(Sigh.) Oh, Spamusement, how I miss thee.

And it's the first strip too: Give Her More Meat.

Actually the forums are still quite active, with several comics posted in the Guest Strips forum every day.

Funny cartoons made from spam subjects: http://www.spamusement.com

http://www.spamusement.com/

Not really a webcomic, not really updated any longer, and I'm unsure if it's completely safe for work.

It was funnier when stevenf did it five years ago. http://spamusement.com/

I have "Gorilla Arm Syndrome." But it happened nothing like you've explained http://spamusement.com/index.php/comics/view/105

Then, I take it you're a big fan of Spamusement.

It's not the same cartoon, but Spamusement ran for about two years taking spam subjects and illustrating them in ways that, in all probability, were not what the spammer intended to get across.

The official comic hasn't been updated in almost 2 years, but the archive is still up, and last I looked the forums had turned into a community of people doing unofficial strips.

Mi ting se 'pidgin' hemi wan gudfala nem blong givim long kaen software olsem. Smol tingting blong mi nomo.

Three? Why not just two?

I was expecting this story to link to http://www.spamusement.com/ ... "Poorly-drawn cartoons inspired by actual spam subject lines!"

this guy admits that his drawings are not good, but i think it is funny stuff: http://www.spamusement.com/

There's much more correlation between the spam's (literal, not intended ;) text and the "art", at http://spamusement.com/. "Poorly-drawn cartoons inspired by actual spam subject lines!"

Well, now you know.

"Microsoft, saving your life, one microsecond at a time..."

That reminded me of this Bill Gates cartoon.

I suppose there are people using the abacus too.

Nah, it's more of a cry for help

Ooh, [Listening to 11.975Mhz] = I like it! Thanks muchly for the linkage.

It is inducing gigglement, and the cute girls make it worthwhile. :D But it does not immediately strike me as brilliant in the same way as Pokey does. 11.975Mhz seems to be more silliness/randomness based. I can appreciate silliness and randomness, but I see some major distinction between that and Pokey's style. Words fail me, however, in actually explaining this distinction. What do you think?

I also recommend Farchie Archie, Spamusement, and Animutation. (The latter is a Flash genre rather than a comic strip, but it's a similar sort of humour.)

Spamusement: If you don't read it, then you're a worthless excuse for a human being!

Dude. This guy collects spam with amusing subject lines, and he illustrates them in completely unexpected ways. Is that fucking awesome or what?

Furthermore, it's by Steven Frank of Panic, Inc. They make excellent OS X applications. Support him by partaking in his software and/or his funny.

Perhaps it is just an education tool to show martians the meaning of BSOD.

Well, why not, after all, even Bill Gates got one.

Bill gates got one

... and this cartoon is for you ;)

I hope this doesn't take away from my spamusement fun!

you totally forgot jarjar's erotic adventure.

...is that if and when spam is ever eliminated, it would mean the end of Spamusement. http://www.spamusement.com/ I actually look through my spam to find the weirdest subject headings to send to the guy who makes the cartoon. It's the best use for spam I've yet to see.

obligatory spamusement link.

Oh, and for those who don't know, spamusement is 'poorly-drawn cartoons inspired by actual spam subject lines'. Go see.
