Misshapen Blob Man
Originally published 28 August 2000

This is one of my favorite strips. I can't really take credit for it--it grew out of an in-joke between myself and my two siblings (I am the oldest of three). We were sitting in my parents' hot tub, and, if memory serves, my sister made a crude shadow-bat with her fingers over one of the light covers, and claimed to be sending the bat signal. My brother responded with "that's not the bat signal. If anything, it's the misshapen blob signal." Theories about Misshapen Blob Man proceeded from there, pretty much exactly as they do in the strip.

I still find it funny, at family gatherings, to sing, in my deepest, slowest possible singing voice, "doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo bloooooob maaaaaaaaaaaaan..."

Yes, I'm a tedious little bugger.
