About the Series
The Misadventures of Pot is a comic series detailing the misadventures of the little sentient potato known as Pot. He's somehow managed to find himself smack dab in the middle of a lot of notable events throughout history. He’s brushed elbows with a lot of the key figures we have all read about in our textbooks. He's a curious little fellow with a true heart of gold...and not just because of all the french fries he consumes—admittedly an odd guilty pleasure. He doesn’t mean to, but he has a penchant for mischief and misfortune. No matter how bad or out of hand a situation gets, more times than not, it eventually works out. A true testament to patience and determination. Or a nod to Einstein’s definition of insanity! Pot is a true friend to the end!
The idea came to Pot’s creator after a long and grueling day of school. They started to doodle and had soon discovered...him! Accidental chaos embodied in the form of a russet potato. From then on, the only thing to give them the strength to continue on during the grueling work days was a little spud with limbs, facial features, and a collar & leash.
After that first drawing, images of Pot began appearing on every piece of paper they could find, one of the earliest still resides on the front of our fridge. From the inspiration of that drawing, Pot took on a life of his own as every detail concerning the little Spud’s existence, from personality to life story, was painstakingly fleshed out; this all culminating into the colorful, lovable russet we have today!
Is your interest piqued? Would you like to dive into Pot’s Misadventures to hear the “real” stories chronicling the little Tuber’s experiences? Want to get the real scoop on exactly what took place with some of the most consequential and influential people to have ever graced the planet? All of this told straight from the mouth of “he who lived it,” and only the way a true master story teller can deliver? Well, we thought so! Believe us when we say this is better than mashed potatoes! To Pot it really is...nothing beat fries in his eyes!
Meet The Gang
Pot is the leader of an elite group of potatoes, The Seven Man Army. They are comprised of an ancient race of immortal spuds known as Rustarians. He’s been around for a very long time and crossed paths with many influential people across mankind’s existence.
Au Gratin is the man, er...potato with a plan; especially in terms of reconnaissance and the world of all things that involve espionage. He isn't much help in the muscle area, but he is the brains. No one in the group can blend in better with aristocrats and snobby elites and more importantly, extract information. His biggest weakness is his affinity for silk top hats.
Hash is a quiet potato. But don't mistake that for a sign of weakness...he's mighty powerful in termms of strength, and even bigger at heart. He's the main medical potato, even when it can mean tough calls. Just don't cross his friends or he'll show why he wears an executioners mask!
Shoestring is the Drill Sergeant of the group. He's there to keep everyone in line and keep things cool when it gets intense. He cares for his brothers (and sister) in arms, thus why he gives them tough love so they keep their cool and survive. He never leaves home without his trusty coconut helmet. You never know when a coconut may fall. They can be lethal.
Curly is first and foremost a warrior. But she's really great at being a medic. She's also a part-time therapist and helps Hash, especially with the more gruesome issues that trouble him. She's the gal to call when you need a quick opening to allow the muscle to get through. She's indespensible on the front lines and especially adept at confusing and disorienting enemy forces.
Spud is the ball of energy. He is the original, way before the enegizer bunny. He often wears Shoestring down, who is always trying to get him to plan before launching into action. Spud says the thinking can come later, after he's done with the doing. Spud doesn't know what fear is - always the first in line when that extreme new coaster opens up. He's also the potato to call when you need to clean your gutters or when you drop your keys into that small cave system while you were out hiking.
Tate and Tater are twins - the brothers are the brawn and muscle of the group. Known for their quick work - to put it succinctly, they get in, then out. They credit their power to being a couple of farm potatoes - stamina built running after chickens and loading hay bales. Two main ways to tell them apart - Tater would rather be found dead than to leave without his hat. But you'll rarely see these two apart - they go practically everywhere together.
Crinkle usually doesn't have a lot to say, he let's his actions do the talking. When you need muscle, Crinkle is your potato. Need something knocked down? He's got it. Someone injured friend needs to be resued? He always finds a way to get it done. When Crinkle gets separated from the group, he's easy to find thanks to his salivation problem. What? At least it's not a yellow trail!
