SPIFFO IS SICK

Spiffo originates from one of Indie Stone's first game PAWS. Spiffo was created by and added by Marina Siu-Chong (AKA MashPotato.) PAWS was originally featuring all English creatures but Spiffo was added after they wanted "a Canadian character in there too". The raccoon was dubbed Mr Spiffo, a temporary name that soon became permanent. You can even find some of the first artwork for Spiffo on Mashpotassium's blog. When Project Zomboid came about Mr Spiffo was added as a mascot for the fast food restraunt chain "Spiffo's". He was also meant to be one easter egg of supposedly many that would appear in Project Zomboid from The Indie Stone's previous games. Around some point when Will Porter came onto The Indie Stone team he is said to have been in love with Spiffo. Eventually Spiffo became more prevalent on the forums and around the site as a result. Spiffo became more popular on the website with many sections and icons for the site including a picture of Spiffo. In the forums Spiffo is the default avatar for new users, as well as being a part of the header.
