Just a quick update to the sketchbook today; this should have gone up yesterday with the posting of the old index for The Shmoofy Experiment.
Here is a 2024 revision of Shmoofy the Bear for the project.
The Shmoofy Experiment was a slight meme among some comics folks in my orbit, and I thought the archive was lost to time until I found a backup of a 2007/2008 version of the page. So, I have republished that version (broken links and all) to bring back the project.
From the page:
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 when I could. So my idea was to see if anyone else would do the same.
This original concept was first rolled out in 2007 or 2008 and covered by the Dragoneers Crossover Index. The character began as a combination of in-joke for myself and friends, with inspiration from Jenny Everywhere.
Following a loss of the original page, I found an archived version in 2024 and am relaunching the project here at hpkomics.com. He is officially under the following CC license:

Anyway, that is what it is about this update. If you want to throw a Shmoofy the Bear in your comics, please let me know so I can update the index. Further, if you are interested in supporting what I do, you can do so through donations on Ko-Fi. I also take commissions.
