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. Karn enjoys going with the plot of the game and takes no notice of most of the oddities that exists in his world. 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.

Kit goes by a wide variety of names, and constantly changes her superhero identity so often that the media finally gave up trying to keep up with her and dubbed her Enigma. Her powers are mystically based and allow her to change into any animal that she has observed in person.

Jennifer Boeke is the cartoonist who creates Catharsis. Catharsis is an anthropomorphic (animals that are attributed human-like qualities), serial strip that follows the life of a woman named Gwenivere Ivy Dahlgren and her strange collection of roommates. Gwen was originally in a relationship with a guy for whom she moved away from the big city, to a quiet suburban town. 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.

Tim Buckley is the cartoonist who creates Ctrl+Alt+Del. Ctrl+Alt+Del is a serial strip that follows the lives of three (technically four) roommates: Ethan, Lucas, and Scott (with his pet penguin, Ted). Like most struggling artists, Ethan has to work a full-time job to pay the bills, unfortunately, he spends most (if not all) of his paycheck at the video game store where he works. This is due to the fact that Ethan has very little self-control, is incredibly impulsive, and has a severe addiction to playing video games. His love for video games knows no bounds, so much so that he created a holiday for gamers called Winter-een-mas, where he proclaimed himself king. Ethan's antics and wild flights of fancy usually has to be kept in check by his best friend, Lucas, for without his help, Ethan would be jailed or worse. Lucas is very skilled with computers, and if he could calm Ethan down for a long enough period of time, they both would be a formidable pair, but for the moment, he has to subsist on his computer technician jobs, despite the fact that he hates interacting with the unwashed masses in general. Lucas has to be the realistic and grounded one in the apartment, lest chaos reign and Ethan set loose on the city in full force. Scott is an Linux programmer and aficionado. He keeps such a low profile that Ethan had no idea Scott was even living there until he saw him once in the kitchen. Scott's job and hobbies are just as mysterious as he is, as (for probably a good reason) he doesn't socialize too much with his roommates. Of the three, Scott is the most reserved, and therefore usually has a calm head when the situation escalates, but even he will go with the flow of Ethan's jaunts, all the while quietly moving his things to a safe distance.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Over the course of Roomies, Sal leaves Danny for unknown reasons (at the time) and later joins a secret paramilitary organization named SEMME. Aliens abduct Joyce and Joe, and Joyce is forcibly recruited by SEMME after they save her from her second abduction. We are then introduced to a young SEMME agent named Walkterton or Walky for short (for who the new incarnation of the strip is named). Walky falls for Joyce but is unable to say anything about it for a long time, then later ends up dating Joyce (after a lot of things happen) when she realizes she returns the feelings. Joe gets forcibly recruited after his college graduation when Sal finds out that he was abducted. Meanwhile, Danny has been in the dark about everything and ended up having a relationship with a kindred spirit named Billie, but still has unresolved feelings for Sal. He gets a crash course in all of this when an alien incident is publicly staged where he finds out that Joyce and Joe are in fact alive, and that Sal is alive and well (so to speak). Sal had left SEMME to fight the aliens in her own way, and had found out that she had Martian DNA and a lot of power to boot. When she returns to the story, she goes on a rampage, attacking SEMME agents and aliens alike. After regaining her senses (from seeing Danny) she later submits to authorities and is placed in jail. Danny still pines for Sal and is straining his relationship with Billie to visit Sal on a regular basis. Confused yet? All this and much, much more are in store for you in It's Walky.

There was a little bit of turbulence when they realized how different they really were, but managed to overcome the traditional predator and 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The stress causes Mike to have a fierce caffeine addiction due to the fact that has to not only put up with the customers crashing the network, but also the blunders of Stef Murky, the Corporate Sales Manager. Stef doesn't really work well with computers, but feels that his position is far superior to the computer technician's position, so if anything goes wrong, he is more than happy to let them know. Stef's constant crashing of the network causes problems for Greg Flemming, the help desk technician a lot of problems as well, as he is the front-line support with the customers. To help handle all of the downtime, The Chief hired an additional technician, Miranda Cornielle, to keep the servers up and running. Finally, the last employee, A.J. Garrett, is the web technician who is in charge of maintaining the website and graphical content of Columbia Internet.
