Pokey the Penguin Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Pokey the Penguin is a surrealistic online comic strip, which began in 1998 and continues to be updated (albeit sporadically) to this day. The individual strips have little or no apparent logic on first glance, are filled with apparent corrections (crossed-out words, occasionally images scribbled over), and lack of evident punch lines. All the same, they exhibit the glimmerings of plots and strange connections between things. The dialogue—by contrast with the drawings—has a peculiarly knowing and subtle air about it, despite the fact that it is delivered entirely in italicized capitals with multiple exclamation marks. Pokey's fans persistently see it as a work of genius; in any case, "HERE ON RUM ISLAND WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN RUM!" and "IN MEAT-SPACE, EVERYONE IS YOUR FRIEND!!!" are unlikely to be the work of a four-year old. An interesting expression introduced in the comic is "Chicago-style", a term used in the strip meaning to do something without pants. The comic is produced, intermittently, by Steve Havelka of Portland, Oregon who, for years, was only identified on the page as "The Authors."
