I was rereading the Mohkadun story when Torg mentions his parents died when he was a baby, so who raised him? Family? Adopted? Batman?

I vaguely remember a short storyline set when Torg and Riff are kids...but I don't remember what happens in it, or whether it's even canon

They are chased by a carnivorous Smurf.

I misremembered it as Pac Man. A carnivorous Smurf makes more sense. Somehow.

Riff was going to change something into a Smurf with the Wand of Scobus Dobius Du, as a gift for Kimmy Sue Hassenfeffer (Love!), because "girls love Smurfs!" It misfired at a loan shark and created Carnivorous Smurf.

Getting back on topic for this thread... that's a good question. I don't remember the mention that Torg lost his parents when he was a baby. Did they die, or did he lose them?

Here's the start of the Kimmy Sue Hasenfeffer story (I reread it and didn't see anything about Torg's family) http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/weekly/981116
And here's Torg talking about his parents dying when he was a baby http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/131113

Kudos on the unofficial strip-finding.
It's interesting that after all this time, we know so little about Torg's past. He's not exactly the kind of person you'd peg as having a mysterious past, yet here we are, knowing more about the mysterious Riff and the inexplicable Bun Bun than the seemly normal Torg..

I completely forgot about Torg's full legal name:
Torg Sluggy Lastname :torg:

Actually, it was established that Torg Potter was someone else.

So.... Sluggy was the God of Power (aka Bun-Bun) And Torg's middle name is supposably "Sluggy?"

Ooooookaaaaay.......

The fate spider tied them all together.

Then someone(s) acting through fate did the naming. Who though? no idea
