Sherman then [explains everything that happened] and by once done, Sheriff goes out to the gather up the available police force and the local military unit to stop Dr. Doodle.

At Dr. Doodle's Factory, Dr. Doodle prepares his Monkey-Bot militia to take over the city at dawn. The doctor also gifts Tiger with an advanced armor suit for the upcoming invasion.

When everything was going according to Doodle’s plan, suddenly an explosion booms the factory, creating a giant hole in the side of it. Coming from the hole steps out Sheriff, Sherman, members of the city’s police force, and the local militia who all are ready for what’s to come next. They demand the doctor to stand down, but he refuses and commands his army to attack.

Shortly after, Dr. Doodle takes out his <ghost be goner machine> and Sherman is instantly sucked into it. Now with no one to else to protect the city from dangerous threats, Big City is now in the hands of diabolical doctor.

## Development

A little after the launch of the fifth Main Saga comic issue, Jonathan wanted to continue the main narrative with the second part of the |Return to the Amazon Duology|, making the sixth comic.

Though wanting to do this, he felt that there would be gap or some missing connection between the parts one and two, because the second part would continue off where the first ended. It would eventually lead up to our heroes returning to Big City, finding out Dr. Doodle has finally taken over the city. Jonathan felt the need to explain the events of how Dr. Doodle took over the city, but he didn’t want to tell everything in writing on the back cover of the next issue or in the beginning prologue of another future comic.

Instead he would create a comic issue during some events of part one of *Return to the Amazon* and between part two, but it would have the comic revolving around Dr. Doodle. The comic became the first in the series to have the main character be someone else other than Monkey Man. And from there, the comic is known as *Monkey Man 5 1/2: Dr. Doodle’s Revolution* which was released on June 10th 2018, also making it the second comic of the Rapid-Fire Era.
