pokey - definition of pokey in Encyclopedia (395 words) |
 | Pokey the Penguin is a surrealistic online comic strip, which began in 1998 and continues to be updated (albeit sporadically) to this day. |
| The art has been described as resembling "the drawings of a four-year old with a short-attention span and poor motor control"; the dialogue, by contrast, 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. |
