A
Powerpuff Girls fancomic by Tony Bates a.k.a
Sly Cherry Chunks
made in 2003-2004 for the then active PPGWorld forum, a popular forum for all things Powerpuff Girls.
Also known as
Board Battles the Broccolloids, it tells the story of the Powerpuff Girls joining a space corporation known as Bridge Co to battle the against the Broccolloids (from the episode
Beat Your Greens) invasion alongside the other cadets (who are based off the forum members). However as the battle rages on, there turns out to be more at stake then initially let on.
Full of many a
Shout Out and
author avatars, along with a well written story (though obviously written on the fly to incorporate the growing members into the story) and great artwork by Sly. It's a very good read for any fans of PPG or just anime pop culture.
Was followed by a sequel:
Board Battles the Bydo, but that comic was discontinued when the PPG World site went belly up. The site hosting the comic also went dead though you can see some of the last few pages on Sly's Deviantart gallery.
You can find the first two BBB comics:
here and the third and final book
here. An archive of all of the pages of Board Battles the Bydo empire is seen
here.
- Aborted Arc: Before PPGworld battles the Bydo, another comic was being made called the Legend of the Saint Beast, which didn't get very far.
- Anyone Can Die: Several characters get killed off throughout the comic.
- Art Shift: Page 220 was done by a guest artist.
- Ax Crazy: Digital Z, who's cloned from Digital X.
- Attack Its Weak Point The Angel of Darkness weak point is on the back of her head. A combination of light and dark attacks are required to kill it.
- Badass Adorable: Most of the characters.
- Bad Future: Parsec shows some of the characters one of these at the beginning of book 2.

- Darker and Edgier: Though it has its comedic moments.
- Detonation Moon: At the end of book 2, The moon gets destroyed by one of Rocketman's attacks. It then gets converted into a bomb which they then plan to blow up the Broccoloid galaxy. For extra amusement, this was four years before a certain other series would do the same thing.
