#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.

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.

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!)

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.

Brennan spies Riz’s arms sticking out of a box on the doorstep. He asks the rat if he tried to post himself again. Riz replies that it almost worked except his arms were stuck out. Brennan then asks why that is abd Riz responds that he had to seal the box somehow (adding that Brennan is an idiot). Brennan tells Riz that he can get out of the predicament himself and slams the door shut. Later that night, Riz is still stuck in the box..
