Origin

On December 4th, 2017, Owl Turd released a comic in which a gang of criminals is introduced to a young boy, including "Stealin' Steve," "Murderin' Mike" and "Crimes Johnson." After asking what Crimes Johnson had done, it is revealed that he "made a really bad tweet" (shown below).^[1]

Shortly after the comic was posted, it was deleted by Owl Turd creator Shenanigansen. In a post on Tumblr, Shenanigansen revealed that he "just wasn't feeling it" and that the only part of the comic he liked was Crimes Johnson (shown below).^[2]
