In Brief: Our heroes versus the evils of socialism
Sumamry:
Hermy and Nilson arrive in the valley of Loxox.
Arriving
at the castle they learn that their the first outsiders to enter the
valley in a hundred years. King Loxo of the Loxos decrees that
henceforth the travelers will become their honored guests and live a
life of luxury.
As
they enjoy the king’s hospitality, he explains that the Loxos live in
the castle, while the Doxos work in the field. Many years ago the two
groups were constantly at war, but they found a way to permanently stop
the fighting. Nilson say that the Doxos all becoming servants doesn’t
seem fair, the king starts to explain that there’s more to it, but he’s
interrupted by a messenger bringing urgent news.
The Doxos are revolting!
Nilson
and Hermy run, but end up taking a wrong turn and find themselves
trapped in a tower. Nilson tries to lower Hermy down using some curtains
as rope, but it’s too short to reach the ground (just barely too short,
but Nilson wanted Hermy to tell if he could touch the ground).
Eventually
the pair are able to find an open gate and happily escape with lives.
Meanwhile King Loxo happily gives up his crown to the Doxo leader.
They’ll live in the castle and the Loxos will work in the field….until
next month’s revolt when they switch again.
King Doxo wonders where their new friends went and concludes that some people just make lousy guests.
Notes
- The story continues from Usagi Yojimbo Color Special #2. For a long time this was our heroes last adventure, but after 21 years they made their triumphant return in Dark Horse Presents (2011) #30
Review:
You know Hermy and Nilson do run away and leave their new friend to die at the hands of an angry mob,
They are pretty lousy friends.
