In The Frycook what Came from All that Space Sizz-Lorr is left to fend for himself during a Foodening and it buys Zim 20 years of freedom since the gravitational pull of a Foodening is so strong that nothing can escape it (and the reason that it takes less than 20 years for Sizz-Lorr to come looking for Zim is very a very complicated matter involving space and time and relativity and crap like that. Trust me.)
