Story vs. Timeline
This page is the quick narrative arc. For a wider chronology, continue to the Skunk Lore Timeline.
The Origin
On a mild September evening, Skunk was recognized as a deity by Jonny Lukins and Lex Nolan. Though geographically apart (Columbus, Ohio and Baldwin, Michigan), they were spiritually aligned while watching Skunk Seconds on Berd's channel.
That shared moment established the Church and initiated its formal religious and creative tradition centered on Skunk.
