The Comic Tales of Brennan and Riz

Issue 149

You agreed all the same

#Comic #riztherogue
Riz is scrubbing dishes, moaning all the while, questioning how he ended up doing this. He remembers that he was complaining to Brennan about being broke, so in turn, Brennan offers him £5 to wash up, a deal the rat readily accepts. With the memory restored, Riz curses his past self, lamenting the fact he didn't try for more money.

#Comic #riztherogue
Riz announces that the Holy Hand Grenade he's holding will solve their bunny problem but it fails to detonate. This leaves Riz to complain about the lack of an earth shattering ka-boom. Brennan inspects the bottom of another Grenade, noting that they say made by Riz and that all explosives are sold separately.

Running to escape time
How insane
Humankind

Burning
For what?
A dime
Chained to a clock
Tick-tock

One #number after another
All in Death’s circle
Line up
Fill your cup
Life starts
Uh, where?
A place few ever go
That breath called Now

"This Fae run diner is packed, the lady up front told me to take a #number and wait to be called. Shame we're 42 and 3 was just called," I said.
"Dis is outrageous! Don't dey know who I am!" Riz yelled.
"Clearly they don't and that's a good thing!"

Riz impatiently asks what Brennan can see through his binoculars, when the latter is able to focus, he spots a white rabbit surrounded by bones. Upon seeing this, Brennan wisely announces that he's heading home, while Riz, looking through the binoculars himself, thinks he recognises the rabbit. (As he should as its based on the infamous rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail!)

Of all the #numbers, my favorite is 𝑖. I mean, π is cool and all, but 𝑖 flat out tells reality to suck it. 𝑖 is a rebel, a sunglasses and leather jacket wearing badass that doesn't give a damn about the rules.

'Think of a #number between 1 & 10, Gabe.'
'Why, Pixie?'
'Don't ruin it. Just choose.'
'No. I don't trust you.'
'What? Talk about paranoid. It's a harmless number.'
'Last time "harmless" made me forget an entire week.'
'Talk about holding a grudge.'
'I hold experience.'

"I'm sick of dis erasure!" Riz protested.
"What erasure?" I stupidly asked.
"Da erasure of all da #myths bout me! I 'ad all sorts of cultures talkin bout me!"
"I think some of the Fae told me some of them, weren't they all bad?"
"Publicity is publicity!"

The myths of winter
are revealed slowly,

emptiness, stillness,
darkness, harshness,

but skies fill and fall
in the canon of snow.

"Riz, I can smell that cocktail from here! What's in it!" I asked.
"Rum, vodka, whisky, absinthe...." Riz replied while sat upside down, tail dropped over his face.
"Did you #measure it out properly?"

"Explains it all."

Brennan finds Riz looking up at the planet Mars with a telescope. Riz explains that he's just checking on Mars to make sure they weren't invading. Brennan naturally asks why they would and Riz is forced to reveal he owes them money, having borrowed under Brennan's name because he wasn't an idiot.
