Long, long ago Clown Nation had to leave their dying planet where they had been living in peace since ancient times. So they began exploring the Universe to find a new world. Their travels were going fine…lots of seltzer down the pants and other clown antics on their spaceship, but two of Micko’s ancestors screwed up and they crash-landed on Earth.
HOLY SELTZER WATER! NO STEERING! WHAT ‘S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT?
Fortunately they landed in a body of water instead of crash landing.
Unfortunately they landed in a very, very large body of water.
Fortunately, several years later they eventually floated to land.
Unfortunately…
the land was a tiny island, and remember, all of Clown Nation was on that spaceship.
