his is the page where you come to learn more about all the curious inhabitants of this quaint little community that we like to call...The Fantastical Bestiary. The Fantastical Bestiary ran for about three years (imagine that!) and featured a numer of characters who were to reappear in Foreig Devils. Anyway, this page is here just in case you're curious about those good old days before we switched over. All the information below is as accurate as I remember to make it, but there are occassions (fairly frequently, in fact) where the info revealed in the actual comic strip contradicts the info in the cast biographies. If this happens, just assume that the comic is correct and that I'm an idiot for screwing it up here. Also, if you want to bring my mistake to my attention and tell me to me face that I'm an idiot, please do so at Great.Brain@Mailcity.com.

Special guest stars are all those loveable folks who pop into the strip for a few episodes and then vanish again without a trace. Will we ever see them again? Perhaps! Since most of these folks aren't really that important, only a select few really merit their own bio pages. The rest get a mention and a permanent place in our hearts as compensation.

Soccer Mom- A retired valkyrie. Soccer Mom is Hedwig and Lotte's mom and, besides an unwavering devotion to her daughters, not much is known about her. Ain't nobody gonna tell her how to raise her babies right. Probably drives an SUV.

Los Pantelones Del Fuego- An omen of doom, Los Pantelones Del Fuego appear dancing in the sky before any major disaster. The most horrible thing you'll ever see. Teriesius seems to know a lot about them.

Deacon Jack Cheese-A minister in the Church of Churchology, a bizarre pseudo-religion that failed to gain a foothold in the Featureless Void. Kind of a huckster. Wears a really bad toupee, and a leisure suit underneath his sacerdotal robes.
The Kodama-Little Japanese forest spirits that live inside the blue flower. Haven't done much yet.
Cthleen-Mikey's editor on "The Daily Necronomicon." Hates "The Fantastical Bestiary," wants to replace it with "Living in Greytown." Changed her mind after Mikey accepted her indecent proposal. Wears too much mascara.
Cardinal Sin- Head of the St. Aloysius Order of Assassins, strong arm of the Church of Churchology. Totally blind. Tried to kill Deacon Cheese but missed. Doesn't know it.

amiliars is a fairly crappy quasi spin-off comic that appeared in place of The Fantastical Bestiary a couple times. It's mostly notable for having been a sort of proto-Witchprickers comic, so you'll see some overlap in the two casts. But, just in case you were wondering, here's the cast of the original Familiars comics:

Syrynth, a witch
Ilemauzer, a bat
Holt, a toad
Jarmara, a polecat
Griezzel Greedigut, a cat
