Because HARPG totally needs organised crime.

Oh dear. Usually I'll post things and say 'this won't make much sense unless...' then give some obscure situation, but in this case I'll narrow it down to just 'this won't make much sense'. Via some ridiculous conversation with =Horsepoint I at some point decided that HARPG totally needs a mafia. Yes. I'll go back in my box now.

SO YEAH. I'll be drawing these dumb little comics for it till such a point that my brain manages to exile whichever part of it thinks this is a Good Idea. But in the mean time, a bit of backstory.

Main character here is James Dontalio, a young guy from the American branch of the mafia. His world is one of crime, but the usual sort, racketeering and theft and all that jazz. After some events, he moves to the Europe division and thinks it'll be much the same. Except that the new boss has realised that in the world of HARPG there's far more money in horse-related crime than anything else. Cue his introduction.

...Oh dear. Seriously, put me in any community for five minutes and I'll be there at the back quietly ovethinking everything. xD OH WELL. May be more of this, maybe not, we shall see.
