Sam and Fuzzy Begins (for real)

We have at last arrived at the pivotal moment... the creation of the first real canon S&F strip! (If not the creation of the website itself.)

I was really happy to see that archive.org had scanned copies of all these old issues of the Martlet. It was a real throwback to see Sam and Fuzzy in that context again! I wonder what happened to some of those other cartoonists?

See you on Friday!

He's Mr. Death, That's His Name

I have truly opened a can of worms with this one. But no story of my journey to becoming a webcartoonist would be complete without... Mr. Death.

Here is the only surviving copy of the old Mr. Death website! A few elements are non functional, and there are some problems with the relative sizes of text and images when viewing it on a mobile device. But it still mostly works! You can still read the comics and, yes, you can still download the Mr. Death Winamp Skin. (For an authentic 1998 experience, be sure to browse the site in a window that's shrunk down to 640 pixels wide, haha!)

Now this one comes with quite a few more caveats:

-It runs on Windows systems
-It runs too fast on modern computers! About twice as fast. (You can tell because of how quickly the opening cutscene images fly by... they originally went slow enough to be timed to the music.) This makes the game much more difficult! (And it was pretty fussy to begin with.)
-It's not finished! There are only a couple of levels. But if you can beat them all, I'm very impressed.
-By default, ctrl is attack and shift is jump, but I think you can change it in the menu if you'd like.

But if you are willing to deal with all that, go ahead and give it a whirl! It's a mess, but I still kinda like the music I wrote for it. (The theme song is a cover I made of Powerhouse, but the other songs are all Sammy originals.) I recommend mashing the attack button a lot.

Anyhow, enough of that. See you on Friday!

Our tour through the evolution of Sam and Fuzzy has almost reached the pivotal moment... the start of the Sam and Fuzzy webcomic! But before that kicks off, please enjoy(?) this chaotic mess of a story, featuring what would ultimately become the inspiration for everyone's favourite satanic refridgerator.

See you on Wednesday, team!
