Been reading Sergio Aragones Groo The Wanderer for the first time.
It's a pretty funny comic.
In short, it was created to poke fun at Barbarian based fantasy, especially Conan The Barbarian for whom Groo was modeled after.
So here are some Grooisms for you:
Sailor one: We are about to set sail with this oaf.
Sailor 2: You don't know who that is?
Sailor 1: No.
Sailor 2: THAT IS GROO!
Sailor 1: It can't be Groo. We're still afloat.
Then the ship sinks.
For unless his faithful companion, a spotted dog named Rufferto is with him, every ship he steps on sinks, without fail.
Groo does what Groo does best: A FRAY!
In which he will simply slaughter all soldiers in any army regardless of what side he is on.
And there is always a moral at the end of the story. Such as:
"Just because you believe it does not make it so."
It is a pretty funny comic and well worth the reading.
My favorite is when he thinks he ate his faithful dog, who is so enamored by Groo that he thinks Groo can do no wrong and is the smartes being in the universe.
But there are many other funny stories to tell.
