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....

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

    I’m not sure I should ask this, but how’s the writer’s block coming along? 😀

    It’s over — swamped with work and the Musical. I should be able to finish up this story tonight and get back to regular updates again next week. The good news is, I have plenty of ideas now — just not enough hours in the day!

    I have every intention of coming back regularly this week — so much has happened this last month that I wasn’t prepared for and it’s made the comic difficult to find time for. In short — Erik and my musical has taken off like gangbusters and has been extended now three times. Also, a tree fell on my car on June 8 and I have to deal with insurance and finding a new car — all of which was finally taken care of today (7/13). It’s hard to keep drawing when you don’t have a car to buy art supplies!

    What madness is this where we have Bloom County again, but no Melonpool?

    I know! The good news is that I’m back at the drawing board and have a few strips drawn — I just haven’t posted them yet because I’ve been so busy with the musical and the car repairs (oh yeah — a tree fell on my car), that I haven;t gotten enough of a backlog yet to start up again. Soon though — very soon. My life seems to be balancing out again!

    Hey, since it looks like you’re fairly responsive to this comments section, itswalky.com has been rerunning the original strips for a long time and they just got to the old Walky/Melonpool crossover. The only trouble is that Willis doesn’t have any of the strips available at a resolution higher than 600px!

    http://www.itswalky.com/comic/youll-be-telling-your-grandchildren-about-this-day-melonpool/

    Willis says, “If you’re seeing this, Steve, answer your emails!” If you’re as bad about checking email as I am, I thought I’d let you know.

    Got the file ready for whenever Willis emails me. I don’t have his email either, so he should email me at melonpool@gmail.com , Also, Melonpool will be back this Saturday, right where it left off!
