Those Annoying Post Bros is a comic written and illustrated by Matt Howarth, which ran from 1985 to 1998.
It follows the adventures of brothers Ron and Russ Post, who fall largely under the Villain Protagonist umbrella. Other characters include Savage Henry, various Caroline clones, Cthulu, Jeri the arms dealer, Hiroshima the Nuclear Goddess, and Boche.
Ron and Russ (along with most other inhabitants of Bugtown) possess the ability to travel between dimensions.
The brothers' names and original appearances were based on Ron and Russell Mael of the band Sparks. Howarth's Post Bros and Savage Henry comics often feature guest appearances by various musicians, such as Conrad Schnitzler, The Residents, Yello, Nash the Slash, etc.
- Ax-Crazy: both of the Post brothers, but Ron especially. Other characters have shades of this.
- The Cameo: They have one in one Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Mirage) comic... for no reason other than to show up.
- City of Adventure: Bugtown, an interdimensional locale where the locals never die and can travel to any parallel reality.
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Henry, most of the time.
- Death Is Cheap: Anyone who dies in or is immediately brought after death to Bugtown will quickly regenerate.
- Dimensional Traveler: Everyone from Bugtown can travel to parallel realities at will.
- Fisher Kingdom: Played with; the eponymous Bros can choose whether or not their form adapts to the reality they travel to, and can hold off on returning to normal when coming home. Exploited at one point, when they travel to a world of giants to become giant, then return home as giants to take advantage of their increased size.
- Jerkass: The bros are just awful people but Ron is the more temperamental one.
- Mad Eye: Ron is frequently drawn with a huge bulging eye.
- Sinister Shades: Russ's tea shades.
- Villain Protagonist: They "are greedy, pathologically trigger-happy, completely corruptible, endlessly irritating, psychotically solipsistic and — unfortunately for all — possessed of the ability to instantly shift between all possible reality levels.
