Space Pirate Almanac: The Clowns of Juggalon

Juggalon Pirate

There are many motives for intelligent being to go out into the universe to colonize planets. Some do it for personal gain while others do it for spiritual growth. Some wish to flee oppressive governments or restrictive social norms. The reasons are as varied as there are stars in the sky.

One group went out to find a planet where they could laugh.

The inhabitants of Juggalon founded their world on the principles of comedy. They wanted to form a society that lived, breathed and grew as funny people. They adopted a strange lifestyle where the punchline is of the highest priority. On Juggalon, there is no such thing as a sad clown, unless it is funny.

Their version of comedy however can seem simplistic to outsiders. They are jaded to most forms of comedy and therefore rely on the classics. Cream pies never go out of style to Juggalons. Neither does seltzer water to the face, a dangerously placed banana or a shower of confetti.

Over the centuries, the Juggalons have embraced genetic alteration to help them achieve their ideal form. Pale skin, red lips and unusual feet sizes are the norm.

Just because they are clowns does not mean that they are not functioning members of their society. They have police, doctors, lawyers, farmers, and any profession that you can imagine. They even have criminals. The only difference is on Juggalon, all of these professionals also have a comedy routine. And probably something that explodes and makes a rude noise.

Lately though, some Juggalons have grown unhappy with their planet and have begun to explore the universe. People are seeing more clowns traveling on starships, visiting distant space stations and touring the space lanes. Some clowns have even resorted to space piracy with increasing numbers.
