Early Castle Funnies sketches.

The Castlefunnies is the extremely unfunny old comic strip written by Lem Sportsinterviews and Levert Burtmore. The plot revolves around The King of Town complaining to his Poopsmith.

Since it was a form of treason at the time to print the word "poop," The Poopsmith was referred to as "Mushy Chamberpot", which might have been the funniest part of the comic. "Mushy" spoke using only the newly-discovered comma, in similarity to the Peanuts character Woodstock. At the time, this was considered comedic gold.

Readership was low, and several attempts to gain popularity were tried. A crossover involving Strong Bad and Homestar Runner worked until the sole remaining reader, a Civil War veteran and creamed corn enthusiast, died. Later, a "King Castlefunny Pencil Moistener" was released, but sales were low, as the Dry Pencil Scare of '47 lasted only three days.
