Episode 28 - The Saga of Ale-Hood

Published: Jan. 16, 2019, 4:25 p.m.

b'In this episode, Thorhall Ale-Hood burns down his woodlands making charcoal. Unfortunately for him, he also burns down the neighboring woods that belong to 6 of Iceland\'s most powerful chieftains. The woods aren\'t terribly important to them, but when Iceland\'s bully chieftains see a financial opportunity, they take it. This short saga tells the story of Ale-Hood\'s attempt to defend himself against the chieftains. If you liked Bandamanna Saga, then you\'ll love The "Saga" of Ale-Hood. It\'s a quick one, but it\'s full of laughs.\\nThanks, as always, to Matt Smith for another original drawing. This one depicts Thorkel Fringe, one of the saga\'s bad guys, in a compromising position.
