Kirby Vs Shy Guy is a comedic Sprite Comic starring Yoshi and Kirby. It all starts with them getting attacked by General Guy, which eventually leads to a Mario & Luigi styled fight against a Bandit, and... well, it's better to read it yourself.
The comic doesn't have a domain, so it could be found here

- Butt-Monkey: BG Bandit gets the target of most attacks, the center of a Running Gag involving Goonies falling on his head, and even is attacked by his loyal pet.

- Determinator: The Shy Guys spend the majority of the strip searching for Kirby.
