The Ruined Zoo
The Golems loomed menacingly overthe battlefield. The Boogeyman'sarmy and the boy's band of rebeltoys trembled with fear, awaitingthe monstrosities’ next move...

part of yourplan?
dosomething.
CRACKCRACK
Run for your
lives!
He’scoming foryou, brave
knight!
You’llbe safeon thecliff!
All right,let’s cleanup in here.
Time for thebig move.
Johnny,go grab
another boxfrom the
otherroom.
Already?
Yeah!
Help!
Sure,I--
Uh… Imight need
some…
I knowthis wasn’t your
idea but sometimesfamily needs to makesacrifices. Grandma is
gonna take yourbrother’s room
while I’mgone. but
dad--
I bunkedwith my brotheras a kid. I’ll betyou’ll even likeit eventually.
Really?
Hello,knight. Itappears
you are ina spot ofduress.
I am, kindsir. I’ve beentrapped formonths. Canyou pleasehelp me?
My knightsand some of
the other toystried, but the
weight wastoo much.
Oh, myfriend, It has
been closer to ayear. In that timehas no one come
to search foryou?
What ofthat boy,
your master?Surely, a toysuch as you
has beenmissed.
For atime… but
another has takenmy place. I hear
them playing. I tryto ignore it,
but I cannot.
All whileyou remain lost
behind this largedresser with nohope of rescue.
A pity.
I fearnow that I
have lost favorhe will crush melike his common
toys. Perhapsthis is a kinder
fate than rescue.I would rather
end my daystrapped
back here.
Ahard truth toswallow, but I
have a possiblesolution. A bargain,
really.
Come playwith me. Be mine. Aforgotten toy like
you, a true warrior,will be treated
with respect.
I am waginga war for my worldand am in need of
a leader... a greatGeneral formy armies.
Welcometo theDark.
Then wehave adeal,
General--
“If not for a twistof fate, homer--”
--and aworld toconquer
together.Will
you joinme?
Yes,anything for
another chance.Free me and
you have yourleader.
“Except them. Imagine my surprisewhen the boy discarded his claymonsters, my greatest enemies,and they too entered The Dark. ”
--I could be fighting amuch different battletoday. Instead, I chose
The Boogeyman’spath.
What?
His willis the way. I
have conqueredall he has put
before me.
“they continued his mad ways…mindlessly destroying my first
army while I put down theZoo Rebellion--”
“--Preventing me fromfinishing the animalsbefore they scurried
into the Jungle.”
“Now they attack againas I chase another group
for the Boogeyman. Itis curious, no?”
General,you’re mad.If you don’t
do it, I will!
Fire! Fireall the
cannons!
Cutthem topieces!
“I am not mad, Homer, merely seeingclearly for the first time. If youhad fought them before, these...”
“...forces of nature...you would know they
are unstoppable.Never ending. ”
“They can not bedestroyed, only
damaged.”
“And even then, the damagedbecome more monstrous.”
“Perhaps they are fate’s ultimatearbiter, Atoning for past ills? Orcould it be the Boogeyman's willinfluencing them to help us end
our pursuit of the rebels?”
BoOoM!BoOoOM!BoOoOM!
BoOoM!
BoOoM!BoOoM!
Max!Harmony!Anyone?
rufrufrufruf
You thinkthese goonsare here to
help us?
If hiswill is truly
all powerful,what else am I
to believe? We willwithdraw, Homer,
and find ourenemies in the
rubble.
It ishis will.
Don’t yousee?
“Leave the cannons andany wounded who cannot
move swiftly.”
“Sound theretreat horn--”
“--this battle is over. TheGolems will determine
everyone’s fate asthey always have.”
I’d eventake thatannoying
yapping rightnow…
I’mcoming,
mutt! Hangon!
rufruf
Max,thank
goodnessyou’realive!
Dusty,butok.
Whereare
the--
--others?
{Kaffkaff}
I’malive. It’sa miracle.
Barely…we’re
trapped.How will we
escape?
We? Ifnot for you
I would not beburied beneaththis wretched
zoo!
Iwantyou
dead!
It’samazinghow our
true naturesreveal
themselves--
…as alldeceivers
do.
No. Don’ttell him.Please.
Doyou want toknow Percy’s
secret?
In truthhe is a liar wholives in fear of
his secret being discovered…
Percivalcan be quite
the bully,can’t he?
Sire,please. Freeme. This madhog meantto kill me
before theGolemscame.
TheGolems
surely domake a mess of
things, don’tthey? So
disruptive.
--underthe proper
circumstances.
You!How?
Theblackest
shadows of TheDark are mine
to wander.
Didyou miss
me?
That’sthe spirit,Percival.
This swindling swine promisedhe’d slow his compatriots
down while I dealt withthe boy. He watched as
their belovedColonel was torn
in two.
He evenaccepted one of
my precious coins,only to turn around
and overthrowone of my
cities!
Mylord…you’rehurting
me.
Perhapsthis soldier
and I will informyour friends of
your truenature, hmm?
Pleasedon’t, I’ll
doanything.
Ahhhh!
{irk}
There.Problemsolved.
that’sanother
favor youowe me.
What morecan I do? I’vebeen leading
them as best Ican but theydon’t always
listen.
Nomore
whining!
Ahhhh!Ahhhh!
I don’teven knowwhere I
am going.
SNAP!SNAP!
You will take therope bridge and
lead them into theJungle that lies
beyond it.
But whywould I tellthem to do
that?
I am sureyou will thinkof something.You are veryresourceful,that is why
I choseyou.
Once There,the hideous beastswill decide your fate.
Some of you might evensurvive, if the beasts’
senses do notreveal all of your
band’s sordidsecrets.
Whatdo you
mean? Whoelse has a
secret?
Percy!Are you downthere? Keeptalking, wehear you!
Do asyou are told
this time. Therewill be no more
bargains.
No moresecond
chances.
You’realive! Thank
goodness!
Percy,your poor
face isbleeding.Let me--
No.I’mfine.
Whatabout our
captive? Didyou see what
happenedto him?
It looksas though
our interrogeedid not fair
as well.
Heperished, but
not before hegave me
information.
He saidhe wanted to
help because…Harmony was
so kind tohim.
What didhe say, Percy?Did he have anidea of where
the boyis?
No, buthe did say
we could losethe Boogeyman’sarmy by entering
The Jungle tothe east. They
would betoo afraid
tofollow.
Whywould
they beafraid?
Patience,Max, we have
been through alot today. We are
lucky to bealive.
fightingthrough that
army againis not anoption.
and Whatif those bigthings come
back?
It issettled
then. followme...
andwhat about
the boy?
Y-yes.I--
Well,this is rather
unpleasant. I thoughtgetting into the Junglewould provide us with
some relief, but Itis just as wet
under here.
rufruf!rufruf!
“…a safe haven lies just overthat bridge in The Jungle. ”
“Trust me, I will notlead us astray. ”
I don’tthink I haveever beenout in the
rain. It is
beautiful.
Untilyou rust,
ofcourse.
Percy!
I thought Iwas just
stating theobvious.
Well,regardless,
it feelswonderful.
I hatebeingwet.
Well, tobe perfectly
frank, youcould use a
shower.You reek.
This comingfrom a pig,Max. Take it
with a huuugegrain of
salt.
What’sthat
supposedto mean,
duck?
If itwalks like
a pig, looks likea pig and talks likea pig, it probablysmells like a pig
too, Percy. That’sabsurd! I havea phenomenal
sense of smell,Quackers.
I promise you,I do not
stink.
Nowwhat?
She’sburning up.
Her wound… Find
shelter forone thing. She
has not properlyrested sincebeing shot.
Harmony,what canwe do?
Do notfret...
…I shallbe fine, my
dear comrades.I just need a
moment torest.
Wasthat a
smile? Shemust be
sick.
You’regoing to need
more than a moment.
I’mnot surestopping
is the bestcourse of
action.
Max?Scout,
Quackers andI will find a
cave, anything,to keep us out
of thisrain.
Someplacebetter
than thisold tree.
Thankyou…
Jester?What is
happening? Max
is seekingdry lodging forus. After that
we’ll make a fireto get warm.
We areall exhausted,so a rest was
in order.
Liar. Ithank you for
it, though.
Someoneapproaches.
Itmust be
maxwell. Whatgrand tidings
do youbring?
Princess!
“...be quick.”
Wehave
littlechoice,
Percival.
Humanswho capture
our kindmust die.
Whodid we
capture? Thecowboy? We
meant noharm.
No!The pig!He‘s your
meal, isn‘the!?
Thethought may
cross our mindsfrom time to
time.
Heaven’sno! We mean noharm to anyone!This is not thetime for jokes,
Jester.
It isnever not
time for jokes,m‘lady.
Percival,come out of
hiding! Tell themyou are our friend,not our meal for
goodness’sakes!
I amhardly dinner.My companions
would never eat me.This is a simple
misunderstanding. Now,please, putyour claws
away.
Trespassingin our kingdom
comes at aprice. We are notthe humans’ pets
anymore.
What’sgoing onhere?
CLANG!CLANG!
Getaway from
them!Now!

Stayback or
