This week your two bookends read chapter 3, 3.5 and 4 of the Eye of Argon by Jim Theis, where Grignr sits in the dark, considering how much less he eats when he does nothing, we get a completely unexplained cutaway to some pimpin shamen (sic) hanging about where we get a glimpse of the titular Eye of Argon, before going back to possibly the longest chapter so far, where Grignr fights with a rat, and nothing else of note occurs. However, to our delight this life or death tussle with a rodent does provide Grignr with his first workable escape plan.

As ever, this description does no justice to the baffling prose employed by the dearly departed Theis.
