Steven Frank is an award winning programmer from Portal-land in the Oregano nebula.
His work at the boutique software development house, Panic, has garnered critical and public acclaim.
He is also responsible for creating Spamusement and everyone involved in it.

Secret Origins

One balmy summer evening in 2004, a young Steven Frank was sitting at his lime iMac. Bored with endless coding, he decided to check his emails. Sadly, the only email he had received was spam. The subject line, "Give her more meat".
At that moment, lightning struck the Panic offices. The enormous bolt of electricity arced through the sparse, but tastefully decorated workspace towards a glowing cube of extra-dimensional origin.
The cosmic rays unleashed by this cube seared through his flesh and bone. For a few seconds, Steven's world was light and pain. Just as it was becoming unbearable, Mr F slipped into blissful unconsciousness.
When he awoke a few hours later in a pool of his own excretions, a cartoon was displayed on his monitor. That cartoon was "Give her more meat". The first ever Spamusement.

Internet Phenomenon

Spamusement became an internet phenomenon. People linked furiously to the poorly drawn cartoons featuring such characters as Eggplant Mike, Cabinet Sanchez, Troy Powell and homicidal Pterodactyls.
With this popularity came all the trappings of success. Parties, drugs, women, clothes, cars, men and an increasing pressure to deliver the funny on a daily basis.
It all became too much and, in 2006, stevenf took a wife (Possibly one of the hot brunettes that he works with. You should check out the photos. Seriously. Damn.) in a desperate effort to restore order to his life.
Sadly, this meant he was required to have meaningful conversations with his partner and eat meals away from the computer. His Spamusing tapered off and despite a few spirited attempts, the site fell into silence.

Aftermath

Stevenf's comics did inspire an elite group of artists and comedians to take up and hold aloft the Spamusement torch. The Spamusement Forum still attracts a number of Spamusers, but their numbers are dropping. Like miniature leaves from a silent bonsai. It's master no longer tending the fragile limbs with novelty-sized garden implements.

EvilJekyll is hosting an actual(!) wiki for us here. So at present the plan is to shut this baby down once we've moved everything there. If there are any objections to that, let me know. -catastrophile

"Poorly-drawn cartoons inspired by actual spam subject lines!"

Spamusement, as the sub-heading suggests, is a webcomic by Steven Frank in which all captions are taken from actual spam subject lines. Frozen in a state of perfect hibernation, Spamusement is given continued life by the thriving community of Spamusers that trawl its forums every day.

A short history of Spamusement follows:

Or does it?

The onomatopoeic horror known as *glorp* is thought to have originated in this thread. Warning: Contains Vienetta.
It also appeared in the Hi, nipple cactus thread.
In the Men, a poll thread.
In a giantsfan97 image in the Stuff Beauty thread.
It was also mentioned in the children are plopped in thread.

*glorp* is usually associated with the female genitalia and the act of something entering or exiting with a degree of force.
