/co/

About

/co/ is a 4chan’s board dedicated to comics and cartoons discussion. Since its creation, it has grown to become one of the biggest comics and cartoons discussion boards on the English-speaking Internet. Users of the board are commonly referred to as /co/mrades.

History

/co/ was added to 4chan’s selection of boards on April 6, 2006 alongside /po/ (Papercraft & Origami) and /sp/ (Sports). The board was later spun off into the board /mlp in 2012 as a containment for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic threads.^[1]

/co/verse

A /co/verse is the name given to a universe created by /co/ users. These /co/verses contain many characters which are popular on the board, such as /con/rad and Leggy Lamb. There are several websites which catalog /co/verse, including “The /co/nservatory Wiki” and “The /co/llection booru”.^[2][3]

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a 2010 cartoon based on the My Little Pony franchise produced by Hasbro. The show was initially followed semi-ironically on /co/ until it began to produce actual fans, who were dubbed “bronies”. My Little Pony threads became so frequent on /co/ that the /mlp/ board was created for them in 2012 in an effort to curb their overabundance on /co/.

60s Spider-Man

60s Spider-Man is a series of image macros based on odd-looking still frames taken from the 1967 Spider-Man cartoon. The meme originally started on /co/ before branching out to other websites.

Hexafusions

Hexafusions are illustrations which create an original composite character using three previously existent characters. The trend began on /co/ in November of 2013.
