Soapy’s On A Mission

Soapy D. Clown

On the one year anniversary of Soapy D. Clown getting hit by a paint truck before Soapy D. Clown, he finally got brave enough to reveal his tramp-scarred face in public again.

Of course he was forced out by the banks because his wife left him, his invisible dog bit him and ran away, and he started hallucinating this talking skunk that claims it's an angel and want to run for president, having Soapy manage his campaign. Soapy doesn’t want to be involved in politics.

After the Skunk not-so-fondly named “Suds” the list of characters, including from the underworld started trying to as for advice, and keep Soapy on his toes and figuring out life. if you want to read more about how Soapy nearly escaped death, check out his about page.

Gregori Mouse

How one of the original three-blind-mice ever found Soapy is a story all by itself. Soapy was sound asleep at the bus stop bench, when he got hit by this mouse carrying a blind stick. He introduced himself as Grigory Mouse and wanted Soapy’s autograph, mistaking him for the famous tramp clown Emmett Kelly.

Trying to clear up the confusion, Soapy explained that he’s not Weary Willy, Grigori’s persistance became dogmatic, even striking him repeatedly with his white cane until Soapy relented, scribbling Emmett on the page.

The Mouse armed with his white cane has been around Soapy ever sense continually “asking” Soapy to fetch other “famous” people’s autographs. Soapy hates the mouse’s cane.

Suds Z. Skunk

Suds first appeared on the scene just after Soapy’s accident with the paint truck, where he was disfigured into his tramp clown persona for life. Soapy was sure that the talking skunk was a hallucination, making a mockery of him because he also was black and white.

Suds seemed to be uniquely qualified to get on Soapy’s nerves, and Soapy isn’t for certain that he is even real. But hallucinations sensed by all five of the senses, make it difficult to decipher reality from fiction. Coupled with the talking skunk’s claim that he’s an angel sent from heaven to help Soapy through life, of which Soapy finds much amusement from, asking why God would send a smelly old skunk that most people won't even go near.

Angelic Suds Z. Skunk

Suds as an Angel, who would have thunk it? Soapy has only seen Suds in his angelic form once, and still doubts that he is an angel because who can trust a hallucination? Suds, tries and tries to prove to Soapy he really is angelic, and this is an ongoing debate between them.

Regardless, Soapy secretly wonders why Suds just doesn’t give him money to survive so he can stop sleeping at the bus stop, and have a better life. I mean an angel can do that, right? But Soapy hasn’t ever asked why Suds doesn’t.

Campaign Suds Z. Skunk

Suds Z. Skunk is an amazing politician. While promising to run a clean campaign, no one can find any dirt on him. It is the first politician in history to keep their word. It only took a skunk to run to show the rest if them that it can be done.

Suds put NWC (non-wildlife citizens) on notice that the way forward to peace with the animals is voting rights for all animal kind. While both the senate and house are against the inclusion of animals to vote, Suds believes he is speaking for the benefit of all. Democrats are angry that snakes would be an excluded species for voting rights.

“For too long human-kind has brought devastation to our wildernesses, made species extinct, and not even given animal kind a say.” Suds touted vehemently with no regards to his own safety, “Fairness and dignity for the forest land and creatures are the only way forward, we deserve a say and a vote, because we’re more intelligent than a lot of congresspersons that claim to represent people now.”

Rayne Z. Parriot

Parriot clowns are beautiful in their never give up on love efforts. Rayne Z. Clown is no exception to this rule. She has been after Soapy to take her hand in marriage for years now. We all know that Soapy isn’t quick on making good decisions that will benefit him.

Rayne finds Soapy’s melancholic ways appealing, and believe she is well suited to assist Soapy with all his challenges and interesting issues such as the skunk hallucination she sometimes can actually smell. Unlike Soapy though, Rayne Z Pierriot actually sees Suds for who he is, and the reality of what he is.

Rayne has been all over the world touring, and finally found her home pursuing her interests and her tramp with relentless fervor. Through the years she has proven that she has the patience that it will take for Soapy to see her as she desires.

Screwtape

The self–grandizing, egotistical attitude of the underworld’s “master-of-disguises’ Screwtape is always scheming new ways to continue further the corruption of mankind. Usually he says can claim success by pointing to mankind’s evil deeds, reported by many of his televised minions on the evening news.

Because he is officially banned from earthly realms, Screwtape wears disguises and fake accents and voices that never work on the Underworld Teleconferencing Inter-dimensional System (U.T.I.S.) in order to thwart the authorities, and communicate with his earthly minions. Especially his nephew Wormwood. Though as of late, Wormwood seems to be rebelling due to the influence of a certain Soapy D. Clown.

Screwtape, having to report to the leadership of the underworld with corruption results (including the big guy himself), must show his effectiveness of corrupting humanity, making peace impossible for anyone on a global or individual level. His board reviews must have positively negative ratings in order to continue his reign as chief lieutenant of the underworld. Screwtape enjoys his position of being at the top of the bottom, so he puts an extreme amount of pressure on his minions to produce ethically and morally repugnant results. Especially his nephew Wormwood, which is not doing as well as he had hoped.

Wormwood

Dispatched from the Underworld by his uncle Screwtape with a mission to corrupt humanity, Wormwood finds himself increasingly disillusioned. It’s not that he harbors affection for humans – far from it – but he can’t help admiring what they create. One taste of marshmallow soufflé, and Wormwood is utterly captivated.

This unexpected enthusiasm for earthly pleasures greatly frustrates Uncle Screwtape, who insists that the eternal rewards of human corruption far outweigh the fleeting delights of sugary desserts. He attempts to guide his furry, wormlike nephew through sinister mentorship, urging him to stay focused on their infernal objectives.

Complicating matters, Screwtape’s only means of communication with Wormwood is via the Underworld Teleconferencing Inter-dimensional System (U.T.I.S.). Meanwhile, Wormwood’s growing friendship with Soapy D. Clown – a melancholic, chaotic, tramp of a clown from the earthly realm – only strengthens Wormwood’s reluctance to carry out Screwtape’s mission. Together, their misadventures spark a series of whimsical and rebellious events on Earth that threaten to turn the underworld’s grand schemes upside down.
