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.

Cale sits upon an overturned bucket, holding court like a philosopher poet at a rap session. 

CALE

No one is listening to him. Sooba’s there, poised all cat like. That is to say, she’s licking herself. 

CALE

KRUNCH (off screen)
“Don’t eat the meal the poisoner made to apologize for poisoning your soup.”

Cale looks up at the ramparts, where Krunch, Richard, and Benny have taken up guard posts. 

CALE

KRUNCH

RICHARD

CALE

Richard jumps down from the wall and runs past Cale. Cale watches him go. 

Richard returns with a handful of carrots. 

CALE
What are those for?

CALE
But they’re-

RICHARD
For four ponies!
