You wake up one morning, yawning and stretching like normal. You go get your coffee and newspaper like normal. You reach down to pick the paper up, and your arm goes through it, like normal.
Wait, what?!
You try to yank your arm out, but it's stuck! And it's pulling you in!
Suddenly, everything goes black, and when you wake up...
There's nothing. Literally, nothing but you and a box. You look over to see two more boxes, and similar copies of yourself, all looking equally confused.
Then you realize you're 2D. In the comic section. Hoo, boy. This might just make you late for work.
Welcome to RTBAC! Or Roll to Be A Cartoon!
The goal in this is to make your way OUT of the comics section, and ultimately OUT of the newspaper. Physics are extremely warped, and enemies are countless. This will make for a tough fight, but you'll do anything to not lose your job. Good LUUCK!
