Synopsis: War has been declared between Gorgonia and Farfallonia, and their armies stand poised for battle. But when General Smudge gives the order to attack, his soldiers simply sit down. ‘It’s too dangerous out there,’ they protest. ‘Someone could get hurt.’ With traditional combat no longer an option, the entire concept of warfare must be reimagined. New, harmless weaponry is devised – ensuring that no one is injured while still allowing General Smudge to pursue his dreams of military glory. Though often veering into slapstick comedy, this satirical tale carries a deeper message beneath the humor, challenging the very nature of war itself.
