Suburban Tribe was a webcomic written and illustrated by John Lee launched in January 2003. The comic alternates between story arcs that further plot and character development and stand-alone jokes. The comics tend to be relatively risqué, with bodily functions and sex often part of the humor. The longer plot arcs focus on the characters' love lives (usually failures), the frustrations of the corporate workplace, and the rivalry between Dave and Caesar, a super-intelligent cat. A printed volume of the comic was released in May 2006. Lee originally tried to have the comic published in newspapers, but all five comic syndicates rejected it. A local newspaper ran a story on Lee and his comic in June 2006, and this was followed by an interview with a television outlet. ==Synopsis== Caesar and Dave first cross swords during Dave and Alan's attempt to market catfood to unsuspecting single men under the name "Bachelor's Bounty". Caesar, frustrated by the fact that Alan and Dave have purchased all the catfood in Louisville, foils the scheme. Along the way, Dave discovers Caesar is a literate genius. Shortly thereafter, Dave loses a lot of money to an online casino, but he discovers that Caesar is responsible and refuses to pay him. After the enforcer he hired fails to disable Dave and Skip, Caesar plans to kill Dave by hijacking a satellite and making blue ice fall on him. At the same time, Tiffany and Alan are chosen to chisel the Cheez Whiz logo into the moon's surface. Dave arranges for Caesar to be kidnapped, but he escapes and hacks into a satellite to call in more blue ice. The satellite veers out of control towards Tiffany and Alan's space shuttle, and Alan destroys it. Carol, who was attempting to rescue Caesar, ends up in the Arizona desert, where the wreckage of the satellite Alan destroyed lands on her. Caesar hacks into the American military's database and steals an intelligent can opener, but is caught and The Pentagon recognizes him as the result of an experiment they did many years ago. The head of the National Security Agency arranges for Caesar to be kidnapped. Meanwhile, Alan has become a big fan of a new music star, Haley Bhairavi. He obtains a backstage pass to her concert, and Haley is immediately taken with him. After she becomes Alan's girlfriend, General Armbuster calls Haley (an agent for the NSA) to take Caesar, his owner Tiffany, and her friends prisoner so they can be questioned. Distressed by the position she has put herself and her friends in, Haley resigns. It is revealed that she is actually Carol, rescued from the fallen satellite wreckage and transformed into Haley by means of a computer chip. The Pentagon releases her, her friends, and Caesar. In the aftermath of the Haley fiasco, Alan is heartbroken and Carol's efforts to get his attention fail. Seeing that Haley is going on another tour, Alan buys tickets and falls in love with the new Haley while Carol watches helplessly. Meanwhile, Dave and Skip release highly classified information, and the new Haley decides to kill them in order to plug the leak. General Armbuster arrives, explains to Carol that the new Haley is a rogue agent, and implants a copy of the Haley computer chip in her. Dave and Skip destroy the classified computer program, and Armbuster kills the other Haley with Carol's help. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suburban Tribe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
