Brian Clevinger is the cartoonist who creates 8-Bit Theater. 8-Bit Theater is a serial strip that follows the lives of a group of adventurers from the world of Final Fantasy™. Black mage, an impulsive person with homicidal tendencies, is one of the two original heroes that comprise the “light warriors”. Black Mage prefers to let his magic or his dagger do the talking for him, inflicting random violence on hapless passer-bys and only remains in the group due to his desire for ultimate power and his belief that he can use the group to further his goals. Fighter is a naïve, gentle soul whose blatant cluelessness (healthy denial or stupidity, depending on who you ask) is off sided by his awesome displays of physical prowess. Fighter enjoys swords of all kinds, and is working on a secret technique that involves using sword-chucks to his best advantage. Despite repeated attempts on his life, Fighter regards Black Mage as his best friend, and follows him everywhere. Unfortunately for Black Mage, Fighter entered into a contract deal with his new friend Thief, who is now the party leader. Seeing the “light warriors” as a way to further his own needs and make a little bit of money on the side through less-than-legal means, he continues adventuring with them. Finally, the newest member to the party, Red Mage, is a guru of various role-playing statistics, and has (or perhaps believes) the ability to change his statistics or skills around. He always has a plan for action, no matter how dangerous the situation, but for the most part doesn’t take into consideration all aspects, as they usually don’t work. Now the “light warriors” are being guided (whether they know it or not) by White Mage in her quest to save the world.

Mark Shallow is the cartoonist who creates Adventurers!. Adventurers! is a serial strip that follows the lives of two "typical" role-playing game characters, Karn and Ardam. Karn is the typical fighter of the group, in order to balance his physical prowess, his intellect leaves much to be desired.

Ardam is the mage of the group and with his spells, he can be quite a formidable foe in battle, however his physical skills are minimal. Ardam questions most things about the world, not being content with his current standing in life. Ardam tries to keep Karn from blindly going off on some quest, but cannot help and tag along, if only to keep him out of trouble, and perhaps because a little part of him wants to go along as well. Ardam and Karn fight many foes in their journeys, ranging from cute fluffy bunnies, to evil animated pants, to even a plethora of bosses. Fortunately, Ardam and Karn are not alone in their endeavors as they have their own party of friends to go along with them and help them battle the forces against them.

Tiffany Ross is the cartoonist who creates Alien Dice. Alien Dice is a serial strip that follows the life of a Rishan named Shira Lexx. Rishan’s are a genetically engineered race that was created from the human race. Hundreds of years ago, aliens came to Earth and captured numerous women, in order to harvest their offspring. They chose Earth to be their target due to its relative obscureness in the Galactic Order. The Rishans were developed for slavery, but after people found out where they came from, they were freed. This was not the end of the exploitation of the Rishan race. Most orphaned Rishans were taken by the ADC, the Alien Dice Corporation, and trained in numerous training academies in order to become “productive members of society”, when in reality, they were screening them to see which ones would be best suited for their game. Alien Dice was originally a game that rich people played by using special dice to augment animals and have them fight one another. This, over time, became boring, as animals only had so much intelligence and unpredictability. It was only a matter of time before they started using sentient beings in their game. Lexx is one of those people, and has become one of the best players in the game. The ADC makes a lot of money through the exploitation of the players, and through contracts that the players signed as children; they are not allowed to reveal anything until they are able to fight through three sets of collecting dice. Lexx is on his third set now, and everything was going smooth for him, until he ended up having to take a human girl named Chel with him on his last set. Now everything that defined Lexx’s world is changing. Lexx finds himself torn between living the life that he so desperately wants to have, and finishing the game so he will be alive or not a slave, in order to enjoy it.

Patti, Mat’s significant other, is only person Jamie has met that could not only withstand his brother’s anger, but also hold her own against him. Jamie loves going to the movies or interacting with past and current pop culture. He spends a lot of time talking about either topic with his brother or his girlfriend, Audrey. Usually Jamie is disappointed with the quality of movies that are being produced, as feels the mainstream Hollywood movie studios just rehash old ideas for unsuspecting consumers. Despite Jamie’s negative stance towards most movies, Audrey enjoys going with him, and can even manage to keep him silent for the duration of the film. Since Jamie tends to be very vocal and animate about his feelings, he can go off on tangents, explaining why a particular movie didn’t meet his expectations (much to the annoyance of his brother). Jamie and Mat are like most brothers, they play pranks on one another, disagree on things, or harp on one another, but they can find common ground to unite against, such as their War on Shitty Movies.

Tariq De Vore is the cartoonist who creates Ban the Basics. Ban the Basics is a serial strip about a class of gifted sixth-grade students. All of the students in Ms. Walker’s class are extremely bright, and because of such, has a rich blend of varying interests and unique needs. Of course, with gifted students, you have to continue to challenge them; otherwise they will end up getting bored, and finding their own ways to amuse themselves. This is why Ms. Walker’s class always has projects to do, and considers their needs at all times, but their definition of classroom projects, is far above what would be a normal sixth-grade classroom project. She has such students to consider as: Leene, an avid web page designer, who even runs her own computer maintenance business for the neighborhood; Deetzer, a young computer programmer who programs in text editors or in Dos and views those people who program in code editors to be newbies, when he is in the sixth grade!; Freda, an avid robot enthusiast, who loves to create new an exciting machines, and believes in robot rights and the idea of cybernetic implants; Paskal, Deetzer’s co-conspirator and fellow programmer, who’s addicted to using his PDA; Walter, who enjoys playing around with new gadgets, and seeks out new ways to enhance the new things his fellow classmates make, even without knowing how they work!; and Lynne, a shy introverted girl, with a massive IQ, who enjoys doing data analysis and number crunching for fun. These students are just the tip of the iceberg for Ms. Walker’s class, and with such intelligent students under her care, she worries that she can meet their expectations as a teacher. At least she passed their background inspection and received the class consensus to just be their teacher!

Blue Crash Kit is an anthropomorphic (animals that are attributed human-like qualities), serial strip that follows the lives of a superhero trio.

This kind of relationship can be chafing, and Bruno’s insecurities about her happiness can make it harder for her to have a lasting relationship. Fortunately, she does have days where she feels better, and can be very sociable. This suggests that she suffers from depression, but doesn’t prefer to medicate herself, but to battle it on her own terms. This strategy might have failed long ago, if it wasn’t for her network of close friends. Such as her former lover Stanley, a reclusive writer whom she looks up to, as he helped inspire her to finally finish the book she was agonizing over writing. She finds solace in him and sometimes feels the need to seek him out, but realizes that due to her nature of hurting herself emotionally, ends up reflecting onto him as he knows he can’t do anything for her.

Not long after she moved, she ends up being dumped by the very same person who she moved to be with. This didn’t really leave her alone, as she always was with her stalwart companion, a Labrador-sized dragon named Rremly. Rremly was the runt of a clutch of dragons that was hatched over 400 years ago, and not long after he hatched, he was sent off to live in a castle, as it was the custom at the time. Rremly wasn’t so much used for his dragon prowess as he was more used as a playmate for the princess. Rremly grew up with the princess, and developed his loyal and carefree personality, which he maintains to this day. He continues to act silly and impulsively for the amusement of Gwen, as she is easily in touch with her inner child and can romp with Rremly whenever real life doesn’t intrude on their time together. On a whim, Rremly “adopted” a squirrel named Baxter, who continually puts up a sour front, in spite of which has come to care for his newfound friends, even if he doesn’t show it often. Of course Baxter has to be careful of random biting attacks from three sentient balls of dust named Romulus, Remus, and Bitey, or from stealthy ninja attacks from the newly acquired kitten named Aya.

He dislikes people in general, and usually takes joy in making others lives miserable, much to the dismay of Roger and Dave. Roger, a were-coyote, is the most laid back of the three roommates, and enjoys going off in fits of nonsense (or perhaps rants that only make sense to himself and his twin sister). Dave is the kind of guy who feels that he can’t succeed in life, that his luck in general is horrible, and that the world is out to get him (something that he feels is reinforced over and over again). A similar room situation took place for Marsha Hart, Margaret B. Browning, and April Sommers, the other three friends, and they ended up in the same apartment building as Mike, Roger, and Dave. Marsha has learned to get by based on her good looks (if she uses them too often, she ends up attracting wildlife like a modern day Snow White), but has a savage temper if she feels that the object of her affections is potentially cheating on her, and does not hesitate to use near-lethal force to express her displeasure. Margaret has grown up with misfortune, having found that the Devil wants to make her his bride for the end times, she has developed her fighting prowess to a keen edge. She tends to be melancholy at times, since she feels that she cannot escape her fate, so she throws everything she has behind the single desire to live, by any means necessary.

R. Stevens is the cartoonist who creates Diesel Sweeties. Diesel Sweeties is a gag-a-day/serial strip that follows the lives of a loving couple.

Aside from the stigma against people dating and having sex with robots, Clango has other problems to deal with ranging from the jibes from Indie Rock Pete, to the rampaging tendencies of Red Robot #C-63.

Michael Terracciano is the cartoonist who creates Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire. Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire is a serial strip that follows the life of a seer named Dominic Deegan. At an early age Dominic learned that he had the power to see the future, but he soon learned that this made him special, yet an outcast at the same time. As he grew up, Dominic uses his gift of second sight to divine futures for money. This has probably made him a little cynical; as many of his customers ask him questions they probably could have answered on their own. At times his second sight works without his prompting, showing him visions of an unaltered future (meaning that he could still change it if he wished) that might be of importance to him. It's through these visions that he becomes entangled with another lonely soul by the name of Luna Travoria. Luna was born with slight tusks, a rare human birth defect, indicating that orcs were located somewhere in the Travorian bloodline. This constant reminder of a secret shame, coupled with the fact that her mother prided herself on being the fetching beauty with lovely daughters, prompted Luna's mother to enact a terrible plot. If Luna would end up killing herself after a visit from a Royal Knight of Callan, then the Callanese government would owe Luna's mother recompense for the death of her daughter. Her plan of belittling and diminishing her daughter's self esteem almost worked, if not for the timely intervention of Dominic. Dominic not only foiled Luna's mother's plot, but also managed to save Luna's live twice in the process. Perhaps sensing a kindred spirit, or because his second sight lead him to her, Dominic allowed the now abandoned Luna, to become his apprentice and help him in his theories of magical research. Now they travel together, their lives enmeshed with one another, as they continue trying to find a place of peace and quiet, but only if Dominic's visions will allow him to do so.

In addition to his duties for GPF software, Jason used to moonlight as a secret agent for a covert US agency called the UGA (Undisclosed Government Agency), and had become a top agent before his cover was blown and had to lie low for a while.

Nick is a software programmer who has a talent for creating innovative devices due to his "inventor's gene," but sometimes doesn't test them through for safety.
