Crock, 10/25/24

Of all the characters in the comics, few are subject to as much indignity as Crock's Grossie. I mean, forgetting the fact that she's named "Grosse" and married to a guy named "Maggot," we must also keep in mind that she's a colonial subject, and while she's usually depicted as fairly fiesty and independent, she is also, like her nation, under the heel of the French and must obey their whims. Not sure what's worse for her here: that she had to participate in the operation of this sham restaurant that's been set up as part of an elaborate bit about what a bad cook she is, or that she's probably going to be killed by her own countrymen when they storm the fort, just because she's in the way.
