Billy is a cynical, surly, and mistrusting Cockney. He hates working at Gristocorp, can’t stand the Rusties - and doesn’t even like himself very much.

Billy is blind in one eye, has a permanently runny nose, and his conversation is littered with swear words. But, hey, no one’s perfect - and Billy’s living proof of that.

Forced to put in ludicrously long hours in Gristocorp’s repair-shop, Billy labors non-stop to keep the Rusties going.

Billy's story about a potato resembling President Bob has angered the Rusties. They want Billy to tackle more serious issues.

Billy reluctantly agrees to print a story attacking Gristocorp’s top selling product.

‘Glube Sucks! Just Say No!’ is a sellout - and the Rusties are demanding more stories like it.

Gristweed, however, wants to destroy Billy Scruggs, before the Rusties start believing what they read.
