No, seriously, it did. I was just a little 5th grader with nothing better to do than draw. One day I made
a comic, about a stick man killing Osama Bin Laden. That led to my friend Graydon and I making a bunch of comics. Keep in
mind they were crappy at first, we were talentless little children.
We got better when I made Pro. Idiot Eugene and the Magician in 2003. that branched off into a legacy of
comics about the stupid kid almost killing himself, and usually killing others in one way or another.
Somewhere around late 2004, we ran out of good ideas. We were out of Spastic Sports, having made everything
from Funny Football to Wacky Wallball to Suspicious Snowboarding. We were out of Eugene comics, having made Eugene cleans
a window, Eugene grows a beard, and about 150 more. The "ordinary" ones were becoming more and more bland as well. We slowly
stopped.
Then, in 2005, came the dreaded studying for the United States Constitution Test. I don't know about you,
but we had a big paperback book called We The People. There were strange illustrations comparing a bad government and a good
one. One comparison showed a policeman on the right, rining a doorbell holding a paper. On the left was shown a pair of people
dragging a man out his house with the door knocked down. They were Nazis. I drew an angry elf to accompany them in my notes.
I lol'd at it. Maybe even rofl'd. I wrote a comic about it--the Armless Nazi Elf Cop.
Shortly after that, I drew a strange man shouting. I got to drawing his neck, and the ring around his neck
on his shirt. I kept drawing more and more rings until it looked like he was popping out of a puddle. I drew a coffee cup
around the puddle and a tired guy holding the cup, clearly not afraid. The Coffee Lurker was born.
After that, my friend (and writer of roughly 1/2 the comics) remarked we should do something with them.
I have them all in a hanging folder in this desk. I suggested we turn them into cartoons somehow, maybe with flash. I don't
have flash.
Then I published my other site on Tripod (see links). I was fiddling around with the options and saw you
could put things up for download. Of course, the ANEC would offend people. I changed the name to simply "The Armless Elf Cop"
and edited the Swastika out of all the drawings. And that brings me here. I started writing a history of where these comics
came from in 2006...
