Lethargic Lad started in 1986 as a doodle. Greg kept drawing this nameless character and eventually added the name "Lethargic Lad" to him. Greg decided he wanted to do comics with him, so he put back-up stories of Lethargic Lad in his bad superhero comics. Lethargic Lad became an odd little mascot for Greg.

Eventually Greg went to college and his dream of making superhero comics came to an end. He still had access to a photocopier though. So in 1988, Greg put together the small press version of Lethargic Comics, Weakly #1. The comic was supposed ot be a joke, making fun of DC's Action Comics Weekly #601, which contained short strips of Green Lantern, Superman, and Wild Dog. The Superman strip was particularly short; two pages. The joke for LCW #1 was that the strips, all which were about Lethargic Lad, were only one panel long each. About 30 copies were made, which Greg handed out to friends.

LCW #1 was intended to be the only issue. But for some odd reason, the people wanted more. Greg started to make a supporting cast of charcters including Guy-With-a-Gun, Walrus-Boy, Wild Frog, The No-Mutants, and Dirty Harrold. The comic started to take its anthology format. 20 one paged issues were made, them with issue 21, Greg's pals got in the game. Luc Latulippe started on Walrus Boy, Brian Lemay on the Zit, Steve Remen on HIM and a Lethargic Safety Tips, and Greg Stanton on the short lived Bread Clip Flingin' Guy. Over the next few years, more pages and strips were added including The Grad with John Migliore and Big Chap by Stuart Shankley. They maintained a bi-weekly schedule. 59 issues, 2 annuals, and about a circulation of 400 copies later, the "Lethargic-Gang" decided to make a regular sized edition of Lethargic Comics, Weakly. In issue 59 they killed off all their characters to show that there would be no continuity between the two series. They did plan to put out a #60 which would feature nothing but empty panels but they never got around to putting it out because all their attention was on the new regular seires.

The "Big Book" as they liked to call it, followed the same format as the mini-comics version, with each character having their own number of pages. Greg was amused to give the title character the fewest pages in the book. Sadly, Luc Latulippe decided to leave Walrus-Boy, for he thought the comics biz was just not for him, so Greg and John took over work on Walrus Boy.

As time went along, a small publishing company named Alpha Productions decided to pick up Lethargic Lad and publish it from there on. Greg decided it was time to tune the book a bit; make it a little more "90s". They dropped weakly from the title and made a brand new Lethargic Comics #1! Walrus Boy was dropped out of the line-up as well. Greg also made the No-Mutants a full page. Eventually Tom and Mary Bierbaum, Delfin Barral, and Al Nickerson took over work on the No-Mutants. Bob Cram Jr. stepped in and did some work on the Grad and Walrus Boy. They also managed to get many great artists to do covers for them including Joe Staton, Paul Pelletier, Scott Shaw!, Evan Dorkin, Bill Tucci, Dave Dorman, and Dave Sim. Lethargic Comics got Greg and the bunch the most critical attention, and Greg feels that Lethargic Comics was their best work to date.

Sadly, all good things come to an end. In 1996, the gang began to have some problems with distribution from the bastards at Daimond Comics Distribution, Greg was frustrated woth the editing production of the comic. So Lethargic Comics came to an end at #14. At that time, Shi creator Bill Tucci offered to publish an all Lethargic Lad mini-series. Through Crusade Entertainment, the world witnessed the 3 issue Lethargic Lad series.

After the mini series was completed, Greg wasn't to sure on the future of Lethargic Lad. He did various projects during the time between Lethargic Lad #3 and Lethargic Lad Adventures #1. Eventually he got what he really wanted! A regular series of all Lethargic Lad. And he had his Lethargic buddy Steve Remen to do back up stories of Him every issue! Eventually Mike White did Little Lethargic Lad strips. Greg wasn't to thrilled with the title 'Lethargic Lad Adventures' but he stayed with it anywayz. It was to be published by Crusade Entertainment. But, unfortunately, bad things can seem good, when Crusade decided to stop publishing Lethargic Lad Adventures after #2. Greg thought he was going to have to go back into the world of self-publishing, but managed to dodge the bullet when Destination Entertainment picked up Lethargic Lad. Greg retitled the book to Lethargic Lad so he was very happy to work with Destination. His publisher, at first glance seemed good, but was really not all that it seemed. Production was fuzzy, his editorials and pages were screwed with, and other bad oranges were placed on Greg's door step so Greg decided to leave Destination and self-publish once again. Greg managed to put out 8 self published issues until he had to face the facts. Low sales for #14 figured that Greg could not go on any longer in the comic book business.

Although Greg was saddened by the end of his series, there is something good coming out of it! Greg has smartened up, and joined the future on the internet! He has decided to put out a weekly Lethargic Lad.com comic starting April 2nd! The launch of the new lethargiclad.com site is a way of promoting the new series, because it is a hell of a lot easier to say lethargiclad.com then it is to say nebula.on.ca/lethargic.

Now, going on almost 18 months of his hit series, Lethargiclad.com is one of the foremost online comics out there, reaching over 1000 people a month! Unfortunately, HIM has not worked out and only 8 strips have been made thus far. But now, old LL strips are being reprinted in Dork Tower and we have alot to look forward to in the future.
