Overview

Connecticut Clark is a character from the Flork of Cows webcomic universe, drawn in artist Flork's minimalist white stick-figure style1. Within the strip he is introduced as an average man from Connecticut with no special powers or abilities, a running gag that sets up his straight-man dynamic with the strip's supernatural cast2.

The recurring storyline pairs Clark with Malfina the Demon Witch, an initially menacing character who rates him a "solid 4/10" and then agrees to dinner at his parents' house3. Bits like the green "connecticut water" Clark's family serves guests, the couple's eventual wedding, and Malfina's flat delivery became the identifying gags of the saga and later fuel for edits3.

How It Spread

Flork rolled out the remaining strips of the original six-part saga through April 3rd, 2019, closing on a wedding comic that received about 1,500 Reddit upvotes2. On April 29th, 2019, he posted a compilation link of the full "Clark Saga" to r/FlorkofCowsOfficial, which pulled around 725 likes3.

By May 2019, Clark jumped off Reddit and Twitter and hit iFunny, where user @Camelot posted a captioned image reading "Repub If Youd Go To Clarks Wedding" on May 8th that racked up roughly 22,500 smiles4. Fan art followed by late 2019 from iFunny user @CrazyAnnoying45 in October and Twitter user @krnart in November3. Flork returned to the saga on May 4th, 2020 with a seventh strip about Clark adopting a stray dog3, which pushed the character onto Tumblr; user quackspot posted a "connecticut water" joke there on April 10th, 20205.

On April 16th, 2021, Flork added an eighth Clark strip that pulled about 2,300 upvotes, and by November 2021 the saga totalled twelve comics2. The four-panel wedding strip became the workhorse exploitable, with iFunny user @YulkyTulky posting an early text variation on September 16th, 2020 that hit around 82,900 smiles, and Tumblr user chierry uploading the first known image-layer edit on June 14th, 20213.
