The Mushroom Mafia
A History
First of all, you're probably wondering to yourself, just what is the Mushroom Mafia?  Well, the unofficial Oxford definition is...

A special organization under the financial support of a family of portabella mushrooms. The mafia is equipped with an array of lethal fruits, vegetables, and produce and wage war against all things... wrong with this world. That includes, crazed teenage fan girls, communists, and rival groups which try to surpass the mafia's greatness.

The history of the Mushroom Mafia really begins back in the school year of 1997-98.  During the very first of our short lived spelling lessons in grade five our teacher, Mr. Nash decided that for a class activity we would make up a story using our spelling words (all of which contained the combination "oi" somewhere in the word).  This story ended up involving Mr. Nash exploring a haunted house in which he was attacked by the mutant Grade Five Gifted zombies who were going to "boil" him in a pot of "oil."  Their plan was thwarted however by the arrival of the Ninja Chickens who not only saved the teacher but became forever emblazoned in the hearts of everyone in that class.

The Ninja Chickens, while fading into the background for several years were not forgotten.  Their day would soon come.  And come it did, one evening in the school year of 2001-02 while some friends and I were making the best of our spare time by talking to each other... on the Internet.  We had all recently taken to spending our lunch hour and a half passing around pieces of paper and writing down one mystery sentence at a time until we came up with a story (often with very weird results).  So, Cyril, Chantal and I decided to create another story like that over the Internet.  It involved clowns and peach trees at first, but soon the Ninja Chickens were brought in again.  Chantal decided we needed a proper name for all of this... something delicious which we could sit back in plush velvety chairs and smoke our pipes about.  The decision was unanimous: we were now the Mushroom Mafia.

With members in over three different continents and our numbers growing all the time, one day our flags will fly in dominance from every capitol of every country in the world!  But until then, we're content to make comics and low budget cartoons all of which are contained here at the moment!

Preliminary Sketches
These are the drawings/doodles which started it all.  Most of these were done by myself in class but there are some little snippets by my friends where noted. It is recommended you look at these first to get an understanding of the characters before moving on.

The First Comic... Ever
The only reason this is being posted here is because it is in fact the very first comic ever created featuring the Mushroom Mafia characters.  It's not very funny however though, as it was done for an assignment in my Grade Nine religion class.  With that said please note that the following comic contains Roman Catholic Religious material and may not coincide with your personal beliefs.

The First Official Comic
This is what I personally consider to be the MM's first work.  It has no moral value to it, nor does it have a very valid plot line.  It's merely a colourful and humorous comic featuring a mad Beetle Bailey look-alike bent on taking over the world with an army of peanuts, and a poor impaired Japanese chef desperately trying to finish his cooking show.  Complete with spontaneously combusting squirrels and low budget sound effects!
