	The Slapstick Family Tree weaves a tangled web: if you were to follow each members personal bio you'd find that they ended up playing with other members again in different projects / bands / reunions, and other bands indirectly spawned from Slapstick members later after the main list, but this is the primary family tree. For instance, Mike Felumlee played for three of Slapstick Tree bands: The Smoking Popes, Duvall, and Alkaline Trio, but was not a Slapstick member, but was part of a "family" of musicians and bands, all helped formed by Slapstick. As stated on the [[Slapstick]] page, the continuing Chicago punk scene into the later 90's and on wouldn't be what it is without Slapstick's direct influence and the bands it subsequently formed. You could even bargain to suggest that Slapstick was to the 1990's scene as [[Naked Raygun]] was to the 1980's - not in sound whatsoever, but in importance. While Slapstick did not have the endurance that Raygun did, as they were only around for 3 years, its band's members were central and key to many of the bands that were to go on and makeup the scene and what followed.

Despite their shortly lived existence, Slapstick acted as a segue to many bands that were to highlight the mid 90's scene into the new millennium. If you follow their member's full history beyond the "tree," it also illustrates what a close knit community Chicago punk has been before and after Slapstick.
