Pokey the Penguin fansite and FAQ. I've mentioned Pokey the Penguin a dozen times before, but I never knew about this nice, coherent FAQ (so needed because the official Pokey site is intentionally... um... incoherent). YES.

According to the comic's author, he writes Pokey because he "wanted to make something so terribly bad that no one should ever like it at all, but somehow infuse it with enough lovability that everyone would anyway... either proving the point that people are dumb and will like anything, or proving the point that people really can look deeper than the surface to like genuine quality."

Pokey fandom is most deservedly out of control, including various Pokey computer games. A Pokey-related text adventure game seems to be the most complete, and there's a Pokey-based Tamogatchi, a platform shooter, and a fighting game. Activision's web version of Pitfall includes a Pokey-related easter egg (press F7 while playing). At least one mailing list and at least one IRC channel foster a bizarre community with a highly refined collective sense of humor. (Well, not really, but some fans seem to be smart enough to formulate their own Pokey-like humor.) GUN!!!
