Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Adventures of Joe the Circle was an early Science Fiction Web Comic by Mike Shapiro. Originally printed in Shapiro's college newspaper in the early '90s, it first appeared online in 1995. It followed the adventures of Joe, a violent, gun-toting circle, along with his companions: Ronnie, an even-tempered triangle; Bob the Boobian, a dimwitted . . . thing with a gaping maw and limited vocabulary; Franko, a clairaudient flying fish; and Bert Smert, a laid-back gearhead who provided the crew's transportation.The comic was rather crudely drawn, but made up for it with freewheeling storylines, goofy humor, and extremely quotable dialogue. Most of the comics can be found at www.joe-the-circle.com, with a few older issues accessible through archive.org.Incidentally, you may have encountered Shapiro's work in another form. He's a composer in Real Life, providing music for films and Video Games, at least one of which can be found on This Very Wiki.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) |

Ancient Artifact: The Pickle of Power. Later, the Soulwhomper of Klaaaarr, an ancient artifact with unspecified (but apparently godlike) powers. I thought it was the Soulwhomper of Cheese! |

Taken Up to Eleven by Bob's stomach, which contains an entire alternate dimension. This is a normal feature for his species. |

Adventurer Archaeologist: Mattock Blork the Hexagon is presented as one, but is actually after the Soulwhomper of Klaaaarr for the power it confers. |
