Ben and Zane had regressed to the age of children (moreso than normal) and
they needed to be kept entertained. After playing violent video games and
loading up on sugar, the Cartoncasters couldn’t be kept safely in this
world. No, they were instead sent to a magical world of reptilian
babysitters, draggin’ them around on adventures. It kept their short
attention spans occupied, and they didn’t cause too much damage to the
local ecology. But they didn’t really learn anything either.
