Fun Facts
TORC Press is short for Truth OR Consequences Press. It's based on a town in New Mexico that was supposed the home of my favorite wrestler of all time, Cactus Jack. Mick "Cactus Jack" Foley actually hailed from New York. Obviously, Cactus Joe is a blatant homage to Cactus Jack as well. I think Truth or Consequences was also the name of a gameshow hosted by Groucho Marx. I think.
My last Xerox comic before I went to Pro Press Comics was called "Super Duper Fun Comix". I shortened the name to create "SDF".
All of the stories in SDF, unless otherwise noted, occur on Earth, in the same dimension (I call it TORCverse Prime Earth), during the same general time period. In fact, most of the stories in SDF, again unless otherwise noted, occur somewhere in Illinois. Those of you who are asking yourself, how is it possible for strips like El Gorio, Queelix & Quagmire, and Mosquito Island can occur in the same time period, in Illinois no less (a place that's not exactly known for its Deserts and Tropical Islands), well, let's just say you're injecting too much logic into it. Big run on sentence.
Cactus Joe has no hair anywhere on his body. He doesn't have fingernails or toenails either.
Pengy Penguin is not wearing really big shoes. He just has really big feet.
The Broken Tea Cup that appears in SDF is actually the third version of that character. The original appeared for one page in "Truth or Consequences Monthly" #6, and the second appeared throughout "Super Duper Fun Comix".
I came up with the concept for "aliceislost" by meditating.
There have been two King Smooth stories published to date. Neither of these are the original King Smooth story.
When he first appears in SDF: Perfect/Ugly, El Gorio has a tail. This is the only time he has a tail. I don't know why I drew him with a tail, and I don't know why I stopped drawing him with a tail.
In the first few stories featuring the Cosmic Fool, the Giant Space Manta that the Fool rides around on had these little horn things on the front of his face. In later stories he does not. That's cause I wanted to simplify the design cause I'm lazy.
Doom Harvest can only say two words, which are Doom and Harvest. Also, he doesn't have an actual human personality. His personality is modeled after a dog.
That's all I can think of at 6:50am. I might have a few more tomorrow.
