Absolutely Epic Storytelling By Rob From Cyanide & Happiness


Nothing gets the reader going like a good old fashioned "choose your own adventure" story. This particular adventuresome tale by Rob from Cyanide & Happiness is as well written as it is comically absurd. You've got to hand it to Rob for really keeping the readers on their toes with all the twists we witness with a very loyal and helpful, Tim Cruise. That dragon never stood a chance.
