Pieced together from ancient legends by: Andrew McGrae

The author writes:

In the universe the players inhabit, Postcard does not exist. That's the premise of this entire comic, after all. But most of the other things we know and love (such as Batman) do, albeit modified by the lack of Postcard:

Murderball is a serious documentary about wheelchair rugby.
John Di Maggio is known (barely) for doing voiceovers for poorly selling computer games, but gains widespread fame after his appearance in Futurama.
Sean Connery is known primarily for James Bond.
Nerdy guys make YouTube videos of themselves wielding lightsabres instead of welding torches.
Without the success of Postcard to spark interest in professional salvage diving in the late 70s and early 80s, The Aquanauts was never revived with movies and new series, and remains an obscure short-running TV show.
The Halo movie was never made. Halo fans never had it so good.
The major alien invasion background that pervades all of Western culture is The Day The Earth Stood Still, despite it never being much good. It was remade recently as a new, updated movie with a bigger budget, high-tech computerised special effects, and edgy writing. And it sucked.
Throughout the 80s and 90s, all the greatest Hollywood blockbusters were big-budget action films.
The Comic Irregulars exist and are making a screencap comic based on Star Wars.
