Okay, so, I heard about this thing called “Penguins Behind Bars,” and let me tell you, it sounded wild. A comic book about penguins in prison? I had to check it out.
First off, I tried to find some info online. I typed “Penguins Behind Bars” into the search bar, and a bunch of stuff popped up. There was something about a publisher called NBM, and it looked like they had this comic in their catalog. Apparently, there’s even a softcover version. Who knew?
Then, I stumbled upon some forum discussions. People were talking about an Adult Swim pilot with the same name that aired once in 2003. Sounds like it was a one-time thing about a female penguin getting locked up in an all-girl prison. I guess that was different from the comic, but still pretty out there.
I also found this site that was trying to list all the issues of the comic book in a timeline. Honestly, it was kind of confusing, but it seemed like there was only one issue of this thing, from way back in 1989.
As for the comic itself, I found that a total of only one issue was ever released, and it’s pretty much a collector’s item now. I started looking for any information about the characters. It’s so funny that they had a penguin named Duckworth, I think this must be the main character.
What I could piece together is that this comic has some kind of cult following. It’s like this weird, obscure thing that people either love or are totally baffled by. One guy on a forum said that the whole concept is a “juxtaposition” because penguins are “flightless.” I guess that means they can’t just fly out of prison. Makes sense.
Here’s what I’ve gathered about this “Penguins Behind Bars” thing:
- It’s a comic book – Probably a one-off, published by a company called NBM.
- There was a TV pilot – Aired once on Adult Swim, but it might be lost media now.
- It’s about penguins in prison – Yeah, you heard that right.
- It’s old and maybe rare – The comic is from 1989, and the TV thing was in 2003.
- It’s super weird – But in a way that makes you want to know more.
So, yeah, that’s my deep dive into the strange world of “Penguins Behind Bars.” It’s definitely one of the most unusual things I’ve ever researched. I’m still not sure what to make of it, but hey, it’s a good story, right?
