Johnny Space Commander

Womanizing captain of the USS Mainway. Among other people, he's currently dating Eileen.

Comics: 8
Recent Appearance: Darth of Ideas
First Appearance: Come on, Eileen

Maddie the Cat

Roberta's cat. Rumor has it that she was adopted during a brief trip to Earth.

Comics: 9
Recent Appearance: Cat-atonic
First Appearance: Get a Life

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!

Ralph Zinobop

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.

Comics: 199
Recent Appearance: The New Normal
First Appearance: Meanwhile, in Space....

Ralphie Zinobop

Ralphie Zinobop is an "evil" clone of Ralph Zinobop. Since Ralph was already evil, Ralphie popped out warm, caring and generally the nicest guy you’ll ever meet — essentially, he’s everything that the original Ralph is not. In addition to his personality, Ralphie is left-handed (Ralph is a “righty”), his DNA winds the opposite direction and his fingerprints are reversed.

Comics: 62
Recent Appearance: Pairodorks
First Appearance: Past Tense

Roberta Smeffinfeffer

Roberta Smeffinfeffer is level-headed, if not a little bit insecure. She has the tendency to follow her heart a little too much. Case in point: she's also Ralph (and Ralphie's) ex-wife. She has a background in space biology and studies medicine for awhile. She currently serves as doctor aboard the "Steel Duck."

Comics: 33
Recent Appearance: Hell Froze Over
First Appearance: The Other Shoe

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

Sammy the Hammy

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.

Comics: 85
Recent Appearance: Hoax on You
First Appearance: Meanwhile, in Space....

Whitley

A GRAISE crewman aboard Johnny Space Commander's spaceship, the USS Mainway. He's about the equivalent of Mayberry intelligence-wise. He's considered the general purpose crewman by Johnny and his crew.

Comics: 2
Recent Appearance: No Slime Like the Present
First Appearance: Dumb Luck

    Does anyone feel a sense of deja vu or is it just me ?

    Also I’m surprise there was no strip dedicated to the new Star Wars film considering how Mayberry is a big Sci-fi fan.

    Mayberry’s been stuck in his holding cell and hasn’t been able too see it yet. Also, I was afraid of posting spoilers. There are some Star Warsy things coming down the pike,though… and this was intended as a ref to Roberta’s problems with GRAISE clerical errors.

    I love how you repurposed Johnny Space Commander into a real character in this continuity.
