them return to Elemental Manor with the pot, and put on a quick brew, finding the weather turning bad. Geoffrey worries it may have something to do with the teapot, but the Professor ignores him, instead opting to deal with his roses.

The ninth annual Professor Elemental Village Fete is fast approaching and the Professor has learnt that Mr. Belmont intends to win the best roses grand prize, forcing the Professor to fight back. He spends the next week tending to his roses, all thoughts of the teapot forgotten, until finally they are ready for display. The Professor settles down to relax with a cup of tea, using the Tempestuous Teapot against Geoffrey's recommendations, and a tsunami washes over the roses, ruining them. Geoffrey points out that he too has been growing roses, using his own dung and the remains of the plant monster to fertilise them and they are perfect. The Professor wins first place at the fete, much to Mr. Belmont's annoyance, and plans to celebrate with a cuppa.

Large Animal Legislation
By Alexander Patterson and Jonathon Taylor

The Professor is taking tea at home, when Geoffrey introduces Bernard Tranter from the mayors office. Mr Tranter informs the Professor that a creature has escaped from the Professor's menagerie, and the Professor investigates, learning the Gentleman Rex has escaped. He grabs the Daedelus V before strapping Bernard into the Icarus III the pair of them flying into town to take on the Rex, the Professor a little more eager than Bernard.

Their initial assault on the Gentleman Rex fails in part due to Bernard's inability to control the Icarus III and the Professor sends Geoffrey to collect Mavis - his trusty cricket bat.

The Professor faces off against the Gentleman Rex and swings his bat, only for Bernard to accidentally fly into the back of the Rex's head. The Professor takes the credit for the win, leaving the Rex and Bernard unconscious on the streets of London.

Elemental ponders how to pay the bills since he's no longer allowed to give lectures at the Fotherington's Club after what happened to Dr. Cavendish months ago. He considers opening a new petting Zoo, but Geoffrey reminds him of the animal stampede last time. The Professor next contemplates a bake sale, until remembering the creation of Cakeface and the way he attacked the judges.
