All things considered, Mimic’s idea is a pretty good one. The cube is the only one of our three heroes with any kills, unless you count Rusty eating the statue.
It sounds not at all heroic or brave on his part, but Mimic knows that a good leader shrewdly deploys his team’s assets to their full potential. And cube gets shit done.
Hey, it’d be topical AND it’d drive away those face-eating bears in the cave. Or convince them to give up mangling face and start saving the neighboring kingdom from the traitor brother to the king.
Considering what happened in Level One, strip #3 (Handy link for those of you who don’t recall http://rustyandco.com/comic/3/ ), this is actually not such a bad plan…Cube fills the cave from wall to wall and slithers on in, eating everything that impedes him.
Though why is it they have to go -through- the cave? Wouldn’t -around- be faster, less dangerous, and less demanding of candles/torches?
Sheesh anon. Your question is like why didn’t Gandalf at the Counci of Elrond suggest flying the ring to Mt Doom with the help of the Eagles? Sure it would work, but then there would be no story.
I keep hearing that one. Reflect that Sauron knows darn well that giant eagles (and dragons, who – isn’t this odd? – are NOT servants of his) exist and has had thousands of years to devise ways to snare them. Plus, of course, anybody flying over his mountains on a freakin’ GIANT EAGLE is almost certain to be a new Ringlord coming to try to take over his kingdom – who else would have such cojones??
Mimic deals with puzzles, Rusty deals with metallic problems (“eat problem?”), and GC deals with organic problems. How was this not clear to her as of the debriefing*?

Not to Mention He’s the Only one without a face to be completely Wrecked
Mr. Chatterbox.. <..> I see what you did there!
… or a person at all, really
That’s right. I’ll say it again.
CUBE GETS SHIT DONE

That’s genius!
The bears will “COMPLETELY WRECK YOUR FACE” but GC doesn’t have a face… or he has 6, depending on your perspective.
And when he goes down the stairs, he doubles as a roll for initiative.
I especially like the musical references to RHPS and Cheers, can’t wait to see what the bard’s next lyrical contribuiton will be…
I vote for the theme to the Gummi Bears.
Oh, please God no…

Hmm. May be entirely Possible that the Bears, turn out to be Bares… 🙂
Trust in the cube and you will be saved… or eaten.

There must be a Quest to accomplish something Quest-worthy. Otherwise it’s a run to the corner store.

Technically, the eagles don’t work for Gandalf. They work for his boss, who no longer lives in that universe.
It looks like the cave is the only passage through a mountain, so they *can’t* go around.
… we can’t go over it, we can’t go under it- oh no: we have to go through it! Groar, sizzle, groar, sizzle…
well, I can’t really see how a bear would HURT G.C….

Hey, Mimic has kills! Blew up that pirate ship, remember?
