Here we are again with the impetuous Lord, whose owners declawed him, putting him at a right disadvantage when trying to climb trees to evade rabid predators, reliable Patch and the somewhat dozy Elsie.
In this issue they soon learn it isn’t just the local wildlife that has the rabies, it’s cats too. Everything, everywhere is against them, and after them, until they meet Jonas and Scratch who have always lived in in these woods. Scratch soon falls victim but with Jonas maybe they have a chance.
Lord is convinced he’s seen areas he recognised while hiding up in the trees, so they set of in that direction. Meanwhile humans from some agency are now in the woods with orders to shoot all four legged creatures they come across.
Unlike most animal-related comics this isn’t a mini-series but a normal ongoing title. I’m not sure I’ll be able to cope with the tension!
