Flatworm Jim

Flatworm Jim was the original pilot of the "Steel Duck." A six-foot-tall intelligent flatworm, Jim’s usefulness was cut short when he was injured, resulting in three versions -- good, bad and a two-headed neutral version. All three (or four) now live on Ralph’s asteroid tending to over 6 million hamsters.

Comics: 59
Recent Appearance: Better Late Than Never
First Appearance: Meanwhile, in Space....

Mayberry Melonpool

Mayberry Melonpool is the television-addicted, somewhat clumsy, not-all-that-intelligent Captain of the "Steel Duck." Oh yeah, and he's obsessed with getting a date. In short, he doesn't have a lot going for him.

Comics: 240
Recent Appearance: April What?
First Appearance: New Beginnings!

Sam T. Dogg

Sam T. Dogg is completely out of his element. He’s super intelligent, a highly-skilled pilot and has the most common sense of anyone aboard the "Steel Duck." Also, no one takes him seriously because he’s a dog.

Comics: 214
Recent Appearance: April What?
First Appearance: Beating the Odds

    Go, Mayberry! Sometimes you have to trust your instincts.

    Panel 7; Mayberry’s finger is not colored, and Sam’s controls are colored the same as Sam.

    Fixed them. Sometimes, it’s pretty apparent how color blind I actually am (I’ve spent the last 20 years pretty much coloring the comics by number — I have trouble with seeing the difference between light colors and grey and dark reds and dark browns. Thanks for being patient!)

    On another note, I’m really surprised you saw these! Do you look at them pixel by pixel, or am I really that color blind that it’s apparent to everyone else?

    No, it comes from drawing your own comic. I’ve spent enough time looking for errors like that while making my comic that I’ve basically got a trained eye for it.
    Fingers are easy to miss when coloring.

    Also, the really good comics are ones I like to read a couple times and absorb more of the story and artwork. I wouldn’t put it past you to slip in tiny details that foreshadow upcoming surprises.
