Worship The Comic

**Disclaimer: All images have been lifted from Sluggy Freelance. I didn't draw these. I'm not that talented. Not even for stick figures.**

Welcome to the world of Sluggy Freelance. Hopefully you'll get out with your life.

What is Sluggy Freelance, might you ask? Well, it's this really nifty comic that you can only find here. Just net-based. For now.

**update** Nifty--I'm officially listed as a tribute site. Wow. Now I've got to make the site a little niftier to distinguish it from any other Sluggy Tribute Sites. That's going to take some doing.

Cast of Characters

Torg is one of the two main characters in this little strip. He designs web pages for a living, and is generally the more luckless of the two. He has a secretary named Aylee, who is great, except that she eats humans. He also has a pet mini-lop named Bun Bun, a really mean-natured rabbit. (Ow! Hey! Bun Bun! Stop! Arrrgh!!) His best friend is...

Riff. Riff is a creative genius, and builds really neat stuff, like the Stakeinator, and the interdimensional flux agitator which sent Torg to the Dimension of Pain. During the summer, we found out that Riff(ington) is the progeny of..

Dr. Lorna. She is a talk radio hostess who really enjoys 'helping' people by yelling and belittling them over the air. An employee of hers is...

Gwynn. She is the on-again, off-again girlfriend of Riff. Right now, the relationship is off-again because she found out that Riff asked her best friend out on a date. That best friend is...

Zoe. The heroine of the comic strip, Zoe has no luck at all. In the first strip Zoe appeared in, she got trampled twice, a sprained wrist, and beaten up by Bun Bun. Later, she got slimed by an exploding cocoon. Exploding out of that cocoon was...

Aylee. She and Riff deeply mistrust each other. Riff doesn't like Aylee because he saw her eat a whole spaceship full of people in her home dimension. Aylee is afraid of Riff because of his really big guns. When Aylee first came to our dimension, she got into this huge fight with...

Bun Bun. Bun Bun is a mini-lop that Torg brought home to be the cute little animal in the strip. Bun Bun is anything but cute. He totes around a switchblade (fear the sound *ka-klick*) and loves Baywatch. He also despises telemarketers and kills them whenever possible. Bun Bun's best friend is a ferret named...

Kiki. Kiki is, well, a ferret. Easily distracted. Even though she was left to die with an 8-year old by Bun Bun, Kiki was able to forgive and forget. She lives with Riff because she was kicked out by her previous owner..

Sam. Sam is just an idiot. He had an incurable crush on Zoe, until he married..

Valerie. She used to work in a flower shop before she met Sam and married him. Eventually, she and Zoe would really hate each other because Valerie started having a thing for...

Torg! Will the cycle never end?

So now that you know a little bit about the Wonderful World of Sluggy, go to http://www.sluggy.com and let yourself be amazed at the niftiness of Sluggy. Don't make me sic Bun Bun on you. That won't be pretty. But if you decide to ignore my warning and not visit Sluggy, then expect this scene to happen:

And we don't want that to happen, now do we?

A Sluggy Story
Or
How I Converted My Teacher

One day, I was in class writing a newspaper excercise for my newswriting class and reading Sluggy at the same time. Since the document was in Word, and the teacher wanted it sent over the web, I attached the excercise to an email. Under the influence of Reaak, the text of the email was as follows: Time to die, Nerd-Boy! *Ka-Klick* The next day, along with my graded assignment, I recieved an email from the teacher asking me what I meant by the above statement. Now realizing that it /could/ technically be construed as a threat, I explained that it was simply a catchphrase every Sluggite knows and fears, and provided the website http://www.sluggy.com so he could take a look for himself. After leaving my email alone for the weekend, I checked it Monday and read his reply, which said in part that he appreciated my response and had taken a look at the site, and that it did look pretty cool.

Another Sluggite is born. Wow.
