[To be contd.]

Fun Facts

  • The Blog O' Shoes is real!
    • To quote James Turner, "You probably don't realise, but Beaver and Steve is actually an entirely TRUE STORY, and now I have conclusive proof: Shoe Goblin's Blog! It's all gone a bit meta. If you have a look around you might even find another familiar character. Oh! Suprises!"
    • The 'another familiar character' is Emotibot, who is friends with the Shoe Goblin on MySpace, even though they have never met in the comic.
  • Curiously, Steve and the Shoe Goblin share a computer.
  • The Shoe Goblin clearly was not really doing what he claims.
  • The Shoe Goblin can take off his helmet in space?
  • The Shoe Goblin not only has conjunctivitis, his left eye is also apparently lazy.


  • Conjunctivitis (commonly called "pinkeye") is an inflammation of the conjunctiva (the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids), often due to infection. It may also be caused by adenoviruses.
