ABout US

Hi, I'm SWIGGY (yes, it's all capitalized) and I'm the brains and brawn behind PUNography. I've been doing this since the around the turn of the century.

Initially, PUNography grew out of a dislike for the porn industry and their spammers spamming the Usenet Newsgroups. I finally decided to do something about it by stealing the pics they were posting and captioning them to make them look ridiculous. I did this for years, actually having an adult website to feature them. I gave up on the site and stuck with posting them on Usenet.

About 2002, after having done my PUNographys for years, someone pointed out that they were even too raunchy for some of usenet. Sure they were, they were based on porn pix. But it did get me thinking about other venues, so I started cleaning up my act. Some of them are still nasty, but nothing like what I had been doing. And my following increased.

I've bounced around about a half dozen various URLS, some free, some came with my ISP account, but a counsler at S.C.O.R.E.(Service Corps Of Retired Executives) advised me that the superlong URL I used made it difficult to find, and would put people off typing it in. I thought about it, agreed, and set up a dedicated URL and here it is.

A bit about me personally:

  • Born in Youngstown, Ohio on August 4, 1957 (Yeah, I'm an old fart)
  • I have 3 brothers, 2 sisters, 1 wife, 3 adult children, and 8 grandchildren
  • I live in northern Indiana
  • I wrote and performed Stand-Up Comedy from 1982 through 1995
  • I have one published book: The Books of SPAM. It was a religious parody I wrote back in 1994. The fine people at Hormel did not bring any legal action against me.
  • I'm available for humor writing, be it punching up a script, speech, or tweaking a book.
  • I also make animated GIFs, and often put them in video collections. You can find some of my videos on YouTube at swiggy1957

Because the images I use for PUNography are mostly ones I've snagged from the internet over the years, or created from other stock photographs, I allow anyone to use them. I only ask that they be left intact. You may add your site name or URL to them, I recommend a small banner under the caption, but other than that, just leave them intact. I'm easy to work with. Let me know, and if enough people use them around the web, I'll add a link to that site.

Anything else, you can e-mail me at PUNography
