Billed as the world's first programmable comic, "Hello World" tells the story of a Mom down on her luck and her two faithful children. The reader, acting as the Mom gets to choose which items to pack into her kids' lunchboxes before sending them out into the world. Depending upon how the boxes were packed, the children can return home with empty handed, with butter or die in a firey explosion at the supermarket.

Hello World has two tiers that work independently of eachother not unlike the mix-n-match monster books of your childhood. Memory is stored in the bottom tier while the story takes place in the upper tier. Like Meanwhile, the panels of the story are connected by a network of tubes. These tubes constantly dip in and out of the memory tier to determine what happens next in the story.
