The first originally part of a series of jokes among his roommates at the Massachusetts College of Art, was a dog Blammo, made following a failed attempt to introduce a puppy to the dorm. Other characters were created later such as Oogleeoog, part of a failed submission to comic distributors and finally the eponymous Electric Girl.
