So does that storefront. I dunno, maybe it's just me.
But probably not.
The Pursuit of Pokey
|
Pokey the Penguin is a charming surrealist webcomic that celebrated its 10th year anniversary this past February. Pokey wanders around the ARTIC CIRCLE (and not the Antarctic with the rest of his penguin bretheren) with his buddies: Little Girl, Headcheese the Hippo and Mr. Nutty the Snowman.
Justin Pierce reviewed the comic for ComixTalk back in 2003, summarizing things with this pithy statement:
Yes, it's true. I AM POKEY, too. How 'bout you?
All of which got me to thinking, what the world needs now is an interview with Steve Havelka, the alleged creator of Pokey the Penguin. But since the only way I found to contact someone connected with Pokey was the pokey@yellow5.com email address and I got a response from the PENGUIN himself, I figured why not go with that?

Busy Day, Sad Day
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on November 30, 2006 - 18:31
Justin Pierce is stopping Kilroy & Tina - a very funny comic about an alien and a young girl that is currently running on Graphic Smash. It doesn't sound like burnout so much as the realization that K&T as currently structured could take years to finish.
K&T is often very funny and as a premise, it's excellent. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems very original.) It's entirely possible after a break, Pierce will find another way to return to the project.
Fleen catches that it's also the end of Ali Graham’s HOUSD.
Wonderella, All the World is Waiting For You
Submitted by Tim Demeter on October 21, 2006 - 03:24
Where have all the good heroes gone
And where are all the vaguely Greco-Romanic gods?
Another new series debuts at Graphic Smash today, and it’s not quite like anything else we have. It’s pretty evident why, right from the title, The Non-Adventures of Wonderella.
