As
- if
- reading
- my
- mind,
- B.
- P.
- Draper
- uses
- the
- third
- Bubby
- episode
- to
- develop
- his
- characters
- further.
- In
- fact,
- when
- Bubby
- becomes
- concerned
- that
- he
- is
- not
- receiving
- enough
- page
- time,
- Dat
- (his
- supercomputer),
- comments,
- "I'm
- sure
- that
- the
- 'big
- man,'
- as
- you
- call
- him,
- is
- just
- improving
- his
- writing
- skills
- by
- developing
- characters
- and
- spending
- time
- creating
- a
- meaningful
- plot,"
- to
- which
- Bubby
- replies,
- "You
- really
- think
- so?
- I'm
- not
- sure
- he's
- quite
- that
- talented."
- With
- a
- surprise
- ending
- that
- no
- one
- in
- their
- right
- mind
- would
- conceive,
- Bubby
- III
- sets
- up
- the
- confrontation
- of
- the
- century
- for
- Bubby
- IV.
