First Totem Problems

1
Wait, Mom, Dad.
Uncle, don't push!
- Grandma. Wait, wait!
- An hour styling
your Molefe chest hairs,
and now, we are late
for the child's totem ceremony.
If your Mniki legs moved
as fast as your mouth,
we wouldn't be this late!
Adult verified.
Yho.
Adult verified.
Ooh, whatever totem I get is going
to look real good on these hands.
Adult life, here I come. Ugh!
- Hey, with our Molefe totem
- Mom?
our baby girl will soon be
- our quantum physics-loving adult. Baby!
- Gogo. Dad?
-Hello?
-Who said the child likes physics?
- Uncle!
- Hey,
with our Mniki totem,
- she'll be a third-generation
- Mom!
- Healer ♪
- Excuse me.
- Like her father ♪
- Excuse me!
I think you forgot something?
Yo, sorry, my baby.
- Adult verified.
- Mama didn't see you there.
You okay?
Nervous? Faint?
Water? Baba, where's the child's snacks?
- Here.
- Hmm.
Uh
Uh
Oh, my baby, you feeling cold?
Eish! Do you want
this child to suffocate?
Mom. Dad.
I could dress myself!
Adult verified.
Yeah, ne.
Excuse me, excuse me,
my good people.
We seem to have a family
runningon African time.
So, any advice about getting my totem?
Thought maybe I'll do some traveling
after I get it.
You know, get away for a bit.
-Haibo!
-Gah!
Kidding.
Isu.
And finally, Sheba Mniki is here.
The long walk to freedom
never looked so good.
Okay, I'm ready!
Your totem connects you to your past
and propels you into your future.
You will pass through a child
and with the ancestral gift of a totem
return an adult!
Yho!
Go get it, baby!
Give thanks!
Give thanks!
Give thanks!
Oh, did she break it?
Heh?
Maybe the child is not ready?
Not ready?
I told you,
your mother shouldn't have come.
My love, it's nobody's fault
Oh, no, no, no.
She ruins everything!
Ay, my tooth!
I am getting that totem
even if it kills me!
Welcome to
"Ancestors Never Die" Incorporated,
my babes.
Surname and time of death please, babes?
Um
Sheba Mniki?
But I'm not actually dead.
- At least I don't feel dead.
- Oh!
Mniki! Mniki, Mniki, Mniki!
- Excuse me, but who are you?
- Oh!
My child!
Your child?
-Well, that
-Mm-mm, child!
Let the adults speak.
Sheba
No, man, no record
of your new arrival today, babes.
And Wewe Mniki,
Mimi Molefe,
aren't one of you
meant to be giving out your totem today?
My ancestors?
Hi. New Arrivals.
Babes, I think we have
an unregistered new soul, lost down here.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Let me get her
to soul suction and body replacement
before she starts to rot, shame!
I know, right?
-"Rot"?
-I'd hate to tell you because
Hey!
So, I'm not dead, right?
Or rotting?
No, not yet, child!
But how did you know the healer's cloak
would get you through the waterfall?
You're too smart.
Ah! Definitely a Mniki!
And I'm where, exactly?
Ancestral plane, Totems Department.
Just need to get you a spirit suit
so I can sneak you to the totem printer
before Mimi finds you
us.
Totem printer!
I definitely support that move!
Quick, ntanam, put this on!
I swear I can smell Mimi coming.
Cheater!
Did you really think
you could steal my child
and give her your totem?
Wait, what?
Ha! Ho-ho!
Eh!
Bless you.
Ha!
So I didn't get a totem
because you two were fighting?
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.
- Stop! Hey! Uh
- Hey!
She's a Mniki,
and you want to dirty her future
with your Molefe totem. Sies!
Well, I'm happy to just pick one
and get out of here and
- Hmph!
- Don't beat the drums of war
unless you're ready
for a real fight, sister!
Whoa!
Hey, please stop fighting.
- Ah!
- What are you doing?
Respect me!
Come closer
and I'll show you respect, bro!
Hey!
This looks like a good time to go
and find that printing room, huh?
Huh? You--
Attention, babe-ses!
If anyone sees
a lost soul with dreads around,
call me or security.
Thank you, my babe-ses!
How can I help you?
Okay.
Let's go.
Excuse me!
Where can I find the totem printer?
Here
- Uh-huh.
- Aha!
Security says! Stop!
- Stop.
- Stop.
She's here somewhere, babe-ses.
I can smell the body rot-ses!
Okay, left, left, right.
There she is!
- Hey, wena, stop!
- The totem printer
Straight, left, the other left.
Ah! Ah
Ah! Yo!
A'ight, man.
-Oh! Whoa!
-Whoa!
Security! You stop!
Phew! Finally!
All right, here we go,
here we go, here we go.
All right, shake it off.
You got this.
Mm-hm?
Mm?
Hmm.
Ah. Aha!
-Hey, wena!
-No!
You can't just make your own totem,
it's more than just a tattoo.
It's your strength in community!
If you two won't make this work
then I'll make this work!
You don't understand!
We actually scan
a part of ourselves into the totem.
To keep the connection, us, alive!
I mean, carrying a piece of you
in my totem is a little gross
but I get it.
So I can literally feel you in my life.
Hmm.
Stop, Sheba. Who knows what could happen!
You could die!
We could die! Again!
But I did manage to break in here
and I'm still alive.
Not rotting yet,
so I'm getting my totem and I'm out!
Ooh, shame!
What kind of stubborn heart is this?
I blame the Mniki's! Ah!
-True!
-Ah!
But we also have
a history of heart attacks
-the child should watch out for!
-Hey! The child deserves my totem!
She deserves peace!
- She deserves mine!
- Hey, look! I've got it!
What?
Now I've got it!
Oh
Yho.
Did she break herself?
Eh? No Totem.
And then?
What did you do, babe-ses?
Security, bound her.
Printing room, babe-ses.
Bye-bye, baby nunu! Bye-bye!
You have eyes and glasses, Baba.
How could you not see where she went?
Never trust a man with no chest hair!
Bend down then so I can snatch
that disrespect out of your chest!
E-yho! The child probably ran away
from all this fighting!
I didn't run away!
Well, at least I'm not going to anymore.
Huh?
Aww.
Our baby
- Eh?
- Adult!
Haibo,
where is my cloak?
That's my cue!
Seriously?
Adult verified.
Relax.
There's plenty of space for us all!
