The site, www.room931.com, was taken down sometime in 2008, circa two years after the last strip was posted--which itself was only posted after a six month lapse, as [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in said final strip. Once upon a time, it also shared a forum site with ZeldaComic at inksandwich.com.

''Vacuumland, 1996'': An inexplicable accident of chance creates a sentient vacuum with an attitude. His name is Spelling.
The first five 'chapters' were plotted out as part of a larger arc centered on the prophecy of the Errant One and Bono the Cat's ambition to TakeOverTheWorld. The sixth introduced a new old nemesis of Stooge's with a grudge, and the seventh involved TimeTravel before the author got sick of that dragging on and [[AbortedArc swerved abruptly]] in a different direction.

Tropes:
* AbortedArc: Right in the middle of the action.
* AchillesHeel: Villain Ray's weakness is the fact that his powers are powered by self-esteem.
* ActionGirl: The Jew.
* ArtEvolution: Lampshaded in a fight during the TimeTravel arc... unrelatedly to the TimeTravel, though. "Did the author just change the art style ''again?''"
* AuthorAppeal: Lampshaded by Stooge during his short OutOfClothesExperience: "I dunno, probably just an excuse so the author can draw me naked."
* BackFromTheDead: As well as ToHellAndBack.
* CameBackWrong: Bono's sexuality switched orientations.
* CampGay: Bono, to his own horror, after his return from the dead.
* TheChosenOne: Spelling is The Errant One.
* DidNotDoTheResearch: Played with, somehow, when the characters visit Guam, and immediately determine that the author knows nothing about the real Guam.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Jew doesn't seem to have another name; neither does The Convert (who, incidentally, converted to Judaism.)
* EvilOverlord: Bono.
* FreudWasRight: The "resemblance," according to readers, of the antenna-thingy on the author-mouthpiece's head to a penis was used for a joke once.
** His name is ''Nub''. It was a foregone conclusion.
* GrammarNazi: The Fairy of Good Grammar.
* ItsPopularNowItSucks: Conversationally described by Stooge in an early strip.
* LightningCanDoAnything: Spelling's birth, from the union of the super-intelligence of a Mr. Spell machine, and the body of a vacuum.
* LiteralGenie: The frog statue, in "Look, It's Vaguely Like Ghostbusters." Genie-free, non-wish-granting magical loophole example: Fairy wands can only be wielded by fairies, but the definition of 'fairy' includes the homophobic slur.
* NoFourthWall
* OutOfClothesExperience
* ReligionIsMagic: Specifically, Judaism = superpowers.
* TerminatorTwosome: The AbortedArc.
