To Hel they have gone on a noble cause
A mission that gives brave men pause
A god of thunder and a tin can knight
Have you ever seen a more incongruous sight?
To challenge Ms. Hel for Balder and Boody
They seek to fulfill a solemn duty
Will they succeed in their mission so grave
Or will they be the ones that need to be saved?
And oh if they are captured, what can I say.
But let us all hope for that golden day.
When Balder is safe and Boody is too.
But I think those Knights, know just what to do.
So strive forth retrieve, what is rightfully yours.
And if Ms Hell refuses, then begin to wage wars.
So go forth with god speed and blessings to you.
Your adventures are read by our comic crew.
And we will read on as your adventures unfold.
And we won’t stop until the story is whole.
Sorry, I read the book once and didn’t remember Fezzik’s identity until cross-checking; and I never saw the movie. (For the uninitiated, we speak of The Princess Bride.)
So if there’s an in-joke here, I’d be among the last here to spot it. Alas.

This rhyming may have come at a bad time.

Why are we seeing this from just behind and a little above Hel’s head?
The boys may soon find their rhyming act sickening, if Hel is not amused!

Justin, great dunce cap flag in first panel.
Dudley, don’t make her angry, or there’ll be Hel to pay!

The diplomat and the solider… a “Motley Crue” if Hel has ever encountered one.

A godling and a tin can. Setting aside the irony of declaring war on death, you’re going to need a bigger army.

Makes me think of Alley Oop and his pal Foozy, who always speaks in rhyme. Very cool story, thanks Justin!
Wonderwarthog and Silent Knight, you guys are great! It’s things like this that make the comments section worth reading.

Hmm. If Karma were there, would she talk in haiku? :)

No more rhyming now, I mean it!

Fezzik has to be one of the great characters from fantasy films. I find it inconceivable if you’ve missed Justin’s joke.

I only saw the movie twice. Dang, I hate missing things!

Dudley’s flag makes it look like he’s blushing…
“You have a great gift for rhyme.” “Yes, yes, some of the time.”

Has Hel been shmoozing with Johnnie Cochran again?

“Are there rocks ahead?” “If there are, we’ll all be dead.”
Just had to toss in my Princess Bride “two cents” here. =]
