"Sigmund the Sorceror"—An Aesop Episode

Kyle's rival Sigmund, a much more successful and popular wizard, comes to Galaxy Hills. Kyle, against his wishes, finds himself expecting Sigmund over for dinner (with a much enthused Fanboy and Chum Chum), and he fears Sigmund will find out he hasn't made nearly as much achievement as a mage. But with the help of his friends, Kyle learns that success doesn't always lie in fame and fortune.

"Sigmund the Sorceror" is a delightful episode that delivers an Aesop in a fun, non-sappy way. Learning that Sigmund has in the past made Kyle feel lesser than him, Fanboy and Chum Chum pose as Kyle's "elf assistants" and put on a smoke-and-mirrors act to make his house appear enchanted. But when Sigmund forces Kyle to admit to the sham, Sigmund leaves feeling superior. But Kyle is soon brought to realize that although he doesn't have money, fans, or an enchanted house; he does have two good friends who would go to so much trouble to make him feel better about himself. The ending also refutes Kyle's earlier statement of "...he'll learn that I am nothing and I have nothing"; he now realizes he's a winner and he has friends.
