Hungry, Hungry Sabertooths!
Revision as of 02:15, 27 September 2022 by Ununnilium (talk | contribs)
Hungry, Hungry Sabertooths! is a Classic LNH Chaotic Add-On Cascade and crossover that Arthur Spitzer began in April of 2020. It exploded into furious activity in October and November of 2020, with Drew Nilium, Jeanne Morningstar and Scott Eiler all contributing; gradually dripped out one issue at a time over the length of 2021; and finally came to a big, spectacular end in August of 2022.
Starting off as a way of coping with the COVID-19 pandemic, it ended up as the most extensive and expansive LNH story of recent memory, drawing many of the plot and character threads from the post-Beige era of the LNH to a conclusion and laying the seeds for new stories to come! It introduced a surprising number of new characters who haven't been developed yet and a lot of giant robots and toku homages.

Plot
The lenses of Drama and Comedy are powerful. A plague, a president who doesn't know what he's doing, the stresses of quarantine... transformed into something stranger, sillier, and more dramatic!
No, we're not going to try and summarize everything that happens in this series, but it has a lot to do with a sabertooth virus and a series of overlapping plots by, like, a dozen different antagonist factions.
