The first known drawing of Chef Clown Man, in a planner owned by 64studios101. The idea of "Chef Meat and Greet vs. Chef Clown Man!" seems to originate here. Most likely, Clown Man was created sometime during the week of January 27th in 2013, perhaps on Monday or Tuesday if the dates above are accurate. Note the slight differences between this and Clown Man's final design, such as the absence of lines on his hat and the slightly different hat shape. John Johnny Johnson was likely not invented yet. The entire page, and not just the picture of Clown Man, are shown to provide context.
The back of Chef Meat and Greet #3, which features a nearly completely faded ad for three comic series 64studios101 had created; Doctor Who: 12th Doctor Adventures, Rock-Man, and The Great Time War. The right corner says "New Meat and Greet Spin-Off Soon! Chef Clown Man!" The comic is from late Janurary or early February 2013. The entire ad, and not just the Chef Clown Man part, is shown to provide context. The comic originally had 64studios101's full name, but it was digitally removed for this website.
Chef Meat and Greet #12, the first appearance of Chef Clown Man, John Johnny Johnson, and Dr. Daddy, entitled "Chef Meat and Greet vs. Chef Clown Man!" The latter two weren't named here, but in a one-page "novelization" that 64studios101 wrote in a notebook a few months later (unfortunately, said notebook likely no longer exists). This comic was written around early 2013. Note that many panels have mistakes: in the final one, for example, Clown Man has no nose.
In one of his cruelest actions, Johnson uses a "teleport-gun" to get rid of Clown Man, who gets into a fight with Chef Meat and Greet. Dr. Daddy uses a teleporter at his laboratory to bring Clown Man back to his original location, presumably the Town Café. Chef Clown Man is only named in the title. Note the various misspellings and punctuation errors throughout, and the two chefs acting very out of character. The comic originally had 64studios101's full name, but it was digitally removed for this website.
Chef Meat and Greet #13, entitled "Happy Birthday, Creator!" This is a special issue celebrating 64studios101's birthday, written in spring 2013. Chef Clown Man and John Johnny Johnson only appear on the right in the second panel, but the entire issue is shown to provide context. The art of 64studios101 looks different enough from his actual self that it is presented here in its original form, but 64studios101's full name, as well as anything else that might provide a link to his real identity, have been digitally removed for this website.
The first solo Chef Clown Man story, entitled "I am a Quitter," written around early-mid 2013. Note the first usage of "The Chef Clown Man Show," which here is the television show that Clown Man is in, and Johnson is directing. The comic ends abruptly when Clown Man decides to leave and cook. Johnson has a halo on his head in the last panel for unknown reasons, and is still not named. The Meat and Greet story here, "The Man Who Can," Is provided to show how the entire format of the one-page comic, though this is the only issue. Note the slightly different design in the full-body shots of the characters, and the fact that Clown Man doesn't seem to have his signature suit on in the second panel. The comic originally had 64studios101's full name, but it was digitally removed for this website.
Chef Clown Man/Chef Meat and Greet Shorts #1, which features "Hoops!" and "My Name is Stupid." It was written around early-mid 2013. It features a prototype of the Chef Clown Man logo. Note how John Johnny Johnny Johnson is being quite mean every time Chef Clown Man misses a basket, and how unhappy he is when Clown Man finally makes a one. The Meat and Greet story is unfinished, but is provided to show the format of the entire comic, though this is the only issue. The back shows how to draw Chef Clown Man, though the smile is drawn incorrectly in some of the panels. Additionally, Clown Man's feet are drawn differently from the current art style, and he appears to be wearing gloves. The comic originally had 64studios101's full name, but it was digitally removed for this website.
The first and only issue of Chef Clown Man written by 64studios101, titled "A Clowning Halloween. It was written around mid-2013. The very short one-page comic features Chef Clown Man trying to carve a jack-o-lantern, and later unsuccessfully trick-or-treating. Some of the ideas from the comic featured in The Chef Clown Man Show episode "The Chef Clown Man Halloween Special." The logo is now much closer to its final form. Note that John Johnny Johnson is still acting more unpleasant than he would eventually. Also note the various mistakes that are just scribbled over with pen.
The back page has Chef Clown Man acting uncharacteristically mean towards Chef Meat and Greet. Unlike most other Clown Man comics, it was done in pen and not pencil. The comic originally had 64studios101's full name, but it was digitally removed for this website.
A two issue series entitled Clown Man the Clueless and created by WhoFan12 in mid-2013. Note the absence of John Johnny Johnson, as WhoFan12 did not know about the existence of the character when these were created. Due to 64studios101's lack of characterization in his previous Chef Clown Man comics, WhoFan12 was unaware that there were any recurring characters other than Clown Man himself.
Another two issue Chef Clown Man series created by WhoFan12, also from mid/late 2013. In contrast to Clown Man the Clueless, these comics do contain appearances by John Johnny Johnson, although he is characterized as a bit of a bully, as is to be expected at this point in time. The second issue, "Christmas for Clown Man," ever-so-slightly foreshadows episode 4 of The Chef Clown Man Show, "The Chef Clown Man Christmas Special."
An unnamed Chef Clown Man story from Comix Craze #1, which was created in 2014. It features Chef Clown Man not knowing that "QB" stands for "Quarterback," and John Johnny Johnson acting only slightly unkind in comparison to many of his early appearances. Note that Johnson has a nose here, as everyone in the issue had one in an effort to make the comic slightly more "realistic". It is shorter than many other comics, as Comix Craze #1 was created on paper that was cut into slightly more than halves. The comic originally had 64studios101's full name, but it was digitally removed for this website.
The first and only "Hungry Chefs" feature in Comix Craze #1 from 2014. This featured Chef Clown Man and Chef Meat and Greet in one panel each as they prepare to compete in a hot dog eating contest. The story was never continued. It is shorter than many other comics, as Comix Craze #1 was created on paper that was cut into slightly more than halves. The comic originally had 64studios101's full name, but it was digitally removed for this website.
A short two-panel comic strip made by 64studios101, featuring Chef Clown Man and John Johnny Johnson and written around summer 2013. Note the nose on Johnson. Additionally, Johnson still doesn't have the more likable personality he would gain in The Chef Clown Man Show, as he thinks of Clown Man as "dolt." The comic originally had 64studios101's last name, but it was digitally removed for this website.
A mock-newspaper strip based on issues of Chef Meat and Greet created by WhoFan12, with the first page ending "The Return of the Cow" and starting "Chef Meat and Greet vs. Chef Clown Man." It was written around mid-2014. The second page ends the latter story and begins "Happy Birthday, Creator!" where Chef Clown Man and John Johnny Johnson still have a cameo in one panel. Note that Dr. Daddy incorrectly is drawn with lines on his face. The Chef Meat and Greet comics are kept to help provide context. John Johnny Johnson originally would have appeared in the adaption of "The End" among many villains, but he was changed to a random zombie when 64studios101 questioned putting Johnson among villains. The comic originally had 64studios101's full name, but it was digitally removed for this website.
Chef Clown Man strips from the bottom of Hero Comix #2 and #3. They were written around mid-late 2013. Note John Johnny Johnson's nose, as Hero Comix was intended to be slightly more "realistic," and also note Chef Clown Man's nose sometimes being shaded in. Something close to the modern Chef Clown Man logo is shown on the third strip. The comic deals with Clown Man and Johnson at the amusement park, and the fourth strip shows Johnson performing his most villainous action to date, actually pushing Clown Man off of a moving roller coaster, although he is saved in the fifth when he is caught by a clown. The sixth strip is only two panels before it is replaced by the first of a handful of strips of "Bill the Duck," which 64studios101 believes to be one of the worst comics he ever wrote. The Bill the Duck strip is kept to provide context. The comics originally had 64studios101's full name, but it was digitally removed for this website.
A "How to Draw..." feature in Meat and Greet Magazine for Kids #8, by WhoFan12. It was drawn around late 2013-early 2014. This features a guide on how to draw Chef Clown Man. Note the absence of gloves, and the shoes correctly being different colors. The hat in the final full-color picture is slightly inaccurate, although the colors are correct.
An "All About..." feature from Meat and Greet Magazine for Kids #12. It was written around early 2014. The "All About..." feature would simply summarize a previous issue of Chef Meat and Greet. Note the incorrect coloring of Chef Clown Man's shirt, and that while John Johnny Johnson is named in the description, Dr. Daddy is just called "a man at a lab."
The cover for Meat and Greet Magazine for Kids #14, by WhoFan12. It was drawn around early-mid 2014. Chef Clown Man is the main feature, and is colored correctly, though unlike in the show he is wearing gloves. It mentions that he is "the silliest man in Delicopolis," although he doesn't live there in the show. The actual "Explained" page gives a short overview of Chef Clown Man and says that John Johnny Johnson "can't stand him." The feature also talks about "Chef Meat and Greet vs. Chef Clown Man," and says that the clown works at "another restaurant," as the Town Café had not been invented yet. Note Clown Man's inaccurate black-and-white coloring, as well as his gloves, and Johnson's black hair. The feature also lists his appearances as "Chef Meat and Greet vs. Chef Clown Man (Plus his own spin-off Chef Clown Man)," though only a few comics starring Clown Man were ever actually created.
The unfinished first issue in a planned series of comics by WhoFan12 from around mid-2014. This one is called "Goodbye, Chef Clown Man!" and it features Johnson again seeming to dislike Clown Man. Some of the ideas from the comic featured in The Chef Clown Man Show episode "Circus Clown."
A short comic created by WhoFan12 for the unfinished first issue of Whatevs, a comic that would have primarily featured various Chef Meat and Greet characters. It was written around mid-late 2014. There is a lack of shading because WhoFan12 originally intended to color in the panels. The comic originally had 64studios101 and WhoFan12's full names, but they were digitally removed for this website.
Concept art for Coolness Coolfingers by 64studios101, drawn for the tenth episode of The Chef Clown Man Show, "Chef Cool Man." Note the small differences in design from the version in The Chef Clown Man Show, such as the watch on his left arm and the slightly longer tufts of hair sticking up. A few pictures of his face with different expressions are shown as well.
64studios101's original lyric sheet for "I Wanna Guitar," the song that appeared in "Chef Cool Man," the tenth episode of the Chef Clown Man Show. Several small changes were made to the lyrics before the song appeared in the episode.
WhoFan12's original storyboard for the "I Wanna Guitar" sequence in "Chef Cool Man," the tenth episode of The Chef Clown Man Show. Note the check marks that were drawn on to show completion of each part of the scene. Most of the Chef Clown Man Show is done without storyboards, but more complex scenes often do require their use. The storyboard originally had WhoFan12's full name, but it was digitally removed for this website.
Concept art for the Action Hero in The Fight Operation Part 2: Ouch! from the eleventh episode of The Chef Clown Man Show, "Cinema Clown." The art was drawn by 64studios101 shortly before the production of the episode, and is in many ways quite similar to the character who actually ended up appearing. The notes were to make sure that WhoFan12 knew to give him jeans and messy hair.
Concept art for the cult in the twelfth episode of The Chef Clown Man Show, "The Clown Worshipers," drawn by 64studiso101. The cult member in the middle is the leader of the group. 64studios101 drew two possible faces, and a variation of the older, long-bearded one was used for the episode. The text that says "The Chef Clown Man Show" is cut off because of a rip in the paper.
WhoFan12's original storyboard for the ping pong game sequence in the fourteenth episode of The Chef Clown Man Show, "The Sleepover." The "3rd ball" note indicates that Clown Man had hit two balls already. The scribbles on the center panel on the bottom row indicate that it was crossed out and not used as part of the sequence. The storyboard originally had WhoFan12's full name, but it was digitally removed for this website.
WhoFan12's original storyboard for the pillow fight sequence in the fourteenth episode of The Chef Clown Man Show, "The Sleepover." The storyboard was followed, although steps 9-20 were not repeated despite the notes on the paper stating that this was the original intention.
64studios101's original concept art for Gretchen Miller, drawn for the seventeenth episode of The Chef Clown Man Show, "The Project." Gretchen interestingly has almost nothing in common here with WhoFan12's final design, meaning that the "very rough" written underneath her name is indeed quite accurate.
64studios101's concept art for the record store worker in the nineteenth episode of The Chef Clown Man Show, "The Bubblegum Syndrome," made for WhoFan12. The design is noticeably different from the final version, but still has many of the same elements, such as the long hair, stubble, and t-shirt with skull and crossbones.
