Pokey the Penguin is altogether the only webcomic that can be brought up in casual conversation without being detrimental to the referee. Due to the internal conflict with the doggerel nature of its premise, coupled with its profuse and sincere experimentation with form and style, Pokey the Penguin moves the goalpost for webcomics whenever Steve Havelka improves it. Since its inception it has juggled the plates of plasticity in the artistic sphere and complete a complete lack of the hideous stylized aesthetics that pervades other productions in this low artform. Thankfully, research into a particular marketplace for Pokey the Penguin as a product over another market is of no concern to the author, who has removed every possibility for the webcomic to lose its errant whimsy by channelling all residual professionalism or urge to make a living into his financial tech startup. The perfection of its concept also allows for the creation of ever-more-esoterric duplicates or fanzines which stand on their own and aren't foiled by being by their nature derivative works. Any criticism of Pokey the Penguin would have to pass by an obfuscation of its own self-destructive ideation and graffiti-like "unheard voice", which demands nothing of the viewer, and which may be viewed through the much more serious lens of internet realestate vandalism to terrorize people into a quiet or dismissive reaction of the website's contents. What remains, then, is a springboard for every concept in surreal storytelling imaginable to the layman's mind and then some, expressed through the visual style of smears in cake icing.
