GGG's GHOSTIARY

i'm just having so much fun drawing all these freaky ghosts, so i thought maybe i'll show  them in a clearer way and give you some of their backstories.

1: JOCKEY and BANGTAIL

a jockey and a gambler who fixed up races by drugging up the horses of their rivals. Boss, a fan of horse races, decided to recruit them for his personal amusement. They got trampled to death as the gang scared a whole stable of horses into them.

2: BLABBERMOUTH and SEAMAN

Blabbermouth were originally three journalist brothers who sniffed something was afoot with romano's demise and kept investigating on the story until they basically unvelied the whole truth about the story. They were all killed by the remnants of romano's gang, who wanted the whole shebang to be put on ice forever. They willingly joined the bowler hat gang in order to hunt their killers.

Seaman was one of romano's men, dealing with his business in memphis riverfront docks. A rather ruthless man, often described as an uncivilized brute prone to overdrinking and flying into rages, He was haunted by his fellow gang members until he drowned himself.

3: SPOOK 

the gravedigger who tended to boss, tiny and slim unmarked graves. He died of natural causes in his cemetery office, and was turned into a bowler hat for having allowed romano's men to bury boss' and the others bodies without batting an eye.

4: LIP and MOUTHPIECE

a defense attorney and prosecutor that helped bury up pudgy's case in court as fast as they could, under romano's orders. They got killed by a speeding car while they were having sex in the middle of the street for everyone to see , thanks to the help of pudgy and fuzz possessing them after they handled evidence related to their case. 

5: FLIMFLAM

the owner of a pawn shop that recycled stolen goods. Boss knew him before he met Romano and used to sell him whatever he could find on the street. Boss found his ghost inside his  dilapidated shop, his mind almost completely gone because he couldn't process his death.

6: BRUNO and BOOZEHOUND

bruno died in jail after some of the other prisoners found out he was gay and in a relationship with a couple other prisoners. Trapped in the jail by all the tormented prisoner spirits in death as he was in life, he voluntarily offered himself to join the bowler hat gang to remove the tethers that tied him to that place.

boozehound was a cartoonist that pudgy admired incredibly in life , and the author of a comic strip of the same name, that ironically also reflected his real life severe alcoholism problem. After he died of alcohol poisoning pudgy insisted boss turned him into a bowler hat gang so he could have him as a teacher. Needless to say they haven't spent a single hour practicing, choosing instead to fuck and drink profusely every time they met.

7: GOONS

sometimes, ghosts are in such bad shapes they're barely sentient. These remnants and shadows are the result of several mental deterioration after spending  countless years in the place that no one belongs in. Boss took up these scraps of humanity and cobbled together these creatures, whose collective intelligence is high enough only to register the need to serve the gang, suck cock and get fucked.

8: CLOUTS

an aerial form of goons. They are way more intelligent, but not enough to speak. They are often seen fucking goons.

9: SAPS

ghosts that have been imbued with an excessive amount of the bowler hat curse: they become dimwitted and stupefied, their past lives and personality almost completely erased. They're a step above worms, but by a very small amount.

10: WORMS

a ghost imbued with an amount of curse so violent and excessive their intelligence is completely erased and their spirit is deformed in a barely functional shape. Their only desire is the desire of the curse, wich is to engage in homosexual activities 24/7, but aside from their mouths, they lack any actual parts to do the deed, so theirs is an existence of torment, torn by their desire to have sex, and their impossibility to gain any satisfaction from it. Boss has made only one of these creatures, as the first one he created,  his killer Romano, was enough to make him understand that no one actually deserves to be punished this much. 

11: HANDJOBS

these creatures weren't ever human to begin with. Boss can create entire flocks of these now out of the mindless lingering spirits of small , barely intelligent animals.
