Something went awry....

Comments: Created by Rick Parker (listed as Ricko the Sicko).

The "Zoids" are "would-be Marvel Super-Heroes and Villains who never QUITE made it...", making them fringe characters, kind of like the hostess and other advertisement or unconventional source.

The Ricko the Sicko listed as the creator of Bugout is Rick Parker, who was the artist on most of Marvel's Beavis and Butthead comics and the letterist on seemingly every Marvel comic in the late 80's/early 90's.
