Groo is trying to buy some food and “compromises” with the seller for 10kopens (when the initial price is 2kopens), only to find that he has NO kopens. Which means he needs a job. He finds a job, that pays nil. Groo is sure that “nil” is a lot of kopens, so he immediately consigns Rufferto to guard his swords and off he goes to work. Only to find that he isn’t fed. He challenges the overseer to a fray, but he ends up having to use the overseer’s sword and he loses the fray. So he’s back on the chain gang. Meanwhile, Rufferto, now known as a hero to the dog community, tries to rescue a bunch of strays, gets captured himself, orchestrates his own escape, is captured, then captured by pirates, then almost eaten by a shark AND a dragon, almost sacrificed to a barbarian idol but finally makes his way back to Groo’s swords. Which he then delivers to Groo, who promptly “frays” with the overseer and accidentally sets everyone free. The issue ends with Groo realizing he won’t be paid and wondering how much money he hasn’t been paid over the last year.
I am realizing that I am not going to
have a separate “thoughts” and “synopsis” section for Groo
anymore. I read these and most of what I think ends up just being a
synopsis anyway, so I’ve decided to just include that. It’s not
like it is going to spoil everything for any of you, since none of
you will be reading these :-D and honestly, putting up the one page
that I find the most amusing is about all I really want to do for
these comics anyway. You are welcome…
