A comic series in the works by troper Commander Jay, it hasn't gotten off the ground at all, with the exception of a couple of pictures.
The titular squad, or A.S.S, is a group of aerial soldiers fighting for the Great War Of Insect Civilization, often just called the Great Insect War. It should be mentioned that their leader is a insane praying mantis who enjoys ripping enemy soldier's heads off. So yeah, they're pretty dysfunctional.
This war is fought on two sides: The Allied Countries of Fair Insects (wasps, bees, moths, butterflies, dragonflies, mantises) and the Central Empire of Annoying Insects (Cockroaches, silverfish, mosquitoes, houseflies, parasites). The CEAI is lead by Max Von Mcbaron, a cockroach with a top hat and mustache.
The current list of tropes:
- Ace Pilot: The Aerial Special Squad. Although they don't really fly planes...
- Glory Hound: Bishop, so much. He doesn't mind putting the other members in danger, especially Solitaire.
- Iron Butt Monkey: Solitaire, who often puts himself through danger to help the others and is the one with the most kills in the squad, has never gotten a single medal. And yet, he happily fights along anyways.
- Strange Salute: Sticking your thumb up for the ACFI. For the CEAI, it's making a triangle with your fingers.
