"Hot Tub"

Hot Tub is the third of three short stories in the comic, Regular Show Issue 3. It was written by Brandon T. Snider and Illustrated by JJ Harrison.

Plot
It begins with Mordecai reading the video game monthly magazine, but being interrupted by Rigby who wanted to show him something. They head over and, well it's just a hot tub in the middle of the woods. Rigby wants it, christens it as CROCKETT-N-TUBBS, but Mordecai doesn't agree. He thinks Rigby doesn't understand exactly how much work you need to keep a hot tub and passes the wisdom, "A True Hot Tub Belongs To No One And Everyone", which is ignored by Rigby. Rigby takes it home, and gets in it. While he's in it, however, a green tentacle begins to pull him down. Mordecai holds his hand, but they both get pulled in. Then they fall down into the jets,in a vortex. They are in trubville, a sub urb of trubcity in the state of Trubs. The man who tells them this reveals himself as the King Of Trubs, Bubbles. Bubbles tell them that Hot Tubs are for Old People with Sore Backs. Bubbles is about to get his men to kill Mordecai and Rigby, so Rigby makes the speech that he just saw the tub in the forest and thought it looked lonely, and he wanted something to love. Bubbles realises this and lets them go, but offers his daughter, Chlorine, because Rigby said he wanted to love something, so he could love her. Mordecai explains they are both involved with other people. With that, he lets them go.
