Meeting Of The Minds5 viewsRoco Poco and Garbly Greeb come up on Watley's porch (friendly, but uninvited). Watley is already in a black mood. Roco tells Watley that Garbley has saved their town and is their hero. Roco says Watley has obviously fallen into desperate times without Garbley to manage things for him. Roco is sending his sister, Slube, to Watley (as a potential wife) to get Watley straightened out. Watley is outraged. Garbly feels complimented. Roco remains his happy self.
