So, this is a strip that only stayed “deleted” for a couple months. Basically, after the previous two Amanda strips, I figured this strip was just unnecessary from a story perspective, so it got shelved after I’d already wrote and lettered it. Several weeks later, I UNdecided that, because since when does this strip give a hoot [...]

Hey, it’s another “deleted” Sporkman comic! This strip, scripted in late-August 2012 and left on the shelf, was finally drawn and uploaded a couple months later in late-October. It was originally conceived after a Tumblr post put out the call for “butt” related comics and artwork. You should know you’re in trouble if anything is EVER inspired [...]

I wasn’t sure if I should actually post this or not, but I just can’t stand to leave a comic strip buried. Unlike most Deleted Sporkman strips, this one only stayed deleted for a few months: I drew it in May immediately after returning from the Phoenix Comic-Con, then I stuck it in a drawer [...]

This is one of those bizarre situations in which I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I both thought of this comic (in my car, on the way to ASU West) and subsequently when I drew it (after said drive, in class). It’s a weirdly vivid memory. Of course, [...]

This “deleted” strip was intended (obviously) to follow the previous one, but it got shelved after I’d penciled three of the four panels. Presumably I decided – like some other deleted strips – that it was slightly too risque for Sporkman. On the other hand, maybe I just didn’t like it. Either way, it’s certainly [...]

Clearly this is the part of the original story in which Peter Parker just starts crawling around on the ceiling. As that’s a bit outside of Sporkman’s normal skill set, he has to improvise. And now, with this strange, six-page diversion out of the way, we can continue on with “normal” comics. Remastered on January [...]

Hey, Emily’s in the last panel of this comic! Unless my memory fails me (again), this is her only appearance in the Chibi Sporkman strips. She was, very briefly, a super-villain character at the Secret Evil Organization, but she never really went anywhere. I think I just wanted to draw another girl, which is fairly [...]

…and what was already a ridiculous parody gets even MORE bugnuts. It’s Sporkman’s Law of Bugnuts Entropy – the longer a storyline continues, the more insane it will inevitably become. Remastered on January 8th, 2013

In trying to replicate as much of “Amazing Fantasy” #15 as possible, from the wording of the captions to the layout of the artwork, I ended up with several really weird looking panels. That said, I’d like to think that the incredibly bizarre scenarios only made a silly comic even sillier (which, with Sporkman, is [...]
