"They Call Him Phlegm."

"Agent Phlegm uses the sound of a pop-gun to terrify and belittle the enemy."

"The Bitter Fruit of Cruel Malevolence"

The best defense against an Apple Bonker is a steadfast dedication to the S.T.E.V.E. cause and a rocket launcher.

"Premature amputation: With gunplay""

"Agent Jehovah's Witness battles on. Meanwhile, Agent Rhubarb realizes that his hand has been gnawed off by something."

"Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"

Agent Abcess enjoys a moment of quiet reflection.

"Agent Chobos Holds the Line"

Preliminary drawing for a proposed statue to honor the 'never say die' and 'too dumb to quit' spirit of S.T.E.V.E.'s valiant agents.

"Youthful Exuberance"

"Agents Eggplant and Lampshade slay the enemy with conviction."

"Harlequin of the Blue Apocalypse"

I'm calling this Blue Meanies week (or S.T.E.V.E. week, if you want to get a "Battle of Bull Run/Battle of Manassas" thing going).

If you don't know what S.T.E.V.E. is, that probably means you aren't ready to learn.

If you don't know what Blue Meanies are, you really should watch this.


Fear the Clown. And keep some extra mayonnaise packets handy. You'll need 'em.
