Now that we have that out of the way ......
"Just who are these characters and critters that inhabit Critterville?".
"Hey Bob! How can I become a stripper?".
"I'm confused, is the pink hog with the man boobies Larry?".
Very good questions, all of 'em, and I don't know the right answer to any of 'em even though I'm writing this strip.
The original critters were all nameless, until you guys gave our valiant little duck friend
the name "DUCKETT" (spelled with two T's dambit!), which just seemed to fit. At this point, none of our other characters or critters
have been given an "official name", but I expect that will change over time.
Heck, I'm still trying to figure out all of their individual personalities.
Some of them even seem to have dual-personas
which is confusing even me. 
Many of the characters are simply composits of all of us and yet none of us (does that make sense?).
Other characters are beginning to appear and even have certain defined jobs down in Critterville Cove
Imagine that!
Keep a sharp eye out for the subtle and not-so-subtle references to BNers
Many of the current and future characters and critters are inspired by many of you.
I'll leave it to you to figure out who and recognize yourselves.
How can you become a stripper?
Well, that might work, but don't count on it. No, the best way to become a stripper is to contribute!
Read and most importantly post, comment, contribute (heck I'll take
these things) too. Suggest ideas for future storylines. Tell me when the strip works and when it doesn't.
I'm bound to have a few stinkers,
particular when I write something simply because it amuses me (I'm easily amused).
But the best way of all to get my attention, is to promote the strip, let's drum up both readership
and (most importantly) participation.
Tell the Noobies that they are welcomed
.How can you do that best? Maybe add one of these to your signature line:
Custom Stripper Signatures available upon request (helps to have made a contribution or appearance in the strip).
Thanks!
