| == About the Carl Bird Universe ==
| | {{:Carl_wiki:About}} |
| The '''Carl Bird Universe''' is an interconnected fictional world centered on degenerates, crappy musicians, overconfident hustlers, local-and-staying-that way wrestlers, zealous security guards, slightly racist promoters, and other fixtures of mid-America mediocrity and unmet expectations.
| |
| | |
| At its center is '''[[Carl Bird]]''', who has been described as "Big Bird's older, meaner cousin with a prison record". Carl is a reprobate habitual offender with a criminal rap sheet the length of Long Island whose sheer luck (and lifelong free legal help from an indebted lawyer) has more-or-less kept him out of very serious trouble.
| |
| | |
| Carl's world includes bands such as '''[[Redline]]''', '''[[Chorbo]]''' and '''[[Trabajo Bone]]''', promoters such as '''[[Darnell Watson]]''' and '''[[Zutroy Zagreb]]''', lounge entertainers such as '''[[Tony Bulsara]]''', attorney/fixers such as '''[[Tony "No Nose" Catellini]]''', security personnel such as '''[[Mike Jorpa]]''', and shameless shysters such as '''[[Larry W. Cashdollar]]'''.
