Apparently, I was very confused about Volume 1 of The Adventures of Sprinkles the Psychotic Moose. I had always thought that I was missing one comic...and I could remember having drawn it very vividly in my mind. I remembered who was in it, what happened, the whole shebang...but I could never find it. Eventually, it got to the point where I no longer knew for sure if I had ever drawn the thing...
Cut to 2009. I'm at my parents house sifting through all my boyhood crapola...looking for something very specific and not finding it. I grab a clear plastic box and open the top, and there staring at me is the missing issue of Sprinkles. But it's not #12, it's #13. Amazing! Now I have 2 missing comics! I quickly grab it and start rifling thru and sure enough, it's the exact comic I remembered drawing. But something was still bothering me...where was issue #12 and also...
I thought I remembered that it was issue 10 or 11 that had been missing, not 12 or 13. So I went to the old site, and sure enough...it was #10 I had claimed was missing...huh?
So I snagged the box and started going through it. I soon come upon issue 12. I dig some more and come upon issue 10. And now, finally, I can see the whole story after something like 12 years.
And what's even stranger is, I have had an unfinished comic sitting around that helped the haunting continue all those years. It seemed to continue where I thought I had left off with #13. So sure enough, not only are there 13 old AOSTPM comics, but an actual 14th I never finished.
Phew, that was confusing. No wonder whenever I would think about this, I would get this nagging itch inside that was telling me something wasn't right. My brain can finally rest after all these years.
