Let's go over these versions of some of the most wholesome "horror" creatures to be found!
What's the Work?[]
Bug-a-Boo: Life, and its sequel, Home, are part of the Graphic MSP séries, where multiple artists recount the iconic Monica's Gang characters under different tones, artstyles, and storylines. Especifically, they talk about Bug-a-Boo's gang, a group of friendly pop culture monsters and scary creatures who live in a cemetery.
Who are they?[]
Bug a Boo
Bug-a-Boo is the titular main protagonist. A wandering soul of a dead man waiting to be reincarnated, he lives with his friends at the cemetery and has as a life goal revealing to Sally Soul how much he loves her.
Moe the Mummy
Moe the Mummy is a major protagonist. A level headed mummy, he is the most rational of the gang, living in a sarcophagus in the cemetery. Though he can lose his temper at times, he is simutaneously a voice of reason.
What makes them close to Pure Good?[]
Bug a Boo[]
He is introduced playing with his friends, only to be greeted by Mrs. Stork, who is overseer of reincarnations. She informs him that Sally Soul will reincarnate the next morning, and he says he will warn her, hiding how hurt he is, since he always kept stalling his admission of love. So he takes Sally on a date before telling her the news. However, Sally is kidnapped by a duo working for the soul thief, Mr. Crowley, and Bug a Boo soon gets quite concerned. With support of his friends, he goes looking for her.
He easily makes the trail to Mr. Crowley's house (who Frank localized as the man had a poster for people to come looking for lost souls) due to his lack of corporeability. His friends come as well, and whenever they feel scared or anything, a very adamant Bug a Boo snaps them out of it, having them continue their quest. They stop at a place called the Hill, where they befriend a seemingly human man called Wolfgang and then go to Crowley's House.
There, Bug a Boo asks for help to find Sally, and feels sad when Crowley tells them his story. However, as soon as they get to the Soul Jar room, Bug a Boo quickly realizes what is happening and SCREAMS for Crowley to let Sally and the other souls go free. Crowley then summons three chaotic demons known as the Triplets to kill Bug a Boo's friends, while Bug himself keeps trying to find Sally within that jar. Inadvertedly and indirectly, this leads to the freeing of those souls as Crowley's defeat, as the Triplets, in an attempt to attack Bug a Boo, throw many heavy things at him, which breaks the Jar, and the angry souls go on to attack Crowley. Though, again, this was accidental.
In the second book, he helps the gang move to Lady McDeath's place, and inspect the whole thing, while hanging out and dating Sally Soul.
In the burning of the climax, he doesn't do much until they find out a boy is still in the upper aprtments. He goes there, but Lady McDeath appears and tells him to not interfere. The only way to save the boy would be possessing his body, which would grant him more years as a purgatory soul. Eventually, he convinces Lady McDeath to save the boy
Moe the Mummy[]
Despite his kinda cynical personality, he is pretty helpful and not as much of a jerk as Vic Vampire. In the first book, he is one of the most vocal to get everyone to help Bug a Boo find the missing Sally Soul, and thus, they all go looking for her. Aside from a short freak out in the way to Mr. Crowley's house, where he snaps at Frank, he is pretty much a supportive member of the team, not to mention, he apologized to Frank soon afterwards.
At Mr, Crowley's house, once he gets them all to his Soul Jar, Moe is quick to realize and point out to Frank that something VERY bad is going on, as they see all the agonizing souls at the Jar. He doesn't get to do much though, since the Triplets get ahold of him and start messing with his bandages, to tie him up. Still, he TRIES to help his friends in the battle to the end.
In the second novel he offers himself to help Lady McDeath with her paperwork corrections, and becomes really entrhilled in trying to find the Triplets, who are the cause of the overpopulation of souls Lady McDeath is facing. He eventually finds out the ritual to summon them, allowing Lady McDeath to aprehend them, though they, unfortunately, sucessfully put the building in a fire.
As he and the gang as well as the rest of the survivors are in the lowest parts of the building, the entrance is blocked. Since Frank is super strong, but not very smart, Moe tells him to punch the wall open. Frank does so, thus they both (Moe's idea, Frank's execution) saved tens of lives from the people that were gathering at that apartment and would suffocate to death.
What Prevents them from Pure Good?[]
Bug a Boo[]
While he clearly wanted to free the ones in the Jar, so did everyone else, and the actual role he played was indireta and accidental, making so it suffers from Fridge Brilliance. While him going to save Sally, coordinating everybody in Lady McDeath's apartment and knowingly trying to save a child from a burning building despite knowing he'd get more years in purgatory, all prevent him from being standard, he still fails the AS to Moe the Mummy and Frank, responsible for saving many people in the fire by letting them out to the streets. Ironic, since he is the main protagonist.
Moe the Mummy[]
He can be quite jerkish, such as screaming at Frank for wanting to thank the owner of an abandoned boat, and constantly annoying Vic Vampire (even if Vic's hardly an easy going guy himself). With most people other than VV, however, he is usually pretty polite.
He can also be lazy, as, instead of helping carry anything over to Lady McDeath's place, he only laid on top of the baggage Frank was carrying (though his strenght was so big, it didn't faze him) and Vic even calls him out on it, to which Moe invents some lazy excuse.
Veredict?[]
Yes aaaaand yes.
