''I Was Kidnapped By Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space'' (IWKBLPFOS for short) is a webcomic written and drawn by Ro Salarian and first published on Platform/TheDuck in March 2007. It started off as a [[SatireParodyPastiche cheesy parody/affectionate pastiche]] of 1950's sci-fi pulp paperback comics featuring [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot pirates, aliens, and lesbians]]. It later suffered from CerebusSyndrome and has since gathered a large fandom, thanks to its regular updates (which isn't the case with so, so many other webcomics) and well, it has '''[[NinjaPirateZombieRobot alien lesbian pirates from space]]'''!
