Chugalug
From Plastic Tub
One of the more ornery characters featured in Trenchwheat's Lil' AA, Chugalug was a napiform Arab tribesman in full native garb, always drunk and carrying a sabre. While the character was never popular, Trenchwheat nonetheless attempted to spin him off into a related strip, titled simply Chugalug Street.
Desiderata
- Lil' AA members were never allowed to enter Chugalug's house, ostensibly because of Sharia. Despite the horrible weight of defying Muslim law, Lil' Mazzy and Lil' Dacusse broke in through the basement window in a bungled panty-raid. Barely escaping with thier lives, the pair walked right through the front door, wearing burkas and speaking in falsetto tones, winking thier way past frowning militants and suspicious mullahs.
- The Chugalug action-figures distributed by O'Donnely's Ribhouse and Honkytonk featured a detachable sabre responsible for the choking death of every four of ten thousand diners. These unfortunate incidents were celebrated across the Arab world and the toy-swords were recalled.
