If you wish to learn about the cast, this is the page for you! (Of course, if you’re inclined to take it from the top and start with the first strip, you can do that, too.)
> Main Characters <
Jenelle Camilla Ives
A former physics grad student at Micimek University, her haywire experiments blew up her workplace (Hibbard Lab) and her home (Arghway Apartments). Just when she pieced her life back together, Jen found herself lost in time with colleague Milo and old friend Roy.
Likes: tubas, kung fu, novelties, giving it the ol’ college try.
Dislikes: tedium, surprises, explosions (a kind of surprise).
Roy Michael Sloan
There are those who cherish every sunny minute on this great Earth. Then there’s Roy, a man who wishes that life would just put a sock in it. Despite being a classics grad student, he has a somewhat unorthodox understanding of the past.
Likes: Olympians, democracy, epics, tragedies, hapax legomena.
Dislikes: most things (specifically: undergrads, bears of any kind)
Milo Nicholas Mamalakis
A fellow former physics student working at Micimek’s Hibbard Lab (now known as The Crater), Milo is a man with purple hair and purple dreams. With the verve of a mad scientist and the spirit of a young zoo patron, his childlike (perhaps “childish”) manner keeps Roy and Jen on their toes.
Likes: new frontiers, mysteries, zapping.
Dislikes: hocus pocus, hoodoo voodoo, abra cadabra.
Mr. Skeleton
The very friendly owner of Mister Skeleton’s Diner in Owl’s Rock. Is he actually a skeleton? A strong case is to be made either way:
YES, HE IS A SKELETON
- His name is “skeleton”
- He has no skin. Also, no organs.
- He is quite plainly a skeleton.
NO, HE IS NOT A SKELETON
- His t-shirt says he is not a skeleton.
We may never know the answer.
Likes: winter, buddies, jazz standards, Zeppelining
Dislikes: surprisingly, very little
> Micimek Faculty <
Professor Patrick Malloc
One of five professors to disappear in the Hibbard Lab explosion. An undergrad once lost his phone—and his soul—in the professor’s voluminous beard. Former poster child for nonterminal ocular hyperemia.
Likes: sabotage.
Dislikes: not-sabotage.
Professor Oswald Remington “O. R.” Donly
Another of five professors to disappear in the Hibbard Lab explosion. Will his beady eyes and wicked sideburns one day decrypt the mechanisms of the universe?
Likes: sandwiches.
Dislikes: dicking around.
Dean Heinrik Smallenstatur
Did not disappear in the Hibbard Lab explosion. He is either A) tiny because he is angry or B) angry because he is tiny. A fearsome force, particularly when jetpacking. Last seen battling a possum in Shivtown.
Likes: competency.
Dislikes: Jen, Spackle.
