Wilson was at home with strep throat and had doodled some comics. On his DeviantArt profile page, he notes that he 'created Cyanide & Happiness in 2004 because I can't help but draw stupid looking characters to spew out my stupid ideas.' He showcased his comics on his Comicaze website, [ ] and then on Sticksuicide.com, 'a website devoted to animations and games graphically depicting the violent deaths of stick figures', which was founded by Rob DenBleyker in 2004. Meanwhile, DenBleyker and Matt Melvin had been working on projects where they 'made bad stick figure death movies together after posting their stuff at.com back in around 1999 and 2000.' The forum's webmasters, including DenBleyker, Melvin, and Dave McElfatrick (who joined Sticksuicide) liked the format of Wilson's comics. Melvin said, 'When we decided to branch off from just stick figure death movies and do something more with the site, we started Explosm and brought Kris on board.' Wilson and the webmasters then collaborated on the comics, where each person would contribute content. One of the earliest Cyanide & Happiness comics, #15, was posted by Wilson on Explosm.net on January 26, 2005. A variant of the comic's title is first mentioned in #121, in which one character sells cotton candy, and explains that it is made of 'Cyanide & Happyness' [sic], after which the other character replies: 'Happyness!?!? I'll take 4'. Production [ ]. Rob DenBleyker and background artist Shawn Coss, Toronto, 2012 Development [ ] The cartoonists started out in different locations: In 2006, DenBleyker was a college student. Wilson lived in, Melvin in, and McElfatrick in, Northern Ireland. They would also use Skype for occasional collaboration.
