Juan Richards

Juan Martavius Richards (May 1, 1612 a.d.- Oct.18, 1678) was an English bubblemaker, historian, and scientist. From a young age Juan was fascinated with the tales of Fartnation. His goal as a child was to be just as good, maybe even better than Fartnation at bubblemaking. When Juan was 16 he finished Fartnation's 3,482 page diary Farts of Fartnation, this is when he first discovered the Golden Bubble. Joe made it his life goal to find the Golden Bubble. He knew that if he wanted to find the bubble he would need help, so in 1630 he created his own bubblemaking university to educate young bubblemakers based off of Fartnation's IBB. Because of Juan's love for Fartnation he named his university The Institution of Bums and Bubbles (IBB) after Fartnation's original school.

Juan Richards was the first president of this new IBB and he held this position until his death in 1678. Juan searched all over Europe for the Golden Bubble without any luck. In 1676 he decided to search for the bubble in the American Colonies. He never gave up looking for the Golden Bubble. In October of 1678 Juan Martavius Richards died after falling off his horse in present day Pennsylvania, he was on his way to search for the bubble in a local cave.
