Story: 🗼🚀 The Chilickito Lighthouse

⚠️ CONTAINS SPOILERS ⚠️

From the comic “The Brainrots” #3  - published in October 2025

• Script and writing: Sandro Savarese
• Art: Syarif

Among the most unique stories in the “The Brainrots” comic universe, there is one that combines adventure, strange inventions, and a lonely island in the middle of the sea.

The protagonist is Instinctive Platypus, sky explorer and improbable pilot, always ready to launch toward new destinations… even when he hasn’t checked his fuel levels properly.

🚀 A Flight That Ends Badly

The story begins with Instinctive Platypus crossing the sky thanks to his back rockets.

He is traveling toward the mysterious islands of the Chilickito Sea, an archipelago full of secrets and legends.

But during the flight, the inevitable happens.

He runs out of fuel.

The engines spit sparks, the sound of the thrusters slowly fades away… and the platypus crashes toward a small, lonely island.

🏝️ The Island of the Broken Lighthouse

When he gets up after the emergency landing, Platypus discovers that there is almost nothing on the island.

Only two things:

• an old broken lighthouse, which has been dark for years
• a small creature called a Chilickito

The Chilickito seems calm and kind… and spends his time making incredibly perfect super-toasts.

Crunchy.
Golden.
Fragrant.

Maybe a little too perfect.

🔧 The Fuel Problem

Instinctive Platypus needs to repair his rockets.

But without fuel, he will never be able to leave.

So, he begins studying the island with the Chilickito, looking for a way to transform something on the island… into energy.

Between bizarre attempts, improvised inventions, and unlikely recipes, a curious question arises:

Is it possible to create fuel starting from a perfect toast?

 

🌊 The Journey Continues?

The Chilickito Sea is full of mysterious islands.

And this could be just the first.

If Platypus manages to get his rockets working again, the journey will continue toward new places and new adventures.

But first…

he must figure out the secret of the Chilickito's super-toasts.

 

🎨 Syarif’s First Masterpiece

This story also has special value for the comic.

It is, in fact, the first comic drawn by Syarif for “The Brainrots”.

Curiously, it was the first story drawn, but not the first one published.

For editorial reasons, the Halloween story came out first in the October issue, while “The Chilickito Lighthouse” was moved to the November issue.

A small delay that made this adventure even more anticipated.

 

🌟 A Story of Beginnings

“The Chilickito Lighthouse” marks the beginning of the collaboration with Syarif, and introduces a new corner of the The Brainrots narrative universe.

A lonely island.
A forgotten lighthouse.
A Chilickito making perfect toasts.

And a platypus who hasn’t finished his journey yet.
