The Great Skaboola and the Grey Alien Drones

From the Official Cast Page

First Appearance (Drones): Fooker's Abducted by Aliens! (March 17, 1999)
First Appearance (The Great Skaboola): Close Encounters of the Dairy Kind (October 3, 2001)

Early in the strip, Fooker was abducted by aliens, who subsequently tossed him back as a "reject." However, the aliens were forced to come back to retrieve some "doodads" Fooker stole from them. Years later, Fooker encounters the same aliens again, when he and Trudy are captured and placed in an alien zoo so their mating habits can be observed. It is here we learn of the Great Skaboola, the fat, corrupt, and greedy leader of the "drones." Unfortunately, the Great Skaboola's greed is his downfall, and he strikes a deal to trade freedom and alien weapon technology for vast quantities of cheese (his one true weakness). Those traded weapons prove vital to Empress Trudy's rise to power in the future (see Surreptitious Machinations, Chapter 6: Plots and Complications).
