Icky and Funboy: The Galaxy's Biggest Buffet

A Backyard Starship Standalone

By: J.N. Chaney, Terry Maggert

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

Van Tudor is a busy man.

And that means his friends are going to have to help out as they begin expanding their role as Peacemakers, diplomats, and warriors.

But not every job is fun. Unless you make it fun.

Tasked with a simple prisoner transfer, Icky convinces Funboy to take a chance on something that goes against every fiber of his being.

The Galaxy's Biggest Buffet.

Naturally, things don't go well. There are sneeze guards, cheese fountains, and a small case of murder that lands Icky and Funboy as suspects in a crime so heinous, it almost interrupted their breakfast.

Come along as Funboy unleashes his unparalleled desire for truth, good hygiene, and justice, while Icky—Icky is going to smash things and eat, sometimes both at once. Because that's what friends do. They pursue their passions, they lift each other up, and they look for ways to beat a murder rap, hopefully in time for dinner.

Aliens are like humans in costume.

Developing of characters multiple additives. Multiple facets and building onto interesting individuals. Funny, adult. Perverts.
