Author
The comic does not name its creator, attributing each comic only to "THE AUTHORS". The author is in fact web developer Steve Havelka of Portland, Oregon, whose identity became public during Pokey's early years. 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. Havelka's name appears in the 483rd Pokey strip, in which Pokey exclaims, "STEVE HAVELKA IS DEAD! ! !"
