Making comics, game prototypes, and cartoon videos of course comes with all sorts back stories and layers of ooh! I have decades of lore for those willing to read. I threw away my massive hoard of comics once I quit art for the first time thanks to my photographic mememory and safe-like mind I remember almost every character. And series I made.
TOASTER HEAD
The first ever series I ever made was Toasterhead, I made it before I even went to school I threw them all away ages ago. ToasterHead's design was based on a mixture of two cartoons I once watched the Rugrats and The Brave Little Toaster, She had Angelica's hair and a toaster for a head. And of course she was a stick figure.
Later I redesigned her for my stick comic series Stick and Pwns, her earlier designs had a toaster for a head but someone saw one of her prototypes and thought she looked disturbing, I agreed, so I desided to make her more human, and give her an invention that she wears on her head, that you guessed it can toast bread. It also acts as a laser cannon to make it useful in combat. To make her less generic I turned her into an inventor and gave her a doctorate which made her name even longer, oh no!
The Super 7(13) LORE
The Super Seven was inspired by the Fantastic Four, it eventually turned into the Super 13. I can't even rermember all seven but they were all super heros with some generic elemental powers and super simple costumes with just the first letter of their name as emblems. There was Streach the stretchy one, my first ever character to go through mental illness. He was what you'd expect from a stretchy guy a complete goof ball.
Icey the ice girl: inspired by the Invisible Woman because my kid brain thought The Invisible Woman's dotted line invisible mode was her turning into ice. Windy the wind girl: she looked like one of those pale sickly ghost girl stereotypes, Captain Magma inspired by Batman, and Fire Man! Guess what he does. It wasn't putting out fires, he was simply made of fire.
Everyone of them except for Streach had absolutely no peronality traits. Come on it was my second ever series. Their base was inside of a cliff side. And their villains were absolutley trash, one of them was even a talking trash can, ha ha! I used to draw pamflets with markers and stapled them together into a book.
The Ouch Bunch has to be the longest series I've ever made I drew comics almost every day. It was a slapstick comedy series about this city of sentient food inside of a talking refridgerator. As for the plot it didn't have one. Reading and sorting throught them was a pain there had to be over a hundred issues of nonsense I'd dare say 500 I'm not sure.
I drew hundred of citezens for almost every kind of food or ingredient you could think of, and most of them never even got displayed in the comic.
The main characters were all named after what they were. With round Simpsons like eyes, oval black shoes, and simple hands. Each issue was mostly about this group of breakfast-ish themed friends. The main character was Marshmallow the sweet nice guy, Eggy the bitter and sassy one and the female, Sausage the dumb one, and Pancake the weird one.
They even had some antagonist featuring Straw Berry and Watermellon the evil nerds, Reporter Goose Egg (Eggy's rival) and Apple Corps the Apple Rotc teacher with a bad habbit of eating his soliers shoes like a wild dog.
Unlike most of my comics it actually had a grand finale, They finally exited the fridge and had a day at the beach.
Turbo Surge originally just known as Turbo (before that snail movie came out) was an action comedy comic inspired by a mix of media that I got into Super Smash Brothers, MegaManX, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Medabots, that's right my Mom bought me a videogame console! And I Block Buster rented a plenty of games (I know I'm a fossil.) The main character Turbo Surge is a trash talking bot from space, who's in your face.
Turbo Surge's secret identidy is Will Strike, Will was laying on the couch he's a depressed and down recluse watching tv greiving over his dead wife. Then his Son Max Strike shows up. Max wanted to visit Earth to see humans, since they're robots on a planet completely dominated by robots Will instantly shuts him down saying humans were fiction, but Max finally gets him of the couch by offering to give him a super suit and power shoes; Will instantly changes his mind and they head to outer space in his rocket powered minivan.
They get a house on Earth and live in plane site among human kind robot appearance and all and completely fit in, it's a comedy series after all. Eventually they meet Dr.Malevoses. He attacks this warehouse with this massive mech suit named the Robink Will and Max suit up for the first time as Turbo Surge and his side-kick Xtreme. They take him down easily starting their bitter fued with Dr.Malevoses, who builds a new bot almost every episode.
THE REST OF THE CAST
I invited my friends to add characters to the comic too, the others were Meta the laser sword edgy samurai that loves fighting even more than Turbo Surge (he was the only one on team Turbo without a secret identity, Meteorizer a goofy man that got hit by a meteor and now has a cybornetic mech suit, and Comet and his family, his wife Nova, son Orbit, and daughter Solar. Speaking of family they eventually find out that the "dead" mother Linda Strike wasn't dead after all, and she actually was on Earth the entire time saving the city as Deluxe the super famous robot heroin. And super wealthy as well.
The Finale
Eventually after 20 or so bots as Malvoses has as entire army of bots and decides to send them all after Turbo Surge and friends at once and start a war, he uploads himself into his most powerful robot ever Levolution, and shuts down Turbo Team in a masive explosion all bots except for Turbo Surge who just is too stubborn to go down.
Then Turbo after the toughest battle ever finally defeats Dr.Malevoses.
Soon after he loads all of the offline alleys into his van and flies off back to his home planet and gets them all repaired by his doctor Doc and his nurse Clara (Back to the Future 3 refrence)
FUN FACTS
Turbo Surge's design was inspired by Toonami Tom from Cartoon Networks Anime block Toonami from the Toonami bumpers mixed with Sonic the Hedgehog.
Dr.Malevoses he went through many name changes first Dr.Technotic, then Dr.Evil, then Dr.Vile, now Dr.Malevoses)
Formerly an unamed comic, I just named it right now (LOOK AT ME GO!) This was my second ever crack at horror, I showed it to someone and instead of fear they were cracking up.
THE INCOMPLETE STORY
Keith is leaving home and off to pilot school and says good bye to his older sister.
After he shuts the door, someone starts knocking, then the door gets knocked off it's hinges a black void is outside instead of a horizon then two red eyes apear aglow. It's the Grim Reaper! He hands Keith's sister a contract. The deal she dies if she doesn't sign a contract, the contract puts a spell of darkness over their entire planet, she signs it.
Keith is flying in a plane as soon as the spell happens he ejects before the plane crashes. In the middle of Eclipse Gate city he find the local officer Mitchel and asks what's going on, just to see that he's been complete zombified.
Running around in a complete darkness Keith finds a ninja that defends him from a zombie hoard. And gives him a pair of orange contact lenses with night vision properties. The rest is unknown because that's as far as I wrote...
It it sounds super intense but during the entirety of it Keith was making witty quips and hilarious one liners the entire time.
THE INTENDED ENDING
Eventually Keith was going to get a legendary blade made of light called the Beacon Blade (it's totally not a beam sword from Smash Bro.s) That he uses to unzombify the the world and defeat the Reaper and save his sister.
Extra lore
I had all sorts of cryptid spookies like Medusa, an evil werewolf scientist, and an insane pirate was eventually going to join along side Keith and the Ninja, the entire series was going to be in this silhouetted style.
Unlike most of my comics it was completely colored. And with these novelty markers that I got that could mix together and create gradients, I couldn't even finish it because I wasted all of the ink just cleaning the tips to get them back to their default colors.
Shuttle Switcher was inspired by a television block featuring back to back unrelated skits. It originally featured new characters every episode. The only one that stood out that I remember is this one about a man and his wacky talking chicken that got on a spaceshuttle and went to the moon, it cracked my mother up.
The name itself also has a story, "Switcher" obviously was intended to mean switching scenes or channels, "Shuttle" on the other hand was a complete accident. Back then kiddie me thought a satelite was a shuttle, originally Shuttle Switcher's logo was a satelite I intended it to be referencing satelite TV. Which still didn't make any sense since who has service like that switching satelite for service? Sounds expensive! The name was so cool and dynamic that when I brought the series back decades later I just decided to keep it. Nowadays the logo has a bus and a space shuttle in silhouette as shapes around the text. Which is like going on an adventure switching to a bus shuttle and a space shuttle. Sounds fun! When I brought Shuttle Switcher back decades later it now features my massive backlog of characters instead of new ones every episode.
It was a short series that was pretty much a buddy comedy, Abe the skinny tall neat freak, and Bob the over the top funny slob obese guy.
They were movie critics and it even featured my first ever crack at horror, featuring these monsters that looked like evil purple twisted versions of Mike Wuzowski years before he even existed har har.
To be honest it wasn't that scary.
there was no over arching plot just jokes.
The Incredible J was about the most cringiest character I ever made, inspired by the Greatest American Hero, it featured a guy in a similarly colored costume that kept on getting new powers every comic or so, I hated it because he always broke the third wall and just was generally unfunny and too over exageratedly lame. I never came up with what the J actually stood for either, and I still I don't care! It was a pain to write and read! His sidekick was a Hydro Kid. The first ever super hero I designed with shorts. He was way cooler than J that's for sure, the plot was most likely absolutely chicken strudels since I didn't know the basics of writing a story back then.
Robot Planet was more of a world building project than a comic that me and my brother made, everything on robot planet was a robot from the trees to the grass to the animals. It got out of control! Most of the comics were super experimental and abstract, the only one I remembered was one about this nerdy coke bottle glasses and bow tie wearing tv host bot and his interview with this robot in a factory it was pretty goofy.
I made many video game series fan comics including The Sonic Funnies, the Adventures of Super Koopa and Friends, the Mario Mafia, Dancing with the Segas, and Chaos Revoltion a sonic oc comic ((cringe)).
THE ADVENTURES OF SUPER KOOPA TROOPA AND FRIENDS
This the first ever digital comic I ever released to the internet was Super Koopa, it was a pixel art comic featuring character edits and original pixel art of my Mario fan characters which are all Mario enemies. Since I just love how diverse and creative Nintendo is with their enemies (if Ash Ketchum decided to stop catching Pokemon and started to go after Goombas and Bob-ombs I'd drop everything and watch the entire series to the very end. I quit watching Pokemon after season two one of the best decision of my life.)
It was a race comic about Super Koopa vs Prospector Shroom in a mach speed explosion filled race to Choco Mountain, to get some gold.
THE CAST
Super Koopa: he could fly at insane speeds. He could also powerup with power ups. He wore white cartoon gloves and a sky blue cape.
Yoshibro.: my first ever Mario character with an orange overalls and cap he was a Yoshi with the overpowered ability to swap to all of Mario's power ups installed in his EGAD tech hat. OI fan characters am I right?
Chuck the Chuckya: The muscle, an illiterate Chuckya with super strength and a chip on his shoulder, and a larger than life ego.
Moodi Guy: a mute Shy Guy with multiple masks in a backpack to swap expressions, that talked by writing on wooden signs he was the comic relief.
Goomba Guy: The strategist, the only Goomba with arms dressed in a blue Mario bros costume he had the power to stretch and control his mustache and a few Mario powers.
Da Bad dudes
Prospector Shroom: a cantankerous elderly mustachioed goomba with a bowler hat, and monicle and stuffy attire, he has no powers of his own, but he was rich enough to buy hundreds of extra lives and a weaponized Chain Chomp.
Chompy the Chain Chomp: Shroom's trusty steed outfitted with a bullet Bill launcher on the top of it's head and a saddle and blinders like a horse, he's actually quite sweet when not being used as a weaponized vehicle.
Jessy the Piranha Plant: A simple and wild fellow with a the really strange ability to change his leafs into arms and back.
Box Man the living Flipping block: Box Man is a random and funny walking block filled with an endless of amount of random stuff, he's got toon powers of the nonsequitur variety.
I never finished it so they never reached Choco Mountain but they did eventually in my reboot where I redesigned all of them as original characters named Ace's Gold Race.
CHAOS REVOLUTION
A Sonic comic a reboot of a concept I toyed around with once featuring Sonic fan characters that I made as an avatar for a a sonic forum account named SlashtheTimberWolve. It was about Slash the Timberwolf and his team, A new foe has stepped into the forest running amok and blowing trees down with a chaos emerald. I was to lazy to come up with a cool name for him so I just named him Tyrant, he had a chaos emerald and was doing way more things with it than anyone else has ever done. He called himeself a chaos wizard. Along side him was His herold Pyro Puma. Slash and his team decided to stop him and get the six other emeralds before him that was it, I stopped pretty abruptly the cringe overtook me I couldn't force my self to finish it.
It starred Slash the Timber Wolf the leader rough and rugged he could glide and that was about it, Kyle the Racoon a racoon the goof ball with a jet pack also no special powers, and Quill the Porquepine the strong silent type he had edgy chaos powers except they were yellow oooh!
The rest of the comics listed had no interesting stories to be told, just all silly jokes.
Empty Head formerly named Hard Head was inspired by Michael Swain's Block Head, Mega Man, and Rubber hose characters.
Empty Head was redesigned to look less like Block Head. Empty Head is a robot from the year 5000 that lives in the future utopian city named Marbletopia.
The story was a different skit every issue and featured his comedic fights and interactions with the colorful and amazing denizens of Marbletopia. Empty Head was a teen age bot that had aspired to be a super hero under the training of his mentor Maximorph the buck toothed blue guy. His design was inspired by a mixture of Bobobob Bo Bobobo's Don Patch and Pacman, I overhauled his design to look even less like them, which is what's displayed below. Maximorph's buck teeth may look like he's always smiling but on the contrary he's quite a negative bot. He has the power to transform into inanmate objects, and usually is used as a weapon by Empty Head.
Eventually after adventuring and meeting up with other bots Empty Head bands together a team of super bots.
There's his sister Jewelia the one with he head phones and in purple, she has the power to create vast swarms and waves of priceless gems, she can be very demanding and has the power to amplify her voice. Jewelia likes to listen to and make music. She's an ease dropper and is ususally found following Empy Head when he goes on his heroic misadventures along with her friend
Stella the one in the Green Dress and brown crystall sunhat, she's very meek and doesn't speak much, she has the power to control gravitational fields.
The one with the glowing solid light hand over his head is Knuckle Head, he's a rough and tumble street urchin that loves to get into fights. He has the power to swap to the color of his hand which gives his hand multiple abiliites like a red fire fist, an orange laser shooting fist, a yellow electric fist, a blue freezing fist, and a purple allows him to duplicate his fist into two hands and transform them into any shape.
And lastly is Tyler the one in the saphire tophat, he's a cowardly little guy with no fighting skills, when things go in his hat he can teleport things and even himself. I wanted to give him more tricks like using it to trap things but his moveset is still not fleshed out yet.
There were many other characters worth mentioning like Rad Man and Biazzare Man the dare devil tricksters, Razz and Francess her cat.
Pearl Dome and the colony of the hidden underwater city of home of the last of the humans.
Dark Head Empty Head's evil clone from the cloning booth, and the giant Cloning Booth Colosal monster.
Hot Head the flying craft sales man, along with his buddy Mr.Chew Chew a walking pair of toy teeth with a toy stor, and many more.
PWN pronounced OWN is an old term from the internet a phrase from leetspeak internet slang meaning to get defeated, used commonly in the phrase LOL Noob you got PWNED! Stick and PWNs before it got it's hilariously far from relevant name was just simply Stick Comic. I made it during my wild and rebelious teen years making it the most edgy series I ever made it had blood, barf, and fallen angels, super edgy. It starred the sick and twisted Stick named Jet the Silhouette inspired by newgrounds cartoons like Xaoxoa and countless other stick fights if he was black you know he was the main guy.
Jet is roamed around the city of Pummel flat doing what ever he pleased stealing buses to travel to fight the prince of the underworld, getting in scraps, and fighting generals in tanks, to trashing his best friends house after loosing a hundred matches to him in videogames. He lives in a world inside of a child's notebook, so yeah he even fought math equations once.
THE CAST

Pound the pound sign, former member of the number mafia he has the power to shoot a numeric laser that can turn anything into numbers. He's usually the reluctant dude with the most common sense and questions all of Jet psychotic ventures.
Dot the Get Away Driver the Latina with the headband and noose with super jumps and super powerful kicks she can hang you from anywhere. She drives the get away hearse.
And Psyches the inventor of cruel and unusual weaponry. The thing he's got in his hands is dubbed the Stoker, it's an incidiary sniper rifle and flame thrower combo, it's got rounds that burst and spray lighter fluid before contact, pretty much making anyone spontaniously combust at any distance. He carries that along with his bear trap attached to an extendo chain, another one of his monstrocities is the ceiling fan gun, a mixture of a rail gun, a teleporter, and a ceiling fan. 1. shoot spinning ceiling fan blade 2. Shred your target 3. teleport it back to reload.
Lesson Learned was a comedy slap stick series inspired by Dan Paladin's flatheads characters. It starred Carter a clumsy idiot boy with the worst of luck. Every issue he kept on getting into situtions with others that just snowballed out of control. The image above was when he moved to tornado alley, he tripped over a rock sending it a construction workers head he was about to beat Carter up until Carter blamed it on a tornado, the next thing you know here comes a tornado getting mad that he was using him as a scape goat for all of his blunders. Eventully after the tornado gave him hte pummeling of a life time. Carter finally confessed that he lied and got drove into the pavement by the enraged construction workers fist. Lesson learned don't blame stupidity on others.
Platformer Pests LORE

Baron Unbearable leader of the Bad Guys vs Scorchy leader of the Good Guys. Baron Unbearable has taken over every island except for the polar icecaps home base of the Scorchy's immigrant colony of aliens named Vimtopia. But this story is not about them it's about a group of misfit minions under Baron Unbearable that are called The Platformer Pests.
THE CAST
Jumping Jack Mac the orange one in baggy pants is the main character, he's very urban but can't fight to save his life, you may assume that he doesn't care too much for learning but on the contrary he's secretly a hacker and very intelligent able to come up with complex plans on the fly. He's obsessed with eating burgers from his favorite restaurant Mc.Eaties (I named him after the Mc.Donalds Big Mac burger.)
Mac stole an invention from the Good Guys that's an emulator of his very own world it's a Tera Tie inside of the Tera Tie, Mac found a way to use it to hack his own worlds code. Mac is from a classs of enemies called Jumping Jack Joes. He's often found toting an unloaded submachine gun and a laser gun.
Flying Felisha the one in the yellow propeller cone hat is a pro at mental warfare she doesn't need arms to mess you up, make no mistake she doesn't get her jollies from it as she's bored 24/7. She's close friends with Clippy the yellow ghost and Brush, but as for everyone else in the group she just tolerates them and pranks them often.

Her and Punchy where inspire by the Pac man ghosts.
Brush is a talking brush he's very high strung and has anxiety issues, on top of that he's filled full of static eletricty that builds up whn he's used as a brush which drives him even crazier. He's the smartest one in the group yet the other psets just don't see it with all of his sporatic behavior, he knows all of sorts of backdoors and secrets to the game and is into mad science on the side. Brush's battle cry is "Fricta Fricka Fricka!" he may be crazy but he's not always having an episode that would be unrealistic when he does calm doown he can be very gentle and kind. Brush is actually one of Macs design iterations, I loved it so much that I decided to make him a character.
Punchy the red ghost is the powerhouse of the group, he never says a word and is grumpy at a constant since he never talks we may never know why, Punchy's got super strenght and can uppercut you into the stratosphere. In his alive form he's Old Man Punchy. He ususally protects the pests without prior communication but sucker punching his own alleys isn't beneath him.
Nate the bombaghost is hte one in the blue emo wig, he's ususally in a bad mood because his job is to self destruct. Nate into robotics since he is one it saves money on repairs. Nate is the rock of the group he's alway willing to help his friends whenever they ask. In his alive form he's called a bombot. Nate was inspired by Super Mario's Bobomb.

Sketch was a comic about the Sketch King a simple drawing that was made by an office supply store employee that came to life one night. The SKetch King reached out of the paper and grabbed some colored pencils and started drawing his own castle and servant, his servants were Milly,Vanessa, Chef Pedro and Ted the Jester. Each one of them grabbed their own office supplies. AS long as they held onto the supply they could traverse the 3D world and jump into other drawings and books. It didn't have much of a story. They did once go to another drawing where there was this kung fu war though that was about it, I got bored of making it fast.
