History

Blockhead was first created in 1992, when William Swain was in 5th Grade. Blockhead started out as a doodle, but he soon evolved into recognizeable form. William says he used the character to mock his art tallents in front of his friends, but Blockhead started to grow.

The first comic revolves around Blockhead being attacked by a pack of dogs and falling into pieces, he then tries to recover his limbs. By the useage of saliva, Blockhead gets all his appendages back.


In middle school spanish class, Blockhead took on the character he is today. Blockhead actually helped William Swain through spanish class, his adventures streched from prison to school to even outer space. But his house usually stayed at the center of his idiocy, William Swain kept drawing, then put the comic away, until he went to high school, he thought it was time to grow up.

However, when he got there, he managed three years without Blockhead. But in 1999, Will brought out Blockhead once again, he proceded to draw ten comics in two weeks. By then, Will had created a totally unique world that combined an adult sense of humor with drawings to make a bland world with the most obnoxious character ever, William then put Blockhead away one more time.


But once again, in 2005, Will decided to learn Macromedia Flash. His goal was to create a superhero world with original characters with his friend, Dan Ashe. But Will needed practice, and that practice was Blockhead. Blockhead has become very popular on Newgrounds and has currently 6 episodes, with another in production. However, Blockhead hasn't taken a backseat to the superhero comic, which is still in production.
