Nutty, an alcoholic British snowman and capitalist The characters are as innumerable as the plots are inscrutable. As of 2018, a second author, Nat Sowinski of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, began contributing to the comic's writing.
In discussions and message boards dedicated to Pokey, Havelka revealed that Pokey was originally intended as a parody of another MS Paint comic about a penguin. The author is in fact open source developer Steve Havelka of Portland, Oregon, whose identity became public during Pokey's early years. The comic does not name its creator, attributing each comic only to "THE AUTHORS". Two animated Pokey adventures (which originally appeared in 2002) have been released into the " Hall of Whimsy", which also suggests forthcoming availability of Pokey shirts and a book. The comic introduced the expression "Chicago-style", meaning "without pants". NUTTY, EVERYONE IS YOUR FRIEND! ! !" Most strips lack clear punch lines. The strip's dialogue is surreal and often peppered with obscure allusions illustrative quotes include "HERE ON RUM ISLAND WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN RUM!" and "IN MEAT-SPACE, MR. Sentences often end without punctuation, or end with multiple exclamation marks or question marks, usually separated by spaces. The typeface is exclusively Courier, is italicized by shifting pixels of each successive horizontal row further to the left, and is never anti-aliased. Pokey the Penguin's lettering consists entirely of italicized capitals. Some words are left misspelled, such as " haggas". The comic strips are filled with visible corrections: some words are crossed out, while images are occasionally scribbled over. Most minor characters are exact copies of Pokey -the various "Chicken" characters are not chickens, but ordinary penguins, and the "Bear" is merely a brown penguin the "Dinosaur" a green penguin. The comic has been described as resembling "the ramblings of a deranged child". The artwork has rough pixelated edges, jagged lines, and few colors (the hallmarks of Microsoft Paint drawings), and characters are almost always copied and pasted after their first appearance. Pokey's artistic style is deliberately crude, even childish. In the first strip, Pokey is described as an "educational children's cartoon". The Italians are usually represented by a ship on the horizon flying the Italian flag an actual Italian was seen for the first time in a comic posted in late February 2008. His main antagonists are the Italians, whom Pokey suspects of intending to steal his Arctic Circle-Candy (which grows in the Arctic). He is accompanied by several recurring characters, of which the "Little Girl" is the most commonly seen. Pokey lives in the Arctic, unlike most penguins, which live in the Southern Hemisphere.
