Forget Bigfoot — “real” ninjas caught in the wild!
We could have run a post about that fake bigfoot story from last week, seeing how the dead sasquatch turned out to be nothing more than an old gorilla costume filled with old socks and rotten meat. But then we thought, what the hell’s so unusual about that? (We’ve got half a dozen old costumes filled with a wide variety of rotting crap out in the D18 garage.)
But we knew we HAD TO post some mention of this story, in which a couple of real life ninjas were caught trying to bust up a local drug ring. Sure, these two shmucks may have watched one too many Martin Lawrence-dressed-as-old-woman-cop movies to be inspired to such vigilante tactics, but they showed heart while doing it. But then again, can you still call yourself a ninja if you get caught?
)Some D18 praise from across the pond
Still not sold on the Division 18: The Union of Novelty Costumed Performers trade paperback? Well, former Marvel UK editor and the man behind the curtain at Down the Tubes and ROK Comics, John Freeman, had this to say about our TP preview:
“I really enjoyed this. It certainly puts new meaning into ‘costumed heroes’(!) The pace and script are strong, the humour evident throughout and the characterisation a delight.”
How can you argue with this guy? He’s British! (You can tell by the way he misspells “humor” and “characterization.”)

Disruption? We sent him there with a scholarship!!!
This poor schlub in the pecker suit got busted for allegedly “disrupting” a graduation. You’d be excited too if you’d just earned an advanced degree in “Novelty Costume Theory.”

…this is ridiculous. Sugar Bush the Superstar Squirrel?! Really?!! I’m pretty sure Mimi once filed a complaint against Snake for calling her “Sugar Bush.”
Someone’s getting hit with a baseball bat over this.
