Dynamite Entertainment: For the uninitiated, how would you describe the animated series Brickleberry? What’s it all about?

The Creators: Brickleberry is an animated series created by Waco O’Guin and Roger Black. It follows the misadventures of a motley crew of national park rangers that work in the worst national park in the country. The main characters are Steve Williams — a bumbling overconfident park ranger who takes himself and his job way too seriously —Woody Johnson, the head park ranger — a hot-headed former military officer who rules the park with an iron fist — and Ethel Anderson, an attractive 25 year-old ranger. She was the top ranger at Yellowstone (before being fired for dinking on the job) was transferred to Brickleberry in an effort to get the park back on track. She is passionate for animals and nature, and does her best to treat her co-workers kindly.

The other members of the crew include Denzel Jackson, an African American ranger who is horrible at his job, but can’t be fired because he works for a government agency. Denzel is a gerontophile, which occasionally gets him into hot water. Denzel is the epitome of a fish out of water, because he’s afraid of bugs, snakes, and pretty much anything else that inhabits the woods.

Next up is Connie Cunaman, a lesbian female ranger who has a large body, immense strength, and a deep voice that is often mistaken for a dude. She is obsessed with Ethel, and would do anything to get with her. On a side note, when Connie gets excited, her vagina makes growling noises similar to that of a stomach, requiring her to talk it down like a wild animal. Finally, we have Malloy, a grizzly bear cub that Woody has taken in and spoiled after Steve accidentally ran over and shot his parents, telling him a tourist did it. Woody lets him play video games all day and eat junk food. Malloy is very crude, racist, sexist, has a superiority complex, and is some ways is a narcissist. He openly hates the rangers and, in addition, he enjoys putting them down and messing with them on a daily basis, especially Steve.

Dynamite Entertainment: As the creators of Brickleberry, what are your thoughts on creating new stories for comics?

The Creators: We are very excited for the opportunity to tell more Brickleberry stories! Animation really lends itself to comic books because there are really no creative boundaries. This allows us to stay as grounded, or get large and fantastical as we please. We had this idea for the premiere of Season Four, and are so happy to finally be able to tell it!

Dynamite Entertainment: What do you think Brickleberry fans will love about the new comics in Brickleberry #1 (MAY161368)?

The Creators: We think Brickleberry fans will love the fact that we no longer have the censoring constraints we had on television. These issues will be completely uncensored! Brickleberry fans will finally have the chance to see their favorite park ranger adventures in full unbridled glory! No annoying bleeps!
