How it all started.....

In some respects the origins of Toasted Mechanism can be traced back to this comic. Laughing out loud in our kitchen in Guelph Marcus and I combined stories of our various canoe trip hijinks to produce the legend that is "Adventures in Wilderness". Following countless hours of pencil scratches on scrap paper, the concept of using photoshop to bolster our lack of illustration talent was developed. Fame and notoriety quickly followed it's first publication in the Ontarion student newspaper at the university (at least no angry letters were reported) and the second posting to Facebook has since generated over 130 comments. Talk about sucesss. Despite the goldmine of feedback from social networking sites, we still aren't sure if it's just us that finds this funny....but we're pretty sure there's a dirth of comics in the whole outdoor adventure genre. Maybe this is the start? Ok kids, you're going to want to paddle pretty hard on this one...
