THE SHMOOFY EXPERIMENT

Here he is! That’s right, it’s everyone’s favorite bear-thing, Shmoofy!

The origin?

Shmoofy was originally an accidental recurring joke in all of my comics. Whenever a poster or advertisement was needed in a comic, I’d throw something Shmoofy-related onto it, so my idea was to see if anyone else would do the same.

How it works?

Shmoofy just loves to travel and is always looking for somewhere to go! He can even visit you, in fact, that’s where he wants to be! All you need to do is put him in your comic or art, you can be a subtle as you’d like! Place him on a character’s t-shirt, a coffee-mug, in a pile of stuffed animals! The sky is the limit. His silly grin and adorable nature allow him to fit almost anywhere, make him a part of a joke, place him in a background or a crowd, it’s up to you. If it’s a webcomic, a print comic or even a stand alone piece of art, you can get listed here.

The rules?

You must provide a link somewhere on your site to me if you use him, even in the most subtle manner.

A link to this page would be best. You just need to feature the URL in the author’s notes.

You must have him somewhere in the comic. His design is simple enough to adapt to your own style.

Shoot me an e-mail (hpkomic@gmail.com) with the details of his appearance, and I’ll list you on this page.

The rest?

So, that’s it! As soon as cameos and references start coming in, I’ll list you all on this very page! So remember, send me an e-mail if you’ve included him in any form, and I’ll include you here on this page. To sweeten the pot, once in a while I will choose one of the people who have featured Shmoofy in their art or comic and draw them some fan art as a thank you. So not only can you participate in something that’ll be pretty fun, but you may even get some art out of it. Looking forward to seeing him pop up in all sorts of strange new places! Special thanks to SynDuo for the adorable Shmoofy vectors.
