Even Grues Get Full

Inspired by the classic text adventure game Zork, this single-issue comic from O'Reilly Media offers a playful, one-off glimpse into the life of a grue—the iconic, man-eating monster that lurks in the dark. Written and illustrated by J. D. "Illiad" Frazer, best known for his long-running tech-industry strip User Friendly, it's a niche, affectionate joke for fans of both gaming and geek culture. While brief, it stands as a charming, standalone artifact from the early 2000s, expanding a beloved game's lore with warmth and humor.
