"The Amulet (in which we finally learn the name of the Sage's dog...)"

Epic #34, December 1987 ($1.00)

Poem:
"Two witches gave a task to Groo-
And didn't dream what he would do-
They didn't know, as off he went-
He could be that incompetent-
But soon they learned that Groo could be-
A source of great catastrophe-
But if they know he's stupid then-
Why do they call him back again?
For Groo has neither brains nor riches-
(Also true of certain witches.)"

Moral:
"Even the most powerful being
is at the mercy of the weakest."
