One of my all-time favourite Peter Laird side-stories. ::

GRUNTS #1 :: "THE LESSON" - A TALE OF THE TRICERATON MARINES pg.1 (( 1987 )) ** For your convenience in reading, i’ve given the entire story it’s very own set on the t2z – flickr. **

During a rest break from combat in the dirty barracks within the ZOGNEB ARZAK SYSTEM the overzealous ZAD and a small band of his fellow, young Triceraton Marines are gloating about their strength & might and the weakness of their mammalian enemies.

Ol’ Sergeant Zule soon puts a stop to the brave but naive bands’ smugness with a tale about when he was young Triceraton Marine and a vicious encounter & the hard lesson learned from facing an enemy mammalian URSID.
