Shore Leave

Shore Leave: Master Chief on Holiday is a short six-frame comic strip by Paul Russel that was included in the Halo Graphic Novel alongside Bungie's Bullshit Bluster, a section in which Bungie writes about the production of the HGN. The story depicted is of Master Chief on shore leave and having a miserable time dealing with mundane matters such as getting the morning paper, searching for a parking space, and getting groceries. While most of the stories in the HGN have serious content if non-canon imagery due to artistic license, Shore Leave is completely non-canon and created for humorous purposes.
