"Muriel Blows Up: One evening, a stray military test rocket bursts above the farmhouse. It showers the ground with debris and a mysterious residue that only Courage notices. The next morning, Muriel finds a carrot growing in her garden. Courage notices it's growing very quickly and warns Muriel. She ignores his warnings, eats the carrot and begins to grow, eventually becoming as tall as the house. Courage and the Farmer hear a news report on TV about the test rocket that exploded and learn that Muriel will grow until she explodes. Courage has to get into Muriel's stomach and defeat the Military Carrot before it's too late. Profiles In Courage: At a county fair, a mysterious paper-cutter offers to make full-size cameo silhouettes of Muriel and the Farmer. Back at the farmhouse, Muriel mounts the cameos on the wall and heads upstairs to bed. Courage sees the silhouettes moving in their picture frames and screams as the cameos escape the frames.The sinister silhouettes drape themselves over the sleeping Farmer and Muriel and steal their souls, pulling the life force out of them both and leaving only their inanimate bodies behind. The silhouettes become three-dimensional, still made of paper but shaped like real people now. Courage must find a way to get the silhouettes to leave so that Muriel and the Farmer can return."Show more
