The Island of Garage Fonts is a remote I-shaped island far away from civilization where the worst fonts are dumped. There is also a native people who lived on the island before the fonts came and advanced far enough to have their own culture and language but use rudimentary methods to catch fish, cook their meals over a fire, and have utilized carts and wheels to move their food around in the village. Winston Q. Dingbert was exiled to the island after presenting Zimdings to the Committee of Fonts. He colonized the natives, called them Dingbats, and forced them to learn Zimdings. Many years later, the Teen Titans arrived in search of Dingbert to undo the Typocalypse. Cyborg recalled legends said Dingbert lived in the center of the island but he warned of the horrors to come but the others didn't quite believe him. He was grossed out by the Comic Sans crabs, crabs with the letters "CRAB" in the Comic Sans font as their body. After crossing the Helvetic Hills, they encountered one of the natives hiding in a Brush Script bush.
Robin ordered the being to show himself. Cyborg was aghast to hear him talking in Zimdings and called him a heathen. Cyborg blasted his dialogue balloon away with his arm cannon and demanded to know where his leader was. The native became scared. Robin told him to wait and pointed out he was just trying to help them. Raven admonished Cyborg for almost costing them a lead on the whereabouts of Dingbert. Beast Boy tried asking the native where his village was. The native led them to it. Dingbert stepped out of his hut and played dumb about what events had transpired. Cyborg immediately recognized him and ordered him to puts his hands up. He saw through Dingbert's facade and charged him with what happened to the world. Dingbert continued to feign innocence and stated it would be a shame to not see all of the fonts in their full glory. He pledged to help them apprehend whoever was responsible then invited the Titans inside his hut for tea. Raven scolded Cyborg for prejudging Dingbert.
After the Titans relaxed, Raven noted it must have been tough to live so far away from civilization. Dingbert told them a liberal version of his exile and teaching the native people the language of Zimdings. He mused it had been a long time since he felt such a purpose in life. All but Cyborg were moved by the story. Dingbert promised them answers but wanted to show them something first. He pressed his remote and dropped the Titans into an underground prison chamber where the fonts were being held captive. Dingbert leaped down and harnessed the power of Zimdings. He took on a new powerful form and declared he was Lord Zimding then conjured powerful constructs that resembled the symbols from the Zimdings font, a pointing finger, a plane, and a pencil. Raven conjured a shield just in time to protect everyone but Dingbert quickly created several dagger constructs above her and pinned her to the ground. Cyborg was about to fire his arm cannon, but Dingbert created a pair of scissors and cut his arm off then droped a giant mailbox on Robin and Beast Boy.
Raven admitted they were no match for his font-based powers. Robin lifted up a corner of the mailbox and proposed they free the other fonts and harness their power. Starfire transformed into Princess Papyrus, Raven into Gothic Centurion, Beast Boy into Captain Impact, and Robin into Arial Black. They combined their power into one blast named the Super Mega Laser Blast. Dingbert was able to put up a smiley face shield then countered with his own blast and steadily gained ground. Cyborg refused to merge with Comic Sans at first but the Raven pleaded with him to put aside his font snobbery or the world would be doomed. Cyborg caved and became Super Comic Sans. The combined power of the Super Mega Laser Blast Attack overcame Dingbert and Zimdings was destroyed. The world was restored back to normal. The natives were grateful to the Titans for defeating Dingbert and hit him repeatedly after Cyborg tied him up. Cyborg apologized for being a font snob and realized it only mattered how you used a font.
