Wanna learn more about Fwubo, Pippin, Pumpki, and the whole gang? Read on!

 FWUBO is the hapless, luckless, and incredibly flappable protagonist of this comic.
He’s a bit of a lovable loser, in that his friends always walk all over him. Fwubo is the
editor of local newspaper The Fwubolicious Times, and is never seen without his hat. PIPPIN THE NEWT is the excitable owner of Boringsville’s local community theater.
He doesn’t really know all that much about the proper way to run a show, but does
understand the importance of the saying “the show must go on,” and thus will do
whatever it takes to keep plays going, even if it means making his friends suffer. GROUNDI is a grouchy pigeon who, in his heyday, was the most feared supervillain
in Boringsville. One too many stressful clashes left him psychotic, and the Great
Supervillain Strike of ‘0Whenever left him reformed. Nowadays, Groundi is an
automechanic and the proud head of LEED, the Legion of Ex-Evil Doers. He doesn’t
realize he says PLOOIE so much. PUMPKI is the head critic at The Fwubolicious Times, where he is Fwubo’s right-hand
man (er, right-wing gourd). He has a love-hate relationship with everything in the world,
and loves to complain about things, especially bad movies. Pumpki does really like video
games, though, and will do anything if it involves ninjas or giant robots. COPYCAT is a shapeshifting alien from space with stretchy arms and eyestalks.
He’s Groundi’s main partner-in-nastiness and also his assistant at the autobody shop.
Despite this, he’s not that unpleasant and spends much of his time hanging out with
Pumpki and Ghosti. He’s quite the computer whiz. ANANAS is a Canadian stunt pineapple. Apparently, that job exists. He loves living
life on the edge, which usually means jumping off of furniture and driving unsafely.
Though he seems like an idiot, Ananas has a surprising wealth of historical knowledge. PILOT is the only significant human
character. She’s cynical and sarcastic, but intelligent and cultured. Pilot loves the
arts, especially film. Pilot and Pumpki spend a lot of time together, fighting over taste in
movies. KOCOH THE SALAMANDER is Pippin’s girlfriend and the only serious actor in his whole
crazy theater troop. Because of this, she’s the only one who ever remembers her lines
and has little patience for the rest of the gang. Kocoh is the newest resident of Boringsville
(and also the newest character) and thus frequently needs explanations of the city’s customs. GHOSTI is Pumpki’s roommate and best friend, and happens to be a ghost. Not a ghost
of anyone, mind you, just a ghost. Like most of his species, he enjoys scaring people
and also the holiday of Halloween. Ghosti also likes extreme sports and online gaming,
and has accounts with multiple MMORPGs. MUDMAN is another reformed super villain. He’s a gigantic monster made of
mud, which gave him the most uncreative name in villainy. Today, he runs a
coffee joint on the edge of town called The Tastes Like Mud Cafe. He’s one
of Fwubo’s good friends. YORICK is a talking softball with a face drawn on it, making him the world’s only living
cheesy Hamlet prop. A former employee of Pippin’s late uncle, Merry Samweisenheimer,
Yorick has enough knowledge to be something of a mentor to Pippin. Pippin always has
to carry him around, because he is a softball and thus can’t go anywhere. THE INTERNING LIZARD GUY is just that. A student at Boringsville’s Garlian
University, the ILG is constantly placed in the worst internships imaginable--usually
a waiter. No one really cares enough to learn his real name, which is why he only
is given a description. He’s usually employed by Mudman these days, and plays
lead guitar for popular rock group Sounds Like Teal 2.0. The Boringsville Super Police is a team of geometric shapes and a leaf that
keeps Boringsville safe from evil do-ers. Clockwise from left: Superthing, Sphero,
Leaf, and Cubo. Sphero is actually not a member, but a local vigilante. Though the
gang does very little these days, they are prominently featured in issues of Boring
Classic. KRAKEN is one of Fwubo's closest friends and the janitor at Boring Rock Studios. Once the terror of Ancient Greece, a fight with Perseus and Medusa's severed head turned him into a Boring Rock. Now he's extremely good-natured and mellow--he's always giving out sage advice. O-FWUBB is Fwubo’s brainless idetical twin brother who looks different and is a couple of
years younger. He might not be very smart, but O-Fwubb always means well. Currently,
he’s learning to be a barrister over at the cafe, but O-Fwubb also maintains careers as a
science reporter for his brother and an experimental musician. GARLIAN was Fwubo’s roommate back in college, and the two have been friends since.
This happy-go-lucky dinosaur is the epitome of hyper, and he loves eating and shouting.
Garlian’s claim to fame is his comic series, “Tyranno-Bob’s Fun Era,” which is about his
hand puppet Tyranno-Bob in a quest to eat dinosaurs. Nobody likes it but him. Definitely
not a metaphor for this site. His other story pitches crash and burn as well. HOWIE THE TADPOLE is Pippin’s young apprentice. There really isn’t much to
say about him--just that he loves helping and is always willing to lend a hand, which
he has even though he’s a tadpole. His sister Kathleen is similar. THE LAVA KING, or Lava, was a powerful crime boss in downtown Boringsville,
where he ruled over the Lava Beasts that live there. After being apprehended
during the Great Villain Strike, he got a legal job. Now he runs the Commissary
at Boring Rock Studios and still talks like a mobster. Sorta. FLYO was the head of LEED back when it was still the Legion of Entirely Evil Do-ers.
Currently, he hosts a late-night news program and DJ’s the local radio station.
Flyo is also here for any joke that involves a giant pterodactyl, of which there aren’t
many that don’t also involve folk singer Harry Nilsson.  WOBBIE is a hellbender, a type of giant salamander from the Midwest.
He’s a brilliant inventor and a shrewd businessman, and his company
WOBBiEPro manufactures just about every product the citizens of Boringsville
use. WOBBiE’s real passion is stand-up comedy, though. He’s sort of a big
buffoon. FRED is WOBBiE’s toady and an axolotl. Not a toad. He works as WOBBiE’s bussiness
partner, which you’d never guess considering his lack of business attire. Mostly, his
job is to be WOBBiE’s straight-man. DEUMSPAH is the owner of the town’s general store, and also the postmaster
general. There isn’t much to say about him--just that he can only talk in a bizarre
language called Deumspahese that only uses the words “kip” and “pik.” He also
plays the drums in Sounds Like Teal 2.0. GAXX is an unlucky alien from the moon. Sometimes he looks like a slug, and sometimes
he looks like a flying saucer, but he’s always getting beaten up by falling objects. It’s okay,
Gaxx is surprisingly resilient. The SOOTHSAYER is a mysterious robed being from ancient Rome. He’s
basically the world’s worst seer: his predictions are usually along the lines of
“Something will happen to you eventually.” As a result, he also is a door-to-door
sock salesman. HEDGEHOG is Deumspah’s sidekick and Fwubo’s good friend. He can’t talk, instead
using signs to communicate. Hedgehog also plays keyboard in Sounds Like Teal 2.0. CLAMPER is the combative security guard at Boring Rock Studios. He is completely incapable of talking and making noises, instead choosing to express himself simply by being imposing. When not speaking little and carrying a big bludgeon, Clamper plays bass in Sounds Like Teal 2.0.
 THE BORING ROCKS are the characters for whom this comic is named. The mayors (read= kings) of the city-state of Boringsville, they control just about everything that goes on in a surprisingly lax manner. When not engaging in politics, they make films (hence the Studios).
