Protagonists

As of "Perfect/Ugly" I've introduced most of the Central Protagonists of my book for the foreseeable future. I've got some fairly important Side Characters that will be introduced (or, in some cases, re-introduced. Anyone remember Mr. Dark, Pom-Pom Girl, and Aphrodite Midnite?) in the January 06 issue. Beyond that, I'm gonna keep the current cast as is for awhile. I've got a few more guys percolating in the back of my head (a redesigned Mr. Macabre is currently bouncing around), but I don't wanna bring em in until 1) I've developed em better, and 2) I've actually finished a few of the stories involving the current cast.

Regardless, I've got a pretty eclectic bunch of main characters going. Sure there are similarities linking all of them (which makes sense, cause at the end of the day, I'm the common denominator in every character in the book), but essentially, every character has a different personality, motivation (or lack thereof), appearance, and moral code. Which I think is cool.

Anyway, the last two Main Characters that will be introduced in "SDF: Very Odd Jobs" are BoJangles and Lab Bunny. BoJangles has, to date, only appeared in two convention sketches and on the November webcomic. He's easily the least physically interesting character I've ever created. In fact, his main character point is that he's this sort of hollow void, bouncing from one obscenely bizarre situation to another. Lab Bunny, on the other hand, popped up in "Super Duper Fun Comix: Insano" and "Deluxe Super Duper Fun Comix with Cheez". The "new" Lab Bunny is based on the Lab Bunny that appears in these older books, but he's a lot different. He's angrier, scarier, and more bitter than he was in previous outings. Visually, I think he's gonna prove to be one of my most interesting characters to date.

Quick side note: The TorcPress store on CafePress has been updated. Hopefully, I can use the buttons as Promo tools for Chicago. Thanks Shafe!

In response to Amazo, I just have to ask: Can you program a secure shopping cart and online store front in a short time with no errors?

In responce to Shafe's responce, the "Merch store" is just a free site connected to CafePress.com that just sells CafePress stuff. In order to make an actual store that'll sell the comics, my buddy Shafe has to create a store from scratch. We'll get it up, it's just gonna take some time.
