Rufferto the Swordsdog makes his heroic debut and defeats enemy after enemy and saves the french poodle! Then reality sets in and he ends up biting some peasant and saving a mutt, hahahahaaha. Meanwhile Groo is doing Groo’ish things, ie, messing up everything.
What I enjoyed was how Aragones manages to tell two complete stories that are complementary but don’t impinge on the other. That man has an imagination like nobody’s business and the skill to carry it through! I continue to be astounded and amazed ;-)
As per usual, I am including a page that particularly amused me.

Rufferto daydreams about becoming a great swordsdog and saving the poodle Fifi from the clutches of an evil king. Meanwhile, Groo “saves” a caravan from being robbed, only to find out he was helping the robbers. And in making it up, robs the original owner. Groo just can’t win! Thankfully, Rufferto gets to make out with Fifi, so it’s not a total loss for them :-D
