Stupollo 11 was a comic illustrated by Ted Phillips on or before February 17, 1999. It appeared on Ted's Fun Site around that time.
The Joke
The Stupollo 11 comic was inspired by the 1995 film Apollo 13, which Ted had seen on a television broadcast. The film showed scientists and the astronauts using their ingenuity to return the mission home safely. Ted wondered: what if they sent morons to space?
In 1998, Ted had already produced a short called Apollo 11, which sought to answer this question, but it was more directly a Star Wars parody. So in 1999, as Ted was looking for new material for the web site's Comic Vault, Ted revisited the concept and drew this comic.
