Serial [[Mega Crossover]] series more-or-less continuously written by Robert M. Schroeck since 1998. It is "serial" in two senses: first, in the more common usage, it has appeared in semi-regular installments for over twenty years (as of late 2019); second, unlike most [[Mega Crossover]]s which blend multiple sources into a single setting, '''''Drunkard's Walk''''' visits its different contributing series one after another, with little to no "bleed-through" between them.
 
At the center of the story is Douglas Q. Sangnoir, codenamed "Looney Toons", who would be called a superhero in any world but his own. On his native Earth, though, he is a metahuman -- and a paramilitary operative in Warriors Alpha, an organization of metahumans contracted by that Earth's version of the United Nation to act as its "super-police" force. A ten-year veteran of the Warriors and its Security Chief, with a rank equivalent to colonel, Doug Sangnoir is a professional soldier with a powerful but chaotic set of superpowers, an intimidating intellect, and a personal style strongly influenced by [[Looney Tunes|Warner Brothers cartoons]]. Ejected from his home universe by enemy action, he is [[The Homeward Journey|on a quest to return there]] by traveling essentially at random through the multiverse (hence the name of the series). As might be expected, this means his trip goes neither quickly nor smoothly...
