May 23 to 26. Table 1739. You’ve been warned.

Teacher’s Pet!

This is basically a true story. Every week or so, a random teenager will pop up on my Twitter stream, bitching about “Mr. Sporkman,” who – if I’ve read these tweets correctly – is their gym teacher. I feel like that’s somehow appropriate for OUR Sporkman, should he ever enter the field of teaching.

Some Notes About Sporkman

Howdy, Sporkfans. Sadly, I’ve bad news: I need to cut my losses on Sporky and stop trying to force the comic into a proper update schedule. In addition to the fact that it’s just harder to write this strip when it’s not completely random, I can’t get a significant amount of readers to read the comic on a regular basis. I need to reinvest my resources elsewhere for the time being.

Naturally, however, new strips will continue to appear on an incredibly random basis, as it was throughout 2012. Thanks for stopping by!

The Great White Way!

Creepy Sporkman is the best. I like that he’s now countless decades old but still has no concept of how normal people are supposed to behave.

EDIT: Sporkman has to return to its previous “completely random” schedule for the time being. Sorry! I wrote just a little about it here.

Observing The Watchers!

I no longer have any concept of what is or isn’t real in this comic anymore.

Beware of Hitchhiking Ghosts!

So yeah, we’ve switched over to a Tuesday / Thursday schedule. I needed to buy myself a little extra time.

Also, I did indeed cut short any potential Disneyland stories. I figured you could live without me making lots of a stupid in-jokes about the happiest place on Earth.

A Permanent Resident!

Everything in the Twilight Zone’s gym is painfully ironic. Make of that what you will.

Also, a quick note: Sporkman is going Tuesday / Thursday starting next week. I just need to cut one strip a week from my schedule. There’s no larger conspiracy. See ya Tuesday.

He Has A Dream!

And thus begins a series based upon my adventures about a month and a half ago. Because, once again, Sporkman is nothing if not a thinly-veiled blog comic.

Ticket To Ride!

Once again, Sporkman is at his best when he’s apparently in kindergarten. Actually, in many ways, Sporkman is my (unintentional) riff on Captain Marvel, albeit without the Wisdom of Solomon.

Kid Pix Brix!

My favorite strips are the ones with Sporkman at his most childlike, and it doesn’t get more childlike that this.

Sidenote: You can be forgiven if you forgot or never even noticed before, but Molly actually originated in this series, waaaay back in October 2008, predating her staring role in Lit Brick by almost two years. I’m weird that way. You’ll note that she’s mellowed a bit since high school.
