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

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?

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

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

    To be fair, Ralph possibly DOES have a duplicating machine!

    And it’s Jim again, doing dup-o-matic gags without a dup-o-matic. (Though to be fair, Mayberry was prime mover for this one.)

    If the Jims keep this up, the strip won’t even need a dup-o-matic. 🙂

    What constitutes a “Dup-o-matic” gag? A joke about duplicates?

    Good question. I think the requirements are
    1) a Steve Troop creation (or, I guess, a strong reference),
    2) the action of creating duplicates, seen or referenced, wherein we have
    3) a reference to some trait of the original dup-o-matic.

    So far I have noted the following references:
    3a) split by personality trait, creating “opposites”,
    3b) repeated duplication of the same individual, with varied results, and
    3c) duplication performed by machine.

    On the other hand, it may well be my brain creating patterns where there is none. Like, am I the only one seeing the dup-o-matic here? :-\
