Radio Isopod
Radio Isopod is about the misadventures of the crew of the submarine, the S.S. Isopod (That’s the Slightly Shady Isopod, not Steam Ship, although there is plenty of steam aboard. Not, you know, that kind of steam). The S.S. Isopod’s primary mission is a safe haven for mad scientists to conduct their mad experiments in relative peace. When they aren’t working on their own diabolical projects, they contract out their services to evil overlords and other interested parties in need of some covert scientific work.
However, it’s not just all work and no play aboard the Isopod. The scientists, as well as the rest of the crew, make it a point to keep things fun and… interesting.
Radio Isopod brings some of the happenings aboard the ship to the world while still maintaining their super secret location. The comic and website includes discussion on the daily trials and tribulations aboard the ship, updates from the scientists themselves, and the occasional sticky (and often tentacled) situation.
The crew of the S.S. Isopod would like to welcome you aboard, as they do their best to entertain and enlighten your mad science deprived life.
