You know how most superheroes can actually do something useful to improve the world? Spudman isn't one of those heroes. Not even close in fact.
Our tale begins as he awakens to find his body inexplicably changed into that of a potato. His only apparent power is the ability to keep getting killed again and again. After a surreal encounter with a wise pig farmer he decides to become the world's greatest champion.
However, heroes are not born, they are made - albeit not usually out of potato. And so our hero sets off on a crusade to discover his purpose in this mixed up superficial world. The Mundane Overrated Adventures of Spudman is a mystical journey that spans continents, encompass entire nations, involves dynamic swordfights, beautiful women and all the other staples of a Hollywood blockbuster. An epic quest which will change the way we live our lives forever!
Well... maybe.
Spudman lives!

Love it. Thats just great hope you continue it.
Hi Edward,
Funny you should mention that. Spudman will now be appearing over at Shadowline webcomics starting around December I think.
Hope you'll follow us over...and I'm glad you're enjoying it so far :)
This was absolutely brilliant! Great humor, great art, great everything! Man, wish this had won. Is this going to continue elsewhere?
you were so close! Ahhhrrrgggg! You had my vote the whole way! Best of luck in the future
Just keeps getting better!! Nice work
Nice work
I liked it a lot
enjoyed the comic, it´s very funny.
:)
It's the 30th - Vote has been moved to Spudman!
Good luck - though I will admit I won't be sad if Re-Evolution wins, either.... I'm so conflicted!
We love Spudman!!!!
Come on Spudman!!
Take back the no.1 spot!!!!
Rory! Make a comic about Albi the racist dragon! that was one funny dragon, sigh, memories
Need more Spudman
Need more Spudman
Need more Spudman
I like this, but wish you had more space to develop it. Felt like quite often there were panels you left out, as if you'd written a much longer book, then took out a third of the story to fit the constraints imposed.
But it's cute and funny.
diggin this more this time around, but methinks maknbacon would be betteroff with a more subdues choice of colors, because the art and story are already bringing bold and garish to the party
I cried great potatoey tears of laughter while reading this
A fun funny piece of comic brilliance!
Great work. Really cool to meet you at ComicCon!
Hilarious... Great work all around!
Brilliant piece of work
Preety amazing, indeed!!!
Fans of Elvis Impersonators Unite! :)
I really like this! It's funny and the art in nicly done! Good work!!
I laughed while reading this, even with no one else in the room. That's always the bench mark for something that's truly funny.
I think I voted! lol
Congratulations Rory! Looks like this is the first time a comic I've voted for is actually in the top spot! Yay!
funny stuff Rory you had a great comic before and the top notch level of Spud didn't drop off. Spudman dies again, I like it reminds me of my fav south park character. You had some really funny jokes and sight gags. Superman's parents -funny line, and seeing Spud's interactions with his parents added to an understanding of his character, in addition to the humor of all the kids and the Elvis wannabe. The apple juice puddle, or something else for professor inferno, very funny. Bringing in the next Badguy in the last screen the set-up to that kind of reminded me of seeing the joker card at the end of Batman begins, meaning a set-up to his arch rival. His relations to the police, and PI reaction to them shooting him in the head (not to mention the sour cream bit) very funny and very well done. My only little nit-pick you had Spud telling the story to his parents, a was a little confused to see the next screen after screen 8 with Spud in his best hero poise, out of costume at his parents house. If you had went from that to Spud being tied up I think it would have been a little funnier and the transition would have been better, but just a little nit pick -really.
**************************************************************
Art/colors was and is very impressive. The art's great, and I think the colors really fit well. All the different creators and their parts in this story come together well.
************************************************************
Good for you on getting some white star leaguers out and about to vote for you.

My vote for this month is with another comic, but i did vote to see you back here in the ZI, and I'm glad you made it in again.
This is a really funny read! good job!
Congrats on taking the no.1 spot!
Dear Zuda Competitors/Creators,
I recently started a Zuda fan blog, and I would love to interview all of this month’s creators. If you would be willing to answer 5-10 questions, to be posted on the Zudafan blog, please contact me at: zudafan@gmail.com (if you haven’t already) .
Feel free to check out the blog: zudafan.blogspot.com
Thanks!
Nicely drawn. Funny animated characters with great expressions.
I take all your points on board Rory. I wouldn't even begin to suggest a rip-off, but you know how everything is always like something else somewhere. I was comparing you to my heroes Steve Gerber and Gene Colan - I'm sure you can take that on the chin? Great effort marketing btw - everyone else's favorites have moved up a notch (ten maybe twenty) and yours have doubled (a hundred & eighty maybe)! That's quite a technique you've got going there.
A fine piece of work, this. Great gags and great cartooning to boot. Congrats on the top spot, fellas :)
Whoa! First Place! Congratulations Spud Man! Keep it up!
Woah...looks like we've got some new blood around these parts...
Thanks to everyone(Her Majesty, Charlton, Granny96,Ridiculoso, SandwichCutter, TheDude, Purple Rubber Ducky, ashtied, PatRic, mouthwash, Chadhurd, Young Justice,Seedy Leaf, Mystic Pete, TheDoc,DOC, byrnee, Jeaph, zoemc and everyone else who has voted!)
Thanks Steve and Josh for the congrats. And Rob, don't worry I take no offence (hope we've got your vote)
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY....WE'RE NO.1!!!!!!!
Count the whitestars, people! No intended offense to the quality of this comic (it's top-notch and always has been) but getting fresh eyeballs DOES create momentum in the ranking.
Congratulations on the hard work, guys. Keep that energy rolling!
-Rob
Ditto! Congrats on taking the week 2 lead!

The 2nd section was amazing(not saying the 1st wasn't good but this just kicked it all up a notch)
I sense the beginning of the great Spud odyssey.
Great art and humor. You've got my vote and respect.
Finally! Something that puts the fun back in comics
I like this, Nice artwork, lots of humor, Great entry and good luck to you!
This is my favorite of the bunch
