Space Force: Pirates Squadron 10
"Like Seal Team 6, Only BIGLY SPACIER"
Way back in 21st Century Earth, a new sixth United States military branch was established and was destined to become SPACE FORCE . It is not known which administration created this new force (history records were lost in the great magnetic server storm of 2087 ), but it is known that the only survivors of the original force were an elite band of heroes known as the PIRATES SQUADRON 10 , based in Key West FL.
The BN Critters Collection Sha-Boobies! and other such things
Inspired by the online world of Jimmy Buffett fans ... yes, Parrotheads ... the BN Critters comic strip has become a ridiculously stupid amount of ongoing fun for its faithful readers.
Living in the seaside town of Critterville Cove on the Island Republic of Critter Key (IRoCK), the BN Critters spend much of their time in Captain P's Tiki Bar and Surf Shop drinking beer and interacting with other island inhabitants, many of whom are based upon the most loyal readers of the comic strip.
Since March of 2008, this intrepid group of island misfits .... Duckett, Poof, L.A., Torque and Anonymouse .... have meandered through a dizzying array of tropical, topical and comical pop culture references and celebrity encounters. More than 700 comic strips and over 5 years of adventures are included in this comprehensive collection. Follow The Critters as they become accidental Trop Rock superstar musicians and along the way cross the path of Jimmy Buffett, members of the Coral Reefer Band, Mr. "T", Oprah Winfrey, and dozens of other celebrities in ridiculous spoofs of James Bond films, Caddyshack, Rocky, The Twilight Zone and more.
Participating readers often find that they have been quoted in the comic strip or even better, have been included as a comic strip character thus becoming an *official stripper*.
This is considered to be quite an honor. Go figure.
Oh! And you'll learn the meaning of Sha-Boobies! The ultimate superpower.
