The ‘Secret’ Origin of Sporkman! (22 of 25)

Date: October 13, 2004

Chapter: Secret Origins

Characters: Amanda, Sporkman, The Spammer

This was a particularly odd strip, in that it - and the next three comics - were drawnafterI'd already started drawing the One-Shots that follow. Basically, Keenspot - the comic company I was with at the time - was launching a weekly newspaper page of comics, and while I wanted to submit Sporkman for it, a serial storyline just wouldn't work in that format. So, before I'd even finished this first storyline, I started drawing standalone gag comics for the newspaper page. It wasn't until a few weeks later, in mid-November, that I finally finished the little storyline that I'd left hanging.

Note that the date I've posted this comic under isn't strictly accurate: this strip was originally drawn on November 14th, 2004.

Remastered on August 11th, 2012.

About The Comic

Classic Sporkman is a comic by Jodie Troutman, beginning in 2004 as a throwaway reboot of the titular character she created in high school. It's extremely silly, frequently stupid, and the comic's creator absolutely loves it. She hopes you do too. For more comics by Jodie, visit longtalljodie.com!
