Read All About Ed

"Read All About Ed" is the 8th episode of Season 1 of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, the Eds paper route is easy for them at first, but later becomes too much for them to handle.

Plot
It's 4:35 in the morning and Double D's got himself a paper round to do so he can save up to buy an electron microscope of his own. Eddy is instantly surprised of earning money, imagining how much money could be earned from 50 rounds! The next morning, tons of newspapers are dumped upon Double D's doorstep, however mornings are still not Eddy's thing and he somehow manages to be lazy sunbathing and dreaming of all the Jawbreakers and not helping Ed and Double D. They will soon be able to buy while his pals run around delivering the news. Things could do with speeding up, so Double D devises a machine to shoot the papers (or Ed) onto doorsteps at high velocity with strong force… however, it's only a matter of time before disaster - and unlucky summer rains - STRIKE!

 * In the scene were Ed's feet break through his mattress, his eyebrow disappears (probably due to an animation goof)
