{{Quote|Mister Chief is the | {{Quote|Mister Chief is a terrible idea that snowballed out of control, and now we’re stuck with it, like the internal combustion engine or Justin Bieber. I don’t secretly think he’s awesome, nor do I secretly think that Mister Chief has any actual artistic or canonical merit. He is the bastard child of a more desperate time. You know the expression “outsider art?” Whereby art is created from an unexpected place, like an elephant with a paintbrush. A French artist, Jean Dubuffet coined the term to describe paintings made by children and the inmates of insane asylums.

On 1/16/04, Frank O'Connor posted his first weekly update. At the time, ''[[Halo 2]]'' was still under a veil of secrecy. Frankie had just seen a promotional poster by [[Lorraine McLees]] and wanted to include it his weekly update, however it was not possible at the time. So instead Frankie created a horrible artist's impression of it. Instead of [[John-117|Master Chief]] holding a gun, Frankie drew him with a [[Wikipedia:Lightsabre|lightsaber]] from ''[[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]]'', "because guns are hard to draw".<ref>[http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive12.pl?read=364018 '''halo.bungie.org Forum''': ''WEEKLY BUNGIE UPDATE'']</ref> It did not look quite right so Frankie drew in some eyes and mouth and labeled it '''"Mister Chief"'''. | On 1/16/04, Frank O'Connor posted his first weekly update.

O'Connor got such a response from fans that he decided to include another Mister Chief image in his weekly updates from then on. Mister Chief has been made in many different styles, including imitation [[Wikipedia:Caravaggio|Caravaggio]] and Japanese manga. Most ideas come from fan requests. | O'Connor got such a response from fans that he decided to include another Mister Chief image in his weekly updates from then on.
