One day, a man takes his only child to a comic shop (warning: text wall approaching)

The only child has one neighbor who lives across the street. They're an elderly couple. Nobody of his age that he would like. Unfortunately, the child is home-schooled, too, so he has no chance of making friends at school. The child's parents decide that they should get him into comics in hopes that he might realize that some of the greatest heroes didn't have friends as a child, either. The child, at the age of 6, walks into the shop. He looks around and sees a Superman comic. Smiling, the boy begs his father for the comic. He gets the comic, and they walk home happily with the comic. When they get home, the boy begins to read the comic.

As the boy goes into his teens, he has many comics, action figures, and superhero movies. Cups and plates are strewed all over the floor, since the teenager is too immersed in his comics to return them to the kitchen. One day, the mother of the boy walks in his room, and he throws a Hulk action figure at her, screaming, "HULK SMASH THOSE WHO NO KNOCK!" The mother, shocked by the action figure, accidentally drops a china plate she was cleaning with a wash cloth. The plate falls onto the figure, snapping off it's head as they hit the floor. The teenager starts shouting insults at the mother, and eventually she slaps him. The teenager screams and cries so loudly that the very elderly lady across the street (the elderly man passed on a few years back) calls the police for a case of child abuse. The mother gets arrested, and the father and his son are deeply saddened.

One day, the teen decides to try illegal drugs and alcohol. As he walks along the sidewalk, searching for illegal dealers, he hears a beautiful tune. He decides to drop illegal activities and start a band, simply because of this tune. When the new band is deciding a name, the teen begins to think: the elderly lady across the street called the cops to get my mom arrested. If my mom wasn't arrested, I wouldn't have gotten interested in illegal activities. If I hadn't gotten into illegal activities, I wouldn't hear the song that made me start this. So technically, an elder caused me to start this band. But for her to know it was abuse the night I screamed and not me seeing a spider or something, she must have been experienced. She must have seen a thousand worlds. To see so many things, you gotta be brave!

So, the teen suggests they call themselves The Elder Who Is So Brave They Have Seen 1,000 Worlds. The band agrees, and they play loudly into the night.

One day, as the teen walks into the kitchen for breakfast, the father says that a new recording studio has opened up down the block and they're looking for "new blood" and that the band should try and get one of their songs up. The teen's new step-mother and baby step-sister laugh. Getting angry and feeling rebellious, the teen tells his band. They go down to the studio and find out that they now have a recording label.

A couple years later, The Elder Who Is So Brave They Have Seen 1,000 Worlds is invited to a big studio in Hollywood since they've gained so much fame. Saying goodbye to their original recording label, the band and their families move to Hollywood. They release a new album, which tops the charts. Now the band is known by everyone.

One day, the band is practicing in the teen's garage. Suddenly, a small spider crawls in. The band screams, knocking over all of their equipment and causing a ruckus.

Suddenly, a young woman who was watching the band on the sidewalk at the time began to laugh out loud. Another woman came along and asked what was so funny.

"This old guy just tore down his garage because of a tiny spider!"

(It's not funny until you imagine the scene, guys.)
