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.
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.
Ralph Zinobop is the inventor of the "Steel Duck." He is eager to enter the next phase of his plan: to make money off his inventions to regain his rightful place as ruler of the Planet Zinobop — a planet that he was exiled from by his paranoid father several years ago. His other hobbies include wild get-get-rich schemes and drinking copious amounts of coffee. He also has a terrible temper.
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.
Sammy the Hammy is a genetic experiment gone horribly awry. Sammy is part of the ship’s equipment (he’s the engine) as well as a member of the crew. For this reason, Ralph never bothered giving him a name and he remained known as “Hamster 42” for much of his life.
Hey Steve, I don’t know how to break this to you, but I think some of your characters are aware that they are in a comic, and they might be plotting a revolt.
…I can see Ralph’s notes, and all they say is “Steve Troop” so obviously he knows something is up.
Ha! This comic was so full of art that I had to put my signature someplace! We’re almost to the end of what was originally going to be a three-week storyline. I promise!
Something old, something new. Something slimy and something with two.
Well, at least Ralph’s consistent. He wants to keep a dumb monkey to take care of Sammy.
But knowing Mayberry, it will be like throwing a monkey wrench in the engine.
Not sure is Sam is sticking up for Mayberry or just doesn’t want to work directly with Ralph.
