Josh Mirman is the cartoonist who creates Punks and Nerds. Punks and Nerds is a comic in the gag-a-day format (having no overall storyline, but maintains the cast of characters) that follows the lives of two cousins, Brad and Mike. Both Brand and Mike are aspiring artists who are heavily into the punk culture. Mike is very impulsive and open about his wants or desire, and this is due to his growing belief that he has a power to make wishes come true, but doesn't use it often. He spends a lot of his time trying to relive elements that he enjoyed from his childhood, such as playing on his Nintendo game console, but doesn't let his desire try to make him constantly chase after the past. Brad is shy when it comes to taboo subjects (such as talking frankly about sex), and gets embarrassed easily when talking with Mike or his longtime friend Jade, who he has become romantically involved with (notably after Mike granted Brad's wish for it to happen). Jade works in a comic book store for the benefits, but dislikes the typical customers that frequent the store. Mike and Brad consider Jade to be one of the "guys" as she can usually talk circles around them both, but also has a philosophical side that she shares only when she feels overwhelmed with life. Jade also spends a lot of her time with Sara, who used to be Caucasian before Mike made a wish that she was an Asian, so he could have more friends of different minorities. Sara is very much into computers and technical things, but keeps it hidden from people lest they make fun of her. Sara is dating the local superhero vigilante named Bruceman, who travels around with Brucelad, solving crime and helping people out, and all while wearing underwear on his head.

Jeph Jacques is the cartoonist who creates Questionable Content. Questionable Content is a serial strip that follows the life of a music aficionado named Marten Reed. Martin is very educated when it comes to music, but he has difficulty opening up to strong women unless he is able to relax around them. Martin's timidity towards women and attraction to strong females is partially due to the fact that his mother is Veronica Vance, a famous S&M dominatrix who stared in many erotic videos. That's not to say that he is interested in his mother that way, but it did have a formative impression on him since he knew what she did for a living ever since he was a child, and thought it was a normal thing. He works in an office complex, as a office assistant (of course his business cards call him "office bitch", but his boss is just being playful), but it's a job he really doesn't like. Fortunately, he met a girl named Faye Whitaker, who he falls for. Originally from the southern United States, Faye moved north to escape from some problems in her past, which keep her on the defensive most of the time. Due to a fire at her apartment complex, she moved in with Martin and quickly established a strong friendship with Martin, but because of her past, she doesn't take the friendship any further. Faye works at a coffee shop where her boss, Dora Bianchi, allows her to vent any anger or frustration she might have on the customers, in order to keep up the ideal of aloof coffeehouse baristas. Dora immediately showed an interest in Martin (much to the secret annoyance of Faye), but has to wait for Martin to sort out his feelings for Faye, which leaves her waiting until Faye can sort through her past troubles in order to see if she has real feelings for Martin.

Greg Dean is the cartoonist who creates Real Life. Real life is set in modern times in the United States. Real Life is a weekday serial strip that follows the lives of seven friends in their psuedo-real life situations. Real Life usually deals with game playing, fighting evil computer versions of them, or just having fun. The cast is as follows: Greg, the cartoonist, creator of the world, he doles out rewards or punishments to the characters that he has made. Usually he is only seen as a disembodied voice; Greg (the character) a fantasy gamer and sword ends up being the one the cartoonist favors (we all wonder why right? :) ) yet, ends up being the one who gets into the most trouble; Dave is a quake-loving gamer who spends most of his time honing his skills in first person shooters, and working to create the best computer system around; Crystal is Greg's (the cartoon version) girlfriend, but is not to be dismissed lightly, since she is as big of a gamer as the rest of them; Tony is a gamer like the rest, but unlike the rest, he takes old systems and makes fantastic things out of them.

A cartoonist nicknamed Eight created Road Waffles. Road Waffles was a serial strip that followed the life of a trigger-happy young woman named Haley. After stealing her ex-boyfriend's car and leaving town, she would drift from town to town seeking something to make her life more exciting. One thing that she found to make her life more exciting was to hold up gas stations. One day she held up a gas station that Bruno worked at. When she held him up, he ended up going with her, leaving his gas-pumping life behind. They had many adventures on the road, ranging from fighting a psychopathic gun-toting squirrel, to running into a serial killer with a fetish for pigs, to even a kid-turned-zombie and his horde of zombie road kill.

Clay & Hampton Yount are the cartoonists who create Rob and Elliot. Rob and Elliot is a serial strip that follows the lives of two apartment roommates, for whom the comic is named after, Rob and Elliot. After college, Rob entered the "lucrative" career of selling his various bodily fluids to whoever will buy them, and Elliot earned a teaching degree and teaches "English as a Second Language" at the local college. Of the two, Rob is the more impulsive one, almost immediately saying or doing things right after he thinks of them, no matter what the consequences may be. For some reason, Rob undeniably attracts strange and unusual occurrences to him, just as a magnet attracts iron filings to it, which is probably the cause of his impulsive nature. These frequently strange occurrences tend to stress Elliot out, as he is the more grounded of the two, and worries about the consequences on his career and life. This does cause some stress between the two, as Elliot frequently feels like he is the only adult living in the apartment, and wishes Rob would take things a little bit more seriously and take on more responsibilities. Of course, Rob doesn't plan on doing anything more than he has to, and prefers to spend his time planning out strange and intricate plans, as the whim to do so takes him. This doesn't mean that the two are incompatible, since they share a lot of the same interests and have a similar sense of humor.

Reinder Dijkhuis is the cartoonist who creates Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan. Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan is a weekday serial strip that is the story of a thieving band of the same name that operate in Clwyd-Rhan. Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan is set in a medieval European setting, but is a fantasy comic. The band is led by Ragnarok "Pulp" Torvaldsen, and comprises the following members: Kel Mansdóttir a half-faerie witch; Jodoque Davignon a bard; Tamlin LLamfarythich, former leader of the gang and fierce thief berserker, now a drunk; Atra Cambrensis a slightly addle-minded witch; and Jake the Gnome, a fighter who speaks rarely save to make a smart mouthed comment. As the name suggests the thieving band primarily steals for a living, but sometimes does a job for people who can pay the right price. Most of the time that price has to include a large amount of beer or ale in order for the Rogues to be interested in the job.

Kat and Roland “Jim” Lowery are the cartoonists who create Role of the Die. Role of the Die is a serial strip that follows the lives of a fantasy role-playing game group. Jim North is the group’s GM (Game Master), and is the storyteller, mediator, and final arbiter of what happens during the game. Unfortunately for his players, Jim is a highly capable GM, using his high intellect, active imagination, and sadistic PC (Player Character) killing streak to completely disregard the player’s goals and cut loose on them. This isn’t to say that he is completely unjustified in doing so, if you look at the players he has to deal with on a regular basis. Robert “Rabid” Smith is a shining example of what can irritate Jim, a player who’s thirst for killing NPCs (Non-Player Characters) rivals Jim’s bloodlust for PC deaths. Rabid ends up receiving the brunt of Jim’s wrath, as a player whose character kills everyone the party might come in contact with, can spoil carefully laid out storylines. Rabid’s usual favorite to torment, is David Marsh, a novice gamer who really doesn’t have a clue of what is going on in the game, but just enjoys being included. Dave’s indecision during critical times can be vexing for Jim, but at least he participates, unlike Mouse Game. Mouse is an anthropomorphic (animals who take on human-like qualities) mouse. Still being in High School, he is still a little shy around the rest of the college level members of the group, but he tries to participate. Mouse requires a lot of prodding to get into the game, unlike his sister Kat Game. Kat is an anthropomorphic (animals who take on human-like qualities) cat, who enjoys twisting situations around and manipulating others. This would probably be far more vexing for Jim if he wasn’t so smitten by the fact that Kat is an attractive female gamer, and thus is an ideal girlfriend for him. Finally, the last member of the group (which was also the first to join), Jammer, seems to balance out the group by letting others take the forefront. He also manages to control Jim’s temper, and to keep him out of too much trouble when the other players manage to get a rise out of Jim.

Dan Canaan is the cartoonist who creates Roomies: Crimes Against Nature. Roomies: Crimes Against Nature is an anthropomorphic (animals that are attributed human-like qualities), serial strip that follows the life of two roommates, a pony named Flinthoof and a tiger named Tibo. Flinthoof is a computer tech who has a severe addiction to any kind of mint. Tibo, a green and orange striped tiger (think Cringer from He-man), is a computer programmer. Their lives are peaceful for the most part, aside from "little things" ranging from their computer calling itself Borg and trying to take over the house, to Flinthoof's pet ferrets converting their cage into a car then proceeding to attempt to take over the world, to even going into cyberspace to bring back the ferrets.

Sam Logan is the cartoonist who creates Sam and Fuzzy. Sam and Fuzzy is a serial strip that follows the life of two roommates. Sam is a struggling 24-year-old bookstore clerk at Burton's Books, while he tries to make up enough money for wrecking a taxi at his former job. Sam has no idea what he wants most of the time, let alone what sort of goal he is working towards. Sam tries to put up a brave front, bragging to his friends about his life so that they don't really know how unhappy he is, but Sam isn't that good of a liar. All throughout his life, Sam has been plagued by insecurities and doubts, a fact that allows him to be easily manipulated by others (such as Fuzzy). Fuzzy, an anthropomorphic (animals that are attributed human-like qualities) bear, who frequently causes Sam no end of trouble. Fuzzy is extremely impulsive and says whatever is on his mind, and most of which is not all that pleasant. Fuzzy has some psychological issues, but despite his aggressive and psychotic behavior, he really does care about Sam, even if it's because Sam is his favorite little toy. Fortunately for Sam, his coworker and former girlfriend, Alexa, tries to help Sam along. This is partially because she can see some of her own insecurities mirrored in him and partially due to her unresolved feelings towards him. The reason for their initial breakup is mostly due to Sam's resentment towards her attempts at helping him, as she did not realize that he does not truly want to fix his problems at the moment. Sam is usually blinded to the fact that others try to help him out, and casually dismisses their advice. For now, Sam is content to amble through life, wallowing in self-pity at his situation, but unwilling to try and change things, as all change is usually accompanied by some risk.

John Allison is the cartoonist who creates Scary-Go-Round. Scary-Go-Round is a spin-off serial strip from the comic, Bobbins, that follows the lives of several former employees of the now defunct magazine, City Limit. Tim Jones is the current mayor of Tackleford who is an inventor of many strange, but occasionally useful inventions. A lot of Tim's work crosses over to mad science, but he tends to be kept in check from crossing over to evil mad science by his friends and lovers. Fallon Young is a former secret agent, who was not very good at completing all aspects of her job in a quiet manner, but generally got the job done. Her life tends to be far more action-packed than those of her friends, and she ends up spending a lot of her time off in other countries. Ryan Beckwith enjoys life as a professional slacker, a trait that rubbed off on him some from his father, who was grooming him to become "the king of the tramps" and live a hobo's life. Having turned his back on his father's wishes, Ryan spends a lot of time with his friends, as he struggles to find meaning in his life. Shelly Winters was the former mayor's secretary, and due to his peculiar nature and various neurosis, Shelly was able to run the whole city with an iron fist. This posed a problem if and when she got drunk, as a lot of her pent up aggression would come streaming forth, and cause embarrassments in public. In recent years, Shelly has had a number of brushes with death, and successfully faced her greatest fear in order to be able to return to the land of the living. Amy Chilton is the daughter of Len Pickering, the former editor and owner of City Limit. Amy was not spared any expense as she was growing up, as her father could never really say no to his little girl, and as such, she grew up a little spoiled. She was the former assistant to Tim in his workshop, but due to an attempted theft of his time-traveling teapot, she was dismissed of that position.

David Willis is the cartoonist who creates Shortpacked!. Shortpacked! Is a serial strip that follows the lives of the employees of a individual retail toy outlet called Shortpacked!. Galasso, the store manager, has delusions of grandeur, and treats his managerial experience at Shortpacked! as one step in his master plan of taking over the world. As such, he views his employees as his own minions, and expects nothing but the very best in results and loyalty to him and his mission. One of Galasso's favorite employees, Ethan, on the other hand, humors his boss's quirks and rants, because it has been his dream to work in a toy store since he was little. Ethan tries his best to keep his job but not to undermine his underlying values, but is not always successful. Despite any lapses, he loves toys, and he makes sure that each and every customer feels happy with their purchases, because the remembers the feelings he had upon receiving toys when he was a kid. Robin is a newly hired employee, but in her short time at the store, she has proven herself to be a swift worker, rivaling Ethan for Galasso's approval. Whimsical and subject to flights of fancy, Robin was formerly employed by a secret government organization(see It's Walky), and she took the job at Shortpacked! simply because it interested her. She has taken to befriending her fellow employee, Amber, as she noticed Amber's tendency towards being shy and introverted, and hopes to one day bring Amber out of her shell. Robin was surprised to see Mike also working in the store, as he used to work at the government facility with her, but was never really friendly with people. Mike enjoys working as a customer service representative, as it allows him to screw over and berate the customers on a daily basis. The last employee, Rick, spends most of his time practicing to be a ninja, and always tries to sell ninja merchandise to any customer, no matter what they came to the store for originally.

Tatsuya Ishida is the cartoonist who creates Sinfest. Sinfest is a comic in the gag-a-day format (having no overall storyline, but maintains the cast of characters) that follows the lives of two friends, Slick and Monique. Slick is a self-proclaimed pimp, but finds that he has difficulty convincing all of the women he meets of that fact. Of course, this doesn't mean that he is after all of the women he meets, but only the attractive ones. Slick constantly sings his own praises and usually ends up driving the object of his affection away. Monique, on the other hand, does not have a problem finding guys, but rather her problem is finding someone that she likes, who will dote on her every whim, is financially secure, and is a genuinely nice guy. Unfortunately for her, most of the guys she likes are either taken or are full of themselves, so she spends a lot of her time hanging out with Slick. Monique has no interest in Slick as he is, but usually finds that she has nothing better to do. Slick also hangs out with his assistant Criminy and his comrade-in-arms, an anthropomorphic (animals that are attributed human-like qualities) pig named Squigley. Criminy helps Slick keep track of his appointments, the tracking patterns of hot women, the list of women who turn him down, and various other menial tasks. Criminy doesn't seem to mind, as he sees Slick as sort of an ideal version of what he would like to be. Squigley, on the other hand, shares a lot of Slick's attitude towards women, but without any of the charm. He prefers to believe that a man should act as a man, and not have to primp or preen in order to impress a woman. Of course, since Slick and Squigley's methods haven't worked yet, Slick is open to other ideas and options.

Pete Abrams is the cartoonist who creates Sluggy Freelance. Sluggy Freelance is a serial strip that follows the lives of two friends, Riff (Riffington) and Torg. Riff is an inventor and mechanical genius that is able to create new technologies sometimes utilizing mundane equipment. While Riff can create a lot of wonderful inventions, they often lack a lot of practical planning or are not followed through upon, which sometimes results in trouble. He has difficulties with his mother, a famous talk show host who goes by the name of Dr. Lora, who takes out a lot of her personal anger over her divorce on her callers, often breaking them down to tears. Torg loves to sit back and take life as it comes, treating every day like he used to as a child, fully enjoying life. He prefers to not work, but does have the necessary skills required to be a web designer, and sometimes offers his services over the Internet. Torg really is the last person who someone can call as being responsible, but lately the rest of the housemates have noticed a distinct change in Torg's demeanor, due to his experiences in an alternate reality. The source of a lot of Torg's change is one of the other housemates and his good friend, Zoë. Zoë is practically the sole source of reason in the household, as she finds that Torg and Riff's schemes are often silly or ill conceived, and she often has to bear the brunt of the financial responsibilities for maintaining the house. Torg and Zoë have developed a close friendship that could blossom into romance if they could have a sane moment together, and provided that Torg didn't do something to ruin the moment. Gwynn, the other human roommate, is a practicing witch, through the book of E-Ville, a terrible book that she promised not to work with, but hasn't strictly enforced. Since a lot of accidents end up coming her way, she takes out a lot of her anger on Torg and Riff, but can usually be mollified through bribes of video games. Kiki (a hyperactive anthropomorphic ferret with a problem keeping her mind on something for a long enough period of time) and Bun Bun (an often psychotic, switchblade-wielding, anthropomorphic mini-lop) usually also reside in the house, often causing their own brands of trouble.

Owen Gieni and Chris Crosby are the cartoonists who create Sore Thumbs. Sore Thumbs is a serial strip that follows the life of Cecania Greensworthington, the black sheep of a wealthy conservative family. Cecania is very political, and inserts her viewpoints on politics in everyday conversation, as well as any relevant facts that she find that relate to the topic. Since she is so vocal about her viewpoints and how much she disparages George W. Bush, she has to go and work for her brother, Fairbanks. Fairbanks is also very political, but follows in his mother's footsteps and is a very staunch conservative. He blindly follows the beliefs and teachings of other more important conservatives, and berates anyone for having a difference in opinion to his. Fairbanks finds himself inexplicably drawn to Cecania's friend, Harmony, despite having somewhat different beliefs. Harmony originally was going to marry Fairbanks since Cecania told her to do so, in order to get him out of the way, but has since found herself drawn to him as he has a commanding presence (but lacks the coherency of a leader). One of the reasons why she is marrying him is to get out of working, and tends to blindly follow along with what he is saying; if she can understand him or not. The newest employee and co-owner, Sawyer Kaden, was once a soldier in Iraq until a certain accident left him unable to conceive children, and was allowed to leave military service. Since he received a number of video games as good-will gifts, his stock of games was the perfect addition to Sore Thumbs to keep it above the likes of the competition, such as all-around crazy man, Rondel Mayflower IV.

Erlak managed to get a large talking rat named Nezhoni as the mount for his new champion. Needless to say the young adventurer (whose name hasn't been revealed yet) is thinking over why he wanted to be the champion to the God of Soup. Erlak is happy with his new champion and now works to try and complete his other goals.

Memmon can be pretentious, lording over others that he runs the only starship museum, and is quick to point out the relative significance of any object aboard the Fuseli, taking pride in his formidable knowledge of ancient and obscure art culture. He can be demanding at times, expecting no less than perfection from his crew, particularly of the Cirbozoid (an asexual insect-like species) Operations Assistant, called Mr. Jinx (his actual name being unpronounceable in English or even in his native language). Despite this, Mr. Jinx works efficiently at his duties as the first-officer (see Operations Assistant) of the Fuseli, and if needed, Mr. Jinx can always reproduce another of his race quickly (within minutes), in order to double his effective output. Cutter Edgewise is a reformed space pirate, setting aside his criminal ways to pilot the Fuseli. Sometimes it seems like he didn't quite leave the space pirate life of his own accord, as old habits die hard, but he is still considered the best pilot around.
