The site, in 2004
A web cartoon about Foamy, an angry squirrel who rants about modern life, made by Jonathan Ian Mathers and hosted at Ill Will Press.
The series, Neurotically Yours, began as a comic about a goth girl, Germaine, and her squirrel flatmate. Foamy's rants proved the draw, and it has passed 400 official episodes.
In 2004: Three years into the series, which began on 10 September 2001, with the cartoons still hosted on Mathers's own site.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
