1st Period - Art Class - Late April
National High Five Day had just ended. Jeff and Joe are talking.
Jeff:
So on the national high five day website there are these comics (Permanent Tanooki - link not currently working). How could would it be if we had our own comic site like that!?
Joe:
That'd be so cool! And I already have a comic character! Mr. Mohawk!!
First Two Weeks Of May
Jeff set to work on designing a very bland website using one of freewebs that looked a little something like this:
Jeff and Lee Singer were busy with handing out flyers and free lemonade (in tribute to National High Five Day's origins). On MAY 14TH 2007 the very first comic went up. That was the home of Mr. Mohawk for its first 24 comics, (what is now referred to as Season 1) but soon summer came. Jeff's computer and internet connection had a lot of problems. And Mr. Mohawk stopped updating. Joe was still drawing the comics.
When school resumed Jeff promised that he would completely rebegin Mr. Mohawk with a fresh new look and then came the Season format and, for the most part, the design we have today (Finally, early 2007 saw the switch out of freewebs into a private host). 3 seasons, one of 24, another of 74, and another of 47 (the last of the weird numbers before each season will now consist of a solid 50 comics) were born and more continue, with Season 4 beginning at the end of the month!
Mr. Mohawk's not-so-large success can be contributed to many people that made this all happen!
-> Mr. Scripture, who reads the comics every single day with us in the morning! That man has got passion!
-> Our affiliates, we still have to get the links up to them again!
-> All the fans that supported us! (FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND THE RANDOM READERS WHO WE WOULD
LOVE TO HEAR FROM!)
-> Roshan! For lending photoshop to us! Without him, we'd be pencil drawn and paint!
-> Our school, for picking Mr. Mohawk as the cover of our Jr. High yearbook!
-> Everyone and everything else that I forgot to thank, you mean so much to us
-
Hopefully Mr. Mohawk will one day be a household name, like Tony the Tiger or Charlie Brown ... and seeing our success in the past year, I'm not so sure that that's ONLY wishful thinking!
Here's to many more years of greatness:
