This really reminds me somewhat of Grace's? The Place, except that Bugtown doesn't directly toy with its inhabitants. -Grace |

There, entropy works backwards, and can be slightly malign - what is dead does not stay dead; splattered body parts slowly return to coherence and life. You can't die in Bugtown, unless someone takes special pains to truly kill you - but on the other hand, how about lying half-dead in the middle of a road as careless drivers repeatedly run over you?
There, natives can affect reality itself - they can shunt through alternity, finding a version where things are the way they want. For the most part, this manifests as being anything they want to be, and suddenly having any tool they may need.
Bugtown is an unruly reality, and moves through meta-space, sprawling nastily across other hapless universes.
The Puzzlebox shares some of Bugtown's characteristics - the near-endlessness, the impermanance of death, and possibly the interpenetrating of other realities. [She] is, however, far nicer to [her] inhabitants than Bugtown is to its. Strangewarp is the only known area of the Mess similar in attitude to Bugtown, especially the parts mingling with Downwarp's urban decay.
More is available at [the official description] on Howarth's website.
Bugtown has appeared in a number of Howarth's comic books, most notably Those Annoying Post Bros.', Savage Henry, and Changes''.
