This began when Tumblr artist, under the URL of mysticbaconslice, drew a short 7 page comic out of sheer boredom (http://mysticbaconslice.tumblr.com/tagged/this-is-what-happened). The comic has no true meaning and was merely a joke, but one of the images closely resembled Handsome Squidward and began to fill Tumblr with random captions using the picture. Soon enough, the artist changed their profile picture to the Scott Face as more comics were made, pasting Scott's overly handsome face over others, such as an Old Spice commercial ad.

The original comic was about hairspray, and how Scott has a special type of hair spray all for himself. Vincent, Rebornica's version of the purple guy from FNaF 2, brings in a box of hairspray and him and Scott begin to make abstract faces. Soon, everything (including a post on zodiac signs) had a picture of Handsome Scott instead of the original picture. Mysticbaconslice says that they deeply regret (but is proud of) that comic, and what mayhem it's caused.
