An advertisement of Splatterpope & Postal Grrl.
Splatterpope & Postal Grrl is a comic strip featured in the Sunday edition of the Paradise Times. However, since the Postal Dude does not receive the Sunday edition, said comic strip is never seen.
Origins[]
This is based on a comic by artist Steve Wik, which lasted for three strips and pre-dates the development of Postal 2. The entirety of which can be found below:

Story[]
In panel one, Splatterpope and Postal Grrl are at their high school reunion, which causes a nasty mess. Splatterpope claims he pick it up when the SWAT team arrives, just before Lieber Man and Tipper (The Girl Wonder) appear. Panel two is where Lieber Man and Tipper confronts the duo, while threatening to call up congress about this strip. As Postal Grrl complains about the two ruining the comic strip, Splatterpope pulls out a knife-bladed glove. However, this backfires, causing his right hand to get chopped off because his gloves were inside out. Lieber Man and Tipper are so shocked by this violence, along with Splatterpope's extensive use of profanity, they're forced to create a new rating for the comic. In the last panel, Postal Grll distracts Lieber Man and Tipper. While Lieber Man states he would never censor the use of firearms (despite mentioning his disdain towards guns), this created enough of a distraction for Postal Grrl to pull out a pair of guns and presumably defeat the two.
Legacy[]
Art of Postal Grrl can be found in the alpha trailer for POSTAL: Brain Damaged.
Trivia[]
- Lieber Man is yet another jab at Joe Lieberman.
- His costume is an reference to DC's Batman.
- Though maybe a coincidence, the name "Splatterpope" might be a reference to Namco's Splatterhouse due to both having an similar mask (as in the first game of the Splatterhouse series), religious elements (Splatterhouse has a cross-themed boss fight, while Splatterpope uses bladed crosses), and including the word "Splatter" in their name.
- Predating Postal Grrl was a character named "Murder Nun", who first appeared on a Christmas card for the old RWS website.
