The NSA couldn’t find him. MI6 gave up in despair. Even geographic legend Carmen Sandiego had no idea where in the world he was.
But where they failed, the unstoppable might and devastatingly good taste of the Comma-reading horde has prevailed:
(Editor’s note: The grey one has disappeared once again into the ether, proof again that talent is the internet’s most illusive quality. But don’t let that dissuade you, please continue on reading and relive the joy of his one-time return as best as you can.)
In an event sure to sweep the dusty corridors of the blogosphere for years to come, the beloved animator has shown his grey countenance in public once again.
The ramifications of this discovery are numerous and great, but the most significant are:
No more lonely days.
No more tearful nights.
No more pathetic illustrations by the author.
And as proof that this adversity has indeed made us stronger, at least in the field of slime-ridden protagonists, allow me to introduce the community’s newest fabricated personality:
Jeremy the Feisty Jello Fungus (courtesy of Pope Terry)
Yes the dream has become a reality. Jeremy has arrived, and in a surprising display of marketing promptitude, he has come with his own line of apparel.
So pat yourselves on the back if you can reach, if not rub up against a wall, because thanks to you the world is once again safe to laugh at.
Don’t take my word for it. Even the perpetually petulant Doctor Harold Toboggans was mildly pleased at this stunning accomplishment.

Amazing results from the Comma readership. Have you thought about using this power for good? Some of us are still wondering what happened to Amelia Earhart, Jimmy Hoffa and MC Hammer.
Jeremy looks like the sort of fungus that likes to prey on unsuspecting underaged spores.
The line of apparel is great, but how do you wear a coffee cup?
Anybody have any salt?
The coffee mug is a very nifty head garment. It is especially helpful during quick burst of directed downpours.
I think Lynn’s squirrel would love a new feisty playmate like Jeremy.
(Make sure that mushroom looks just like an acorn!)
Err- uh… did anyone hear that?
I loved the audio file. You have such wonderful ways of entertaining your readership.
By the way, I looked for Spooky and couldn’t find him. Who actually found him? He hasn’t signed into BlogCatalog for two months now. Is he happy to have been found?
Yep, the audio file is great.
By the way, Brent, you’ve been tagged! To learn how to participate, please visit my blog at http://gratefullyabnormal.blogspot.com/2008/01/tagged-for-first-time.html and read the post entitled “Tagged for the First Time!”
I was tagged by Barbara at Spirited Strider and did the exercise and it was quite fun and I learned something as well. :)
Let me know what you come up with. I’m sure that it will be a lot of fun!!
Generally the way to wear a coffee mug is to have one thrown at you by an angry spouse… domestic violence aside the other way would indeed be to be a moose.
Insider Trading Alert:
For those of you who are not following this insipid exchange of attempted jokes, here is synopsis of many months of commenting nausea:
Lynn has a squirrel. (imaginary)
Chris Non-C has a Tea Cup Moose (imaginary)
Brent has a life. (imaginary)
I have a migraine (expensive for my clients)
Now we can all laugh along in patronizing amusement.
That will be $2375.00 for Cognative Decongestion. Each.
Congrats to the ominous horde. Well done. Interestingly enough, a few months ago I found my bank account had been debited $2375.00 and now there’s a squirrel outside that keeps knocking on the door asking me for a tea cup. Aw, it’s probably nothing.
I don’t know why but the more I see Jeremy, the more he looks more like a Pepe to me.
He also slightly reminds me of Jesus.(That would be my taco truck guy Jesus, not ‘the’ Jesus, of course)
Yah! First Dan comes back now Spooky!
It’s just like one of those movies where they get the band back together.
@Frogster: As long as he isn’t singing ‘Rock Me Gently’ I wouldn’t worry about that squirrel.
This Jeremy character certainly does not look he is a fun guy to be with!
Ha-ha-ha!
Oh dear. I fear I have embarrassed myself again.
I have embarrassed myself twice now, on account of my awful sentence construction.
You are never an embarrassment my Lord!!!
I don’t know about the first two, but we launched Hammer and his entourage into Canada with giant trebuchet.
Well, if you’re a moose….
I wonder if anyone has set up a fungiphile hotline? I’m not making any accusations of course, but just it never hurts to be prepared.
Actually, it might hurt to be prepared if you happen to be a duck, or a ham,…or a mushroom.
I’ll have to check the Geneva convention and other relevant documents, but that just might have been an act of war.
I hope you’re prepared for the Great White Onslaught.
Fungiphile? Brent you have me laughing hysterically…
Especially if you have a small cranium.
That sound was the insidious scraping of mutant jello fungi, malevolently clawing their way out of their evil lair, deep in shadowy recesses of your refrigerator.
Either that or your tea’s ready.
My squirrel likes jell-o, but I don’t think fungi jell-o is the same thing. Maybe a new playmate for the fungi would be better.
I don’t drink tea so it must be…
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spoonerine I need your help!
He turned himself in at the bottom of yesterday’s comments. I suppose I need to send him a DVD for finding himself.
But then again, self discovery is rewarding in and of itself.
Or so I’m told.
I think teriyaki would be the proper condiment for a fungus of Jeremy’s culinary potential.
But then again, he appears to be smiling.
Thank you Jonathan, but is it greater than three?
Sorry, I’m on my coffee break right now, but since I don’t drink coffee I’ll have to find some tea.
And a cup.
This might take a while so don’t wait up for me.
Now I’m laughing hysterically.
Yeah I had that coming…(see below)
Great, it would be a perfect gift for Dr. T.
I’m getting the here’s your sign glare from my moose. Indeed, I should have known……. I just might end up wearing in the fashion you describe, except TCM will be the one throwing it.
An act of war? Maybe, but come on, its just Canada.
I had no idea he could turn a violent antler towards you like that.
I forgot to mention that the doctor thanks you for your perceptive acknowledgment of his superiority and general amazitude,
I don’t usually meme, but this one looks to me right down my alley.
As long as it doesn’t have any armed accomplices hidden behind the dumpster, we should be fine.
Please excuse the doctor, he woke up on the wrong side of consciousness today.
But do you feel less congested?
You have a taco truck guy? How do you go about acquiring one of those?
(Insert high price of gas joke here.)
Only when I miss the glaringly obvious…. or if I forget to bring home the chocolate.
