Extreme Spork
Extreme Spork is done entirely improvisationally. I make no claims
about the quality of these comics. Whatever happens, happens.
I sit down with a sketchbook and a pen, and then proceed
based on three simple rules:
1. If I think of an idea, I am required to draw it.
2. No erasing, white-out, or any other method may be used to remove something which has already been drawn.
3. I can't stop until I've drawn a comic strip, even if my mother is drowning.
I highly recommend that you make your own imrov comics based on these rules.
It's a lot of fun, and a great way of generating creativity. If you do, tell me, and I'll link to you here.

Meet the Cast of Spork
Spork Classic
Sylvan: The author/main character of the strip.
He wears a hat.
* * *
The Rabbit: A rabbit who wears a George W. Bush costume for no apparent reason. He was brought into existence somewhat abruptly by Sylvan in the first strip. He started off rather naïve, but has proven to be a fast learner.
* * *
Gonad the Barbarian: A barbarian hero, brought in to add some random violence to the strip. He has a magical sword. It isn't more powerful than a normal sword and it doesn't shine in the presence of goblins, but it does float behind Gonad's back when he's not using it, even though he isn't wearing a scabbard.
* * *
Aaron the Roommate, a.k.a. Dung Beetle Man: Based on Aaron Perlstein, who does the rarely updated comic Smack. Sadly, he has a sp33ch impediment which sometimes causes him to randomly say "x0rz". He has three legs. He was turned into a superhero when a giant radioactive dung beetle bit him.
* * *
Alice: Despite being blown up in her very first appearance, Alice has become a recurring character.
* * *
Plasticon Johnson: A used car salesman who moonlights as an evil supervillain.
* * *
Dodge and Burn: A pair of professional supervillain henchmen, together they command the power of Shading.
* * *
Extras
Angels: They have no faces, partially, but not entirely, because I was too lazy to draw them.
Dan: Based on the slightly disturbed Dan Dadap, who has an unhealthy obsession with slide rules. He did the now defunct webcomic Slap.
Jenkins: A Secret Service agent, loyal to the rabbit (with the help of liberal bribes).
George W. Bush: The President of the Untied States.
Kenneth Starr: A national parasite of the genus gluteus maximus.
That guy who goes by in a blur: Mike Stern, who has a strange tendency to show up in comics with wheels instead of feet, going very quickly. No one is quite sure why.
"Santa Claus does NOT own K-mart!" guy: Aaron Reiser, who is guilty of "drawing" the comic Thwack.
Bob Barker: Host of the game show The Price Is Right, and certified National Landmark.
