About

No, Joe No! is a multi-pane exploitable based on a stick figure comic strip featuring Joe and Sally. While the author behind original comic remains in search, the blank template has spawned an extensive pool of derivatives on popular gaming communities like GamesFAQ and GameSpot, as well as on 4chan’s /v/ board.


Popularity: Super Smash Brothers Brawl Forums

On April, the 27th 2008, a GameFAQ user “Shadow Light Master” created a canonical battle thread in the site’s Super Smash Bros. forums, titled Ultimate Canonical Battle Topic, Explained with comics. Ness and Lucas lose:

The last one is my version of some guy’s comic, it explains everything. The first two ARE NOT by me.

Zombie_Montage: This is going to be exploitabled to hell and back. (4/26/2008 11:07:12 PM)

The thread and the comic template quickly took off and eventually made its way over to GameSpot’s SSBB forums, where it spawned 25 pages worth of derivatives and comments. Both threads on GameFAQs and GameSpot remained active for months before they were archived. The exploitable also spread to 4chan’s /v/ board (as early as in August 2008).

Ok. Looks like it started on Super Smash Bros Brawl or Melee forums and then went to 4chan’s /v/ board.
I’m not lucky, I miss it when it get reposted there.

Does anybody have any damn clue or hint about the origin of the first template, by any chance ?
I can’t find anything prior to april 2008 but there must be something before this, on 4chan or around.

Well we can safely assume that the comic is from 2008 because that when Super Smash Brothers Brawl was released.

Also, you won’t find much before April 28 because the game was released in North America on March 9 2008. The earliest of english speaking lands.

It was released in Japan in January 2008 but the comic really doesn’t seem Japanese.

Ok, yes, you’re totally right. What I meant is to find anything between March 2008 (and maybe January because 4chan is a lot involved in japanese things, if they are the true starters of this comic strip) and April 2008 that can be the first comic ever made of that kind.
Many people stated that it came first from 4chan but I couldn’t confirm it, for i haven’t find anything related to it.

What I first find in april the 27th isn’t the first instance, that’s what I’m sure of.

Hey, other admins.

I seriously think this should be confirmed with or without the origin.

Agreeing with Blubber here. The original thread may have never been archived, so finding the origin will be somewhat impossible. Hey, it happens.

@mudkip-mand

I don’t mean to be rude but are you sure that one is a No Joe No?

It doesn’t feature any of the original exploitables. So I am wondering where you got that image.
