Grouping For Looks is a page-by-page retelling of the Looking For Group saga through the lens of a mirror universe where Cale is a goateed tyrant and Richard is a holy soul trying to set him on a good path.
EXT. FOREST – DAY
Krunch, military pressing the maw of the dragon’s caved-in skull open, walks its lifeless tongue like it’s a red carpet and this is award night. The normally cocky Benny bends a knee to the little killer cow man.
KRUNCH
You’ve failed again, Benn’Joon.
BENNY
I know.
Krunch snorts.
BENNY
Sir! I know, sir. How did you find me, sir?

Krunch’s shoulders tighten and he forms two three-fingered fists as he glowers at the undead redeemer.
KRUNCH
I tire of your boldness, stranger.
Richard squares up to Krunch with balled fists of his own, towering over the two-foot hoofed warrior.
RICHARD
I’m. Richard!
