Could someone who's been around long enough tell me the tale of Bongo? Make sure to include why he's gone and such. Bonus points for referencing that blue-on-blue background and explaining its fate as well.

these links may help.

This is a commedic version of what happened to bongo

Ahhh, no it's not, but this is.

Thanks, Chicka, love the comics, and not just because you're hot.

I'm sure it's been suggested before, but is there any way we could bring him back?

I don't really think so, that's something you'd have to ask brad about.

Please. Come on, sure you are. Why do women have such low self-esteem, and why would I have to ask Brad just to find out?

...oh.

Chicka = TEH HOT.

And Bongo isn't coming back. Brad is finally getting a little money from the site, attracting a lot of attention, and bordering on legality as it is. Using a Matt Groening character would be a baaaad idea. We will all miss that little one-eared freak, but he will not be coming back, as far as I know.

Ah, the harsh truths of life. It's too bad we can't have Bongo back too. [/already-said bad joke]

I really think we should add that Dongo character, or some other "slightly altered" version of Bongo. Just to piss them off.

Just make sure it's pale green. That would kick ass.
