Hence: Anything that removes a head from its body is considered a Vorpal whatever

Now we all know what a Killer Rabbit is, right?. Correct, a Vorpal Bunny.

You're smart. Go ahead and play with yourself for a bit, and when your ready, we'll go on.

     Let's see, where were we? Oh ya. A 'Vorpal Bunny' is an action figure / mascot that was issued / released for the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The founders of the Michigan Vorpal Guild are hard core Renaissance Festival addicts and the whole Holy Grail thing just sort of goes along with the fantasy of what the festival is all about. Right. If your still with me, then image seeing one of those little action figures at festival one year, that someone else had discovered and brought along, and thinking it was neet and all that, the wife bought me one for Christmas in 2002. Myself not being of the main stream, decided to attire the bunny in garb for the festival. And of course over the course of doing this, the bunny decided that Punker was his name, and that was that.
      Ok, so here we are, all rough and tough in my armour, with Punker harnessed to me, opening day, 2003. As amazing as it is, people found the idea intriguing, and the next week 2 more bunnies showed up, each created by 2 different individuals, that didn't mention it to the other, each in its own garb, with its own personality and name. The Vorpal were born.
      That year was fun, the bunnies multiplied and life was good. Unfortunately, after festival ended, so did the life of the Vorpal Bunny. It seemed as if it was destine to fall into the cracks of time and forgotten by festival goers. 2004 was a lonely year for the few bunnies that were roaming the festival grounds. Of course, that year was a rather heavy Viking year, and since we all know that Vikings have a bunny pelt fetish, that would explain their absence that year. A few did come around, but the pickings were slim for bunnies in 2004.
      But, with the sudden inspiration (brought on by numerous Guinness) the founder created The Michigan Vorpal Guild, a Yahoo group, in the early winter of 2004. The group was small, consisting of the bunnies and their keepers that first appeared in 2003. But soon, as the group coleste and mingled with others of the non-Vorpal sect, others realized the benefits of having a Vorpal. We'll go into that later. Anyway, by bringing the few together into a single 'warren', the group was able to share ideas with others of a like mind, thus creating a guild that is founded on having fun, and all that.
      What does that have to do with the VB Warren cartoon and all that. Well, the founder was going through some tough economical / political times, and after enjoying a few, well, ok, alot of Guinness, realized that it was about time that he shouted out into the world what he thought of their 'whatever'. The thing that pushed him over the edge was George Bush and the way he has handled his term.
      So, taking pen in hand, and having been drawing things since forever, and somehow deciding to use Punker as the main character, VB Warren was born. On June, 2005 I posted my first cell on http;//www.mconsystems.com (my personal web site) and it was real basic. But who cares. It was out there. I just threw a stone out into the world, let's see what ripples it produces. Then Michael Jackson and that whole thing really yanked me (every pun intended). So the next cell was created. Ok, now I realized that if I intended to be serious, I had to commit to doing this once a week, at least, for people to notice. Bam. Time to find material to draw about.
      In the spring of 2005, I discovered Warren #1 at Media play, and home he came. Warren decided he didn't need garb. Ok. Spring turned into summer, and the Guthrie's decided to go camping. So off to the wife's favorite spot, the Pinery. Of course, Warren had to go. There was no way he was letting the humans go camping without him to watch over them. Besides, Mike was looking for inspiration, and figured Warrens presences would help.
      With camp made, we decided to go off riding on our bicycles, so I jokingly placed Warren on top of the camping supplies and said "Watch the camp for us, Warren." The wife laughed, said I was nuts, and we rode away. Now there is one thing about the Pinery I forgot to mention, and that is the indigenous life forms are raccoons. They rule the park at night, with hundreds roaming about. Well, this being in the afternoon, only a few are up and about, but of course they had to come by our camp and see if we were foolish enough to leave anything of interest out. NOT. Mike, being the avid camper, wouldn't think of it. So, from what we have surmised from the muddy foot prints on the coolers, there were about three different raccoons checking us out, and with Warren sitting on top of one of the coolers, and in their way, he got smacked out of the way, about 10 ft. from where we left him. When we got back and saw the muddy prints on the coolers and Warren laying sprawled out no where near where we left him, we both started busting out laughing.
      It was so funny. To funny not to draw. So, with a few more Guinness and some of my special stuff, I sat down and started doing some rough layouts of the whole scene as I imaged it went down. Well, one thing lead to another and I started drawing the same bunny in different garb, to represent the ones that really did exist so far, along with some that were charactures of some friends. Somewhere along the line of drawing the raccoon, it became the arch enemy of the Vorpal. Almost there. Lets just say that I have a dislike for certain Viking types, and this somehow ended up guiding toward the creation of the Viking Raccoon, or Vikoon, as it evolved into. I mean every hero needs a nemesis to help the story line along, because remember what this whole long, long story was about? Right, the birth of the Vorpal Bunny and VB Warren.
      I knew you were smart. So there you have it. Now some of the cells are political in gist, and others sort of follow a theme or short story line. Some of the drawings are directly related to certain people or subjects in real life. We here at VB Warren are (should be) committed to bringing this comic to you every week. We have lots of ideas, some good, some bad, some lame, some sick, some really sick. We are not going to apologize for what we draw. This is all about having fun. We intend to make sure it stays that way.
      Back to the Vorpal Bunny that you may have seen people caring around with them at events, hayrides, ren festivals, and such. These are Vorpal Bunny action figures / mascots. Each one has its own personality, that the person known as a human keeper has helped to reflect in the way the bunny wears garb, if it does, and the way it interacts with others of its kind and other curious humans.
      There is a story line so to speak, fan fiction if you were, that describes what the Vorpal Bunny are all about. We at the North American Vorpal Guild (NavG for short) are dedicated to bringing to you the best 'toons we can. We will be mixing media, using any means at our disposal to bring the Vorpal Bunny to you, life and un-cut. We are here for you. If you have an idea, pass it along.
      This is my site, well, Ok, the Vorpals site . We say, 'Screw holding back'
     Word, "If you cant handle it, don't click here. Bye"
