'''''The Ongoing Adventures of Rocket Llama''''' is a webcomic starring "a high-flying llama, a sword-swinging cat, and a rocket as loyal as a cowboy's horse."<ref>[http://www.workdaycomic.com/resources/navigation.htm You are here.]</ref> Created by Alex Langley while he was a student at Henderson State University, the comic first appeared in a student club's comic book project titled ''The Workday Comic''. Students each wrote and drew their own eight-page stories in eight hours in April, 2007, on Friday the 13th.<ref>[http://media.www.hsuoracle.com/media/storage/paper927/news/2007/04/02/News/Comic.Book.Club.Puts.In.A.Full.Days.Work-2820341.shtml Comic book club puts in a full day's work.]</ref>

The full title of Rocket Llama's debut story in ''The Workday Comic'' #1 was "''The Ongoing Adventures of Rocket Llama'' #112: 'Trouble in Paradise'". The story introduced the taciturn hero Rocket Llama and his talkative sidekick, an anthropomorphic cat named Bartholomew Meowsenhausen, who find themselves stranded on an island after a battle with an enemy called Jetpack Dog. Spherical islanders capture. A villain named Bowser von Uberdog arrives with Jetpack Dog and, in a sudden ''Star Wars'' parody, summons a giant robot known as the Super Robot Dog Walker. The robot blasts a volcano to bits. Before it can fire a second blast, Rocket Llama destroys. The story ends with Bowser tied up and the heroes using the giant robot dog head as a boat to get themselves home, with the promise of the next story to be titled, "Yuck! Yukon!"<ref>''The Workday Comic'' #1.</ref><ref>[http://workdaycomic.com/wc/2007/Trouble_in_Paradise/P01.html ''The Workday Comic'' - online edition.]</ref>

Despite the original story's childlike art or perhaps because of it, the Rocket Llama story proved to be the most popular in the 2007 anthology collection of the students' work.<ref>[http://media.www.hsuoracle.com/media/storage/paper927/news/2008/04/14/News/Club-Produces.Second.Annual.Workday.Comic-3328547.shtml Club produces second annual workday comic.]</ref> After comic artist Stephen R. Bissette, an instructor at the Center for Cartoon Studies best known for his work on ''Swamp Thing'' with Alan Moore, read all of the stories in the first volume of ''The Workday Comic'', he remarked, "That llama's gonna stick with me."<ref>Communication to Nick Langley, quoted in "The Workday Comic: Not Just One Third of a 24-Hour Comic." Comics Arts Conference, Comic-Con International. San Diego, California. July 27, 2008.</ref>

Nick Langley redrew the comic as a less childlike webcomic for online publication<ref>[http://www.patchworkminds.com/rocketllama/112/P01.html ''The Ongoing Adventures of Rocket Llama'' #112: "Trouble in Paradise." Script: Alex Langley. Art: Nick Langley.</ref> as the flagship title for the Langleys' website rocketllama.com which grew into an affiliation of websites featuring webcomics, art, entertainment reviews, and scholarly studies of comics.<ref>[http://www.workdaycomic.com/resources/navigation.htm You are here.]</ref> The online story featured a new cover<ref>[http://www.patchworkminds.com/rocketllama/136/P00.html #137-Cover.]</ref> and omitted a one-page gag, a preview for an unrelated ''Stealth Potato'' comic, which had appeared as an intermission in the original story. The original story also appeared online as the comic's "ashcan copy."

The authors present the Rocket Llama stories metafictionally as the world's oldest comic book, established in 1916, which they allegedly rediscovered and are adapting into webcomics. "These classic comics have been discovered by none other than Nick and myself; deep underground, in an archaic vault we searched until we found the fabled tales. As both the current production team behind The Ongoing Adventures of Rocket Llama and appreciators of such groundbreaking literature we have taken it upon ourselves to restore these classic issues to a glory more befitting a modern, digital age."<ref>[http://www.patchworkminds.com/rocketllama/articles/A01-intro.html Who Is Rocket Llama?]</ref>

After number 112's online publication in July, 2007, came #136, "Time Flies When You're on the Run, Part 1," appearing one page at a time on weekdays.<ref>[http://www.patchworkminds.com/rocketllama/136/P01.html "Time Flies When You're on the Run, Part 1."

'''''The Ongoing Adventures of Rocket Llama''''' is a webcomic starring "a high-flying llama, a sword-swinging cat, and a rocket as loyal as a cowboy's horse."<ref>[http://www.workdaycomic.com/resources/navigation.htm You are here.]</ref> Created by Alex Langley while he was a student at Henderson State University, the comic first appeared in a student club's comic book project titled ''The Workday Comic''. Students each wrote and drew their own eight-page stories in eight hours in April, 2007, on Friday the 13th.<ref>[http://media.www.hsuoracle.com/media/storage/paper927/news/2007/04/02/News/Comic.Book.Club.Puts.In.A.Full.Days.Work-2820341.shtml Comic book club puts in a full day's work.</ref>

The full title of Rocket Llama's debut story in ''The Workday Comic'' #1 was "''The Ongoing Adventures of Rocket Llama'' #112: 'Trouble in Paradise'". The story introduced the taciturn hero Rocket Llama and his talkative sidekick, an anthropomorphic cat named Bartholomew Meowsenhausen, who find themselves stranded on an island after a battle with an enemy called Jetpack Dog. Spherical islanders capture. A villain named Bowser von Uberdog arrives with Jetpack Dog and, in a sudden ''Star Wars'' parody, summons a giant robot known as the Super Robot Dog Walker. The robot blasts a volcano to bits. Before it can fire a second blast, Rocket Llama destroys. The story ends with Bowser tied up and the heroes using the giant robot dog head as a boat to get themselves home, with the promise of the next story to be titled, "Yuck!
