History
Toupydoops began as a weekly comic strip in The Oberlin Review, the student newspaper of Oberlin College in Ohio. Beginning in 1996, Toupydoops was written and drawn off and on for four years by series creator Kevin McShane. Moderately well-received by its Oberlin audience, the original Toupydoops strip reached the height of its acclaim when it was named runner up for the Charles M. Schulz Best College Cartoonist Award by the Scripps Howard Company in 1999.

Nearly 10 years after the strip's debut, Kevin McShane began publishing a bi-monthly Toupydoops comic book under his Lobrau Productions banner. Featuring the same main characters as the Oberlin comic strip, the Toupydops comic book re-contextualized McShane's original strip in a Hollywood setting.
