How's Bayou?

How's Bayou? is an American comic inspired by The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa. It was published in December 1995 as part of that month's issue of Disney Adventures.
==Synopsis==
While visiting the Louisiana Bayou, Timon hunts a bug which he finds to be the most delicious he's ever seen. Because he has been hunting said bug for hours, Pumbaa wonders if the grub is really worth it. As Timon nearly catches the bug, he and Pumbaa hear a sound of someone's cry, which scares away the bug, much to Timon's annoyance. As the meerkat approaches the bug again, the crying sound scares the grub once again. Enraged, Timon decides to find the creature responsible for the noise. Following the sound, Timon and Pumbaa find a weeping frog named Francine.
Timon and Pumbaa ask Francine why she's crying, to which she responds that she thinks she's ugly and that nobody loves her. Pumbaa wants to help her but Timon is reluctant, pointing out that frogs are nature's ugliest creatures and that they can't change her self-usage. Offering Francine help, Pumbaa asks her to tell them her tale of woe, to which she at first misunderstands as "tail", which she doesn't have. Pumbaa tells Francine that she is beautiful for a frog, comparing her with warthogs such as himself by pointing out that his species are not much to look at but Timon knows that it's inside that counts, to which Timon points out in return that Pumbaa got lucky considering his vaporous nature. This makes Francine believe that Pumbaa is special unlike her, to which the warthog replies that everybody's special and that she just has yet to find her special quality.
Pumbaa asks Francine what she can do that others like himself and Timon can't do. She shows the duo that she can catch bugs with her tongue. She then shows Timon and Pumbaa her neck bloat, to which Pumbaa praises but Timon shows disgust. Pumbaa tells Timon that every species has its attractive qualities, to which Timon agrees by pointing out that he will stick to attractive qualities that don't involve neck bloat and saliva. Francine then shows Timon and Pumbaa her crush, whose name is Frank, who she hopes would notice her. Realizing that all Francine wanted was to win the affection of Frank, Timon wants to leave but Pumbaa gets an idea that he and Timon should pretend to fight over Francine in order to get Frank's attention.
Timon is at first reluctant with the idea, but ultimately goes along with it as Pumbaa points out that doing so will help him finally catch his lunch. Five seconds later, Frank notices Timon and Pumbaa "fighting" over Francine, making him become attracted to her and the two frogs fall in love. Timon admits that helping Francine made him feel better, but only because he can finally catch his lunch. When Timon finally catches and eats the bug, he realizes that despite it looking delicious, it actually tastes nasty. This makes the meerkat learn from Pumbaa that attractiveness comes from the inside.
