Voir Vic the Viking, Vol. 3 - Episode 6

The vikings have gone without Vic on their voyage because he's got the chicken pox. Ylva has rubbed an ugly grey lotion all over his face which makes him look ghastly. The vikings are attacked by Sven the Terrible at sea and taken prisoners. As Vic’s spots are recovering, a homing pigeon arrives with news of the capture. Vic has an idea and catches up with the drakkar thanks to his seals. Vic climbs on board and uses the ugly grey paste to trick the pirates into thinking that the vikings have brought an outbreak of the plague onto the ship. Frightened that they will be contaminated, the pirates set the vikings free!
