Why is it Club PENGUIN?
Chinsetakout here!!
I have some very cool news about how Club Penguin was started! Click more for all the info:
This is what rsnail had to say about why he picked penguins:
Why penguins? The answer usually surprises people. I needed a simple character that I could animate for an experimental project. Looking around my desk, I saw an old Far Side comic that I clipped from a newspaper. This comic showed a penguin slipping on a banana peel. The idea for a waddling penguin with a white background was born.
Here is the newspaper comic that pretty much started Club Penguin:
Sweet right?

Imagine if that newspaper comic was never made!
There might not have been Club Penguin! It might have been Club Hippo or some other animal
