Staccato Staccato is a comic strip and webcomic written and drawn by Handyside. Staccato is currently published on its own web site, and in several newspapers including the Manchester Mirror, Concord Mirror, and Salem Observer. It has also been published in 168 magazine and Artistic Vibrations magazine. The first official strip was published in print and on the web in 1997, however some strips featuring members of the cast in print date even farther back. The website underwent a change in July 2008. The first and primary website is where the first 231 comics are archived. Part of the comics archived on the old site are not truly 'Staccato' style. They are called Fork You by Handyside himself. Without these, there are only 226 strips. Several are hosted by other webcomic creators on their sites. The new site is the improved version hosting newly made comics made by Handyside. The story revolves around a recent college graduate, his college roommates, a talking basketball who plays GameCube and an evil 90 MHz computer trying to enslave humanity. Strips are usually presented in horizontal four panel format and in full color. Originally, the prints were made in black and white, but the and onward were created and published in color. Halolz.com Halolz.com is a video-game-related picture site where viewers can send Shawn video game screenshots and captions that have a comical nature. The site has over 2500 submissions. This is what is posted under the site's 'About' tab. HALOLZ… your premiere source for humorous video game captions! What is it? Well, it’s sort of a bunch of video game screenshots with humorous captions. Despite the name referencing to the video game Halo, it revolves more around whatever game is recent and whatever captions Shawn finds humorous. It is updated at least once a day. One of the site's traditions is to pull an April Fool's Day prank. From 2008 to 2010, the worst submissions are posted as part of "April Fail's Day." On April 1, 2011, Shawn "changed" the site to Kratlolz in reference to the advice memes starring Kratos from the God of War series. For April 1, 2012, the site was changed to LoLLoLZ in reference to the game League of Legends.
