K. Sandra Fuhr is the cartoonist who creates Friendly
Hostility. Friendly Hostility is a serial strip that follows the lives
of two lovers, Kailen Maharassa and Collin Sri'vastra. Kailen, or Fox
as he prefers to be called, grew up with Collin, and their friendship
blossomed into something more over the years. Fox prefers to think of
himself as bisexual, while Collin doesn't see himself with anyone else
other than Fox, simply because he feels that he couldn't find someone
who could understand him better than Fox can. Fox is easy-going and takes
things as they come, as this is probably due to the diverse nature of
his family. Collin (or Boss as Fox affectionately calls him) comes from
a strict religious family, who prides itself on pomp and appearance, which
has become all of the things that he hates. Collin plots and schemes fox
ways to take over the world, as his goal is to become the dictator of
the world, where he could fix all of the problems that he sees all around
him. To help Collin in his endeavors, his former slave, Bootsie (whom
he named, as he didn't care about her actual name) acts as his assistant
in exchange for territory to control when Collin finally does take over
the world. Bootsie also has ulterior motives for helping Collin, as she
has been sort of an outcast at school, and really just desired to have
more friends in her life, in addition to forming a crush on Collin. While
her initial period of time as Collin's slave gave her a rather large workload
(as Fox can be rather messy at times), Bootsie was fortunate enough to
win the services of a demon that decided to reside in Collin and Fox's
refrigerator, and now the assistant has an assistant. For Fox, this is
just another normal day in his life, as he grew up with an uncle who works
for the satanic church, and a genius inventor for a father, whose inventions
often are very hazardous to be around.

Jerzy Drozd is the cartoonist who creates The Front. The Front is a weekly serial strip that follows the life of a not-so-typical high school student named Thirston (Thirsty) Doyle. Thirsty is a loyal, good-natured kind of guy, who enjoys making wisecracks and snide remarks about things. Adopted by Rex Doyle at the tender age of four, Thirsty never knew his real parents, so this probably explains why he subconsciously tries to be the center of attention, yet remain unattached to the situation. Like most teens, he enjoys comic books, goofing off, “Tricky-bots”, and spends his time surfing through High School life. What makes Thirsty special is that he has a strange ability to absorb almost any kind of energy. He doesn't know the full extent of his powers, being skittish to experiment with potentially lethal energies. A side-effect of his power, he doesn't produce melanin, so Thirsty has shock white skin. Fortunately, Thirsty doesn't have to feel too freakish about his special ability, his two friends; Gibson Marcus VanBuren and Knox Samuel Centerdrive also have their share of strange abilities. Gibson, a happy-go-lucky kind of guy, has the ability to change almost any substance to any elemental metal for a short amount of time. Unfortunately, Gibson isn't bright enough to utilize all of the possibilities of such a power, let alone its side effect: The ability to see the molecular structure of non-living materials. So Gibson uses his power to help out his friends, but usually at inopportune times, or screws up when he uses it. Fortunately, Thirsty and Knox have been friends with Gibson for a long time, so they either overlook Gibson's shortcomings, or avoid him for a while. Knox, Thirsty's foil and laid-back compatriot, has the ability to withstand kinetic energy. While he can be hurt by friction or other forces, this power makes him almost invulnerable to physical attacks. Knox prefers to observe the situation and not be confrontational about things, which is probably why his girlfriend, Nina, literally hangs on him all the time. Unbeknownst to the boys, they are about to be dragged into a conflict that will overshadow everything else in their life, and change their lives forever. |

Jeffrey T. Darlington is the cartoonist who creates
General Protection Fault. General Protection Fault is a serial strip that
focuses on the employees of GPF Software. Dwayne Duncan is the owner and
lead software engineer of GPF Software, but spends the majority of his
time charting out the progress for his company, rather than coding software.
Dwayne is warm and open man, who is very trusting of his employees, so
much so that he can be taken advantage of (and has been) from time to
time. Jason (or Fooker as he prefers to be called) is the co-system administrator,
who is a programming guru, but seems like he lacks much in interpersonal
skills and basic hygiene habits. 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. After growing tired
of his double-life, Jason switched places with his twin-brother (who was
supposed to be the one to become a secret agent in the first place), and
re-inserted himself back into society. Ki is a software programmer as
well as the head of the DBA for the company. Ki is a self-proclaimed geek,
who acts like one of the guys, fitting in well with the rest of her co-workers.
While she maintains a tough-independent woman in public, she still maintains
her connection to her feminine side, which makes her a bit of a romantic.
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. Nick is usually shy around women and people
he doesn't know, due to his fascination with all things "geeky",
and often tries to view the good in people and takes them at their word.
Sharon is the other co-administrator, and is every bit the counterpart
to Fooker. She is an expert programmer and computer geek, who is being
sought after by a cult of computer programmers who believe she is going
to be the one to bring balance to the world. |

Ali Graham is the cartoonist who creates HOUSD. HOUSD
is a serial strip that follows the lives of the actors who star in the
online comic, HOUSD. Craig lives in one house together with Neil, Jess
(or at least she is over enough to seem like she is), and an anthropomorphic
(animals that are attributed human-like qualities) penguin named Cubert.
Craig is the main focus of the comic, and without him, the cartoonist,
Ali (the cartoon version), wouldn't be able to create the comic effectively
(beyond his normal drunken ramblings). Craig spends a lot of his time
playing video games or getting into different problems, which usually
end up with him getting hurt. Craig can be awkward at times, not usually
using common sense when finding something to do, due to his impulsive
nature. Craig and Neil end up often playing pranks on one another. Neil
can be very accident-prone and often finds himself being taken advantage
of because of his naiveté. Neil can often with simple reasoning
skills, but claims to possess many deadly fighting arts, but doesn't yet
get to display them. Jess often has to be the bastion of sanity in the
household as she feels like she is the only levelheaded one in the house.
Jess doesn't actually stop any of the things that Craig or Neil does,
but just enjoys the events as they unfold. Jess does have a quick temper,
especially where her sister is concerned. Jess often has to beat Craig
and Neil due to the various things they say or do, but is quite used to
it, since she went to high school together with them (and they haven't
changed much). Cubert is a very intelligent penguin that can talk, and
often gets the guys into trouble with his sarcastic comments and weird
plans. Cubert, like everyone else, is in for himself, and often does things
at their expense.

David Hopkins is the cartoonist who creates Jack. Jack is an anthropomorphic (animals who take on human-like qualities), serial strip that follows the life (or rather, existence) of an embodiment of the sin of Wrath, a green rabbit named Jack. Jack's job as the Sin of Wrath is to herd souls of those who died, to their final destination. Jack's punishment in hell is that he doesn't remember any moment's of his life on Earth, and finds himself questioning God's plan, and his role in it. He empathizes with those souls who are basically good, but fall prey to weakness, and end up being dammed for it. This is an uncharacteristic trait for a sin to have, and he is far different from his fellow sins, as he actually dislikes his job, but follows the rules (or rather, doesn't abuse them to cause more suffering). Jack finds himself slowly regaining memories the more he interacts with the angel Farrago. These same memories he finds is a curse to him, yet he drives on taking little bits of memories back here and there, and mulling over them in his vast expanse of time working. Farrago is an angel who had her wings removed from a previous battle in hell, but finds that she cannot help but be curious about the sin that displays compassion over his charges, and even takes interest in their well-being. Even so, by just talking to Jack, Farrago could end up in trouble, because fraternizing with the enemy tends to ruffle the feathers of some of the higher-ups. |

Kell. Kevin and Kell is an anthropomorphic (animals that are attributed
human-like qualities), serial strip that follows the lives of the Dewclaw
family. The Dewclaw family came together when a rabbit named Kevin Kindle

prey relationship and build a marriage together. From his previous marriage,
Kevin brought with him his adopted daughter, a hedgehog named Lindesfarne,
and Kell brought her son, a wolf named Rudy. In order to stay as much
out of public scrutiny as possible, they moved to the suburban town of
Domain, which bordered the great Wild, where animals still held the traditional
ways. Kevin started up his Internet Service Provider, Hare-Link, and Kell
continued to work as an executive for Herd Thinners, a company that specializes
in products made from prey species as well as trimming down the prey species
population. Together, they had a child, a carnivorous rabbit named Coney,
who looks just like a rabbit, but behaves like and has the same diet as
a wolf. As for humanity as a whole, they are only known to most people
as an online comic that Rudy draws in his spare time, but the various
bird species knows of the existence of humans in another dimension, and
provides a barrier between the two worlds.

Ryan Sohmer and Lar Desouza are the current cartoonists who create Least I Could Do, while Chad WM Porter and Trevor Adams are the former artists who worked with Ryan on Least I Could Do. Least I Could Do is a serial strip that follows the life of a writer named Rayne Summers. Rayne believes he is God’s gift to women, and frequently feels the need to share his gift with them. Aside from the pursuit of getting laid, Rayne spends a lot of his time scouting out new conquests and playing pranks on his friends. Rayne hates the idea of a continuous relationship, and for now plans on being a bachelor on the prowl until he dies. Rayne continues to chase his best female friend, Isse Alie, as they have been friends for years and she has been the one woman who he hasn’t been able to sleep with, not that he hasn’t tried. Isse prefers to keep Rayne as a friend, but seems to be secretly in love with him (due to the similarity of men she dates), but doesn’t want to ruin their friendship. Rayne rooms with his friend, John Gold, an elementary teacher, who is almost the exact opposite from Rayne. John seeks a long-term, stable relationship, and his sudden statements of asking women he just met to start a serious relationship, tends to keep him single. This has caused John to become a little bit desperate to find the right person for him, but not as much as his friend Mick Alfa. Mick is a mutual friend of Rayne and John, but ends up receiving the most abuse from they guys because of his almost utter failure to even get a date, let alone keep one. A lot of Mick’s problems stem from his habit of overeating and his lack of exercise. Rob Penfeild and Noel tend to get a lot of sarcastic remarks and outright insults from Rayne as they end up spending more time with their significant others, who rarely let them hang out with their friends.

Little Gamers is a strip in the gag-a-day format (having no ongoing storyline, but keeping the same characters) that follows the lives of the incarnations of the creators of the comic. Christian typically runs the comic with his poking stick and access to the scripts. He is known for his skill with Tekken and his biting political commentary about the United States. He enjoys most games (or at least making fun of them if he doesn't like them), when he can get the controllers away from Madsen. Madsen is a longtime friend of Christian, and prides himself on his pr0n (porn) collection. He even accepted his current job with the understanding that they had high-speed Internet access. Not known for his spelling, or personal hygiene, he rabidly defends his pr0n collection with his life. Fortunately for him, Marcus doesn't know too much about computers, and is slowly being ushered into the idea that the Internet has vast access to pr0n. He is an avid fan of the Final Fantasy series, and is slowly trying to fix his reputation between Christian and Madsen's ribbings, but they aren't making it easy for him. They all have to beware of the Cute Ninjas and their perchance for playing various ninja games on the Playstation 2, lest they be duct-taped to the ceiling again. |

of a undead sorceress of the scantily clad variety, named Nenwavriana

Isabel Gonzalez-Marks is the cartoonist who creates Namir Deiter. Namir Deiter is an anthropomorphic (animals who take on human-like qualities), serial strip that follows the lives of four girls. Tipper, a white and light orange cat, the youngest of the four, she is used to “benefiting” from the other girls advice, if she wants it or not! Tipper struggles through high school trying to find the right person to fall in love with, but hasn't had any luck as of so far. Fortunately, she has her sister, Snickers to help with her problems. Snickers Namir, a purple cat, is the oldest of the Namir sisters, and is one of the most levelheaded and responsible people around. She usually gets flack for sticking to the rules and tendencies toward mothering her younger sister, but she surprised them all when she married her boyfriend, Twix. Twix, a white and orange spotted cat, is eccentric in that he takes his mannerisms and manners from an earlier age of wearing tails and a top hat. He ended up taking the Namir name (much to his surprise) and moved into the Namir home when Snickers and Tipper's mother left the country on an open-ended trip. This amuses Blue Deiter, a blond cat with blue hair, to no end, because she gladly verbally spars with Twix from time to time. Blue is a free spirit, enjoying the moment, and the company of boys, but without the commitment. This stems from having come from a broken home, and running off to live with the woman she believes is her older sister. Fortunately, she has friends like Joy Satu, a formerly pink rabbit (now white), to amuse herself with. Joy loves computers, but is a shy person, as she felt self-conscious about the fact her fur would turn white in the winter. She is growing to accept this fact, but she seems to meet with several setbacks ranging from her longtime boyfriend leaving her and her friend Mallory having betrayed her. At least the others can take comfort in that she is getting better. |
