Quake Park
Published 11/11/1998The journey began with the pioneering SWF file that introduced the world to Quake Park. The original lineup of characters, appearing in order, consisted of Sonic Reducer, Shaka Zulu, Hookaman (as Glennie), and Johnny Leche. At the time, Macromedia Flash 3 had just been released, and I was leveraging its capabilities to create animated shorts, including the memorable a href="http://www.dohnetwork.com/amazingbarry/">Amazing Barry.
The DOH! Network facilities served as the hub for several small LAN gatherings, regularly attended by Sonic Reducer and Shaka Zulu. These events featured hours of Quake and Quake II, accompanied by a healthy dose of competitive banter among participants. The creation of the Quake Park movie was conceived as a humorous way to highlight Sonic Reducer's antics on a global stage.
While Hookaman had primarily been a Nascar and Command & Conquer enthusiast and had largely stepped away from the gaming scene by this point, I decided to include him as a fourth character in the project to round out the cast. Thus, Quake Park became a landmark project, blending creativity, technology, and friendly rivalry into an unforgettable production.
Quake Park 2
Published 04/23/1999In 1999, Sonic Reducer, Shaka Zulu, and Johnny Leche reunited for the highly anticipated follow-up to Quake Park. This sequel brought the crew directly into the game world, adding an exciting new dimension to the series. The original vision was to release new installments on a monthly basis, providing ongoing adventures for the fans.
However, with the commencement of Project Baby Leche, priorities shifted, and Quake Park was subsequently discontinued. Despite its premature conclusion, the project remains a testament to creativity and innovation within the gaming and animation communities.

Reboot
Published 03/06/2002When the DOH! Network initially launched, egrep generously provided the original server for the project. Along with hosting the network, the server also contained some of his own web content. One evening, the server unexpectedly stopped responding. While it wasn't technically the middle of the night when he called to address the issue, I believe I was already in bed at the time. This moment highlights the challenges and occasional unpredictability of maintaining early online platforms.
It seems that during this time, Shaka was managing multiple jobs but still found the opportunity to humorously tease you about not producing enough Quake Park comics. This playful dynamic adds a personal and relatable layer to the story, showcasing the camaraderie and shared humor within the group, even amid busy schedules.
WTF
Published 03/25/2003The humor in this comic stems from two distinct elements. First, an earlier remark by Grumpy Girl noting the resemblance between Subotai and Frankie Muniz serves as a humorous callback. Second, in an unrelated twist, Grapple is depicted as a cheese puff, adding an unexpected and whimsical layer of comedy to the narrative. These eccentric contrasts and playful references contribute to the comic's charm and appeal.
