Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Duckman receives a letter offering Ajax a chance to go to a boarding school for gifted children. After visiting Ajax’s current school, Duckman decides that Ajax must go to the boarding school. The family begins to miss Ajax’s presence. Cornfed decodes one of Ajax’s letter’s and they go to the school to bring Ajax back, but it turns out the school is a front for Duckman’s arch nemesis, “King” Chicken.
Our Take
A surprisingly sweet episode by Duckman standards, with the family genuinely missing Ajax once he ships off to the gifted school. The King Chicken reveal is fun, though the villain plot itself is thinner than the emotional stuff around it. Worth a watch for the character moments, even if the mystery half is pretty slight.
