GRUBBYBEARD vs BIG SMELLY ZEKE

When Grubbybeard, the scourge of the seven seas, and Big Smelly Zeke, the meanest desperado in the old west, both lay claim to a town rich with treasure, the result is an epic tale of bad versus evil. Add to the mix an incompetent first-mate named Slackjaw and a bad-tempered horse named Night-Soil and there’s no telling what will happen!

Grubbybeard vs Big Smelly Zeke details the colossal confrontation between a malevolent pirate and a cantankerous cowboy (both of whom smell pretty darn bad) as they each lay claim to a town full of treasure. This ferocious fable features a wild cast of crazy characters and plenty of smelly humor!
