Description Wronged by men & betrayed by fate, Bonnie Scarlet sails the airship REVENGE across the known worlds in an unending quest for plunder, justice, and just plain peevishness. Why? BECAUSE, that's why. What do you MEAN by that?

Ladies: it's a dream come true.

Gentlemen: Okay. It's like this. That time last week when you found yourself standing behind a tree with guacamole all over your head, muttering "What just HAPPENED?" is pretty much all systems nominal for Bonnie Scarlet.

You'll have learned by now that there's not actually anything you can do to avoid the rampaging hordes of either sky pirates or your girlfriend. So like the various law enforcement agencies of Retropolis you've come to rely on ducking - and it's important to avoid ducking straight down - or running, when necessary, and at all other times you've just got to be prepared to stand and deliver.

But hey, it could be worse - and that's an actual quote from the Space Patrol - because whatever else you can say about her* she does what she does with uncommon style. 'Cause really, it's not just anybody who has their own airship, right?

*When she's on the other side of the Moon, I mean.

She needs to team up with Rocket Annie & Grond ([link] ). What adventures they could have. Sort of like Thelma and Louise in space! (If you toss in a Gorilla and Crazy Scientist).

Love it.

I'm pretty sure I could toss in a mad scientist, but if you want me tossing gorillas around then you'd better find me a really small one.

This is awesome. Can I be her when I grow up?

I think I'm digging the fins on the airship the most, for some reason.

Charming. If it were a comic series, I'd consider following it.

I can't help but believe that there is a publisher out there somewhere who needs your brand of vision for their book covers, sir!

Ever consider doing a short subject with your characters? A different animal altogether, I know, still a guy can wish.

I continue to learn from the master. Huzzah!

Oh, well, I'd probably end up telling a book designer to tell it to my giant robot, or something, anyway . Though it does make a spiffy blank book: [link]

Yep, it ain't steam, but it's a friggin airship .

The guacamole reference is based on actual events.
