The 4chan Origin

Apu Apustaja: his name is broken Finnish for “help helper”. He's a poorly drawn take on Pepe the Frog in the style of Spurdo Spärde, and he posts in English that sounds like a small child wrote it. 4chan made him famous and calls him Helper. The first archived Apu threads are all on 4chan, and here they are. He tries his best. He is help.
