the band. He is a work-a-holic when it comes to band
matters. The harder he works, though, the more the
others slack off.

the band of every cent he can but at the same time come
down like a hammer on anyone else trying to exploit or
take advantage of the band. He feels that's his job.
Mad Jacky will pretty much book the band to play just
about anywhere, no matter how bad the venue is. He also
doesn't care how much they pay. He is the booking agent

being ruthless in the business. |

Rob Farley:
Rob Farley is a Jamaican immigrant who likes to smoke de ganja
mon. He is Bing's Co-worker and closest friend on the job.
Actually, he may very well be Bing's only friend on the job.
Since becoming Bing's friend on the job, he has also been
introduced to the rest of the band and has become friends with
them as well.
Even though his musical preferences are more along the lines of
Reggae, he still likes to regularly attend the band's shows. Rob
has a very laid back and relaxed style. He never sweats the
small stuff. |
|
|
Super Crack Ho:
Super Crack Ho, safe to say, is not your typical super hero
type. Sure, she has the cape thing going for her but beyond
that, she is very unique. Among her unique qualities, she is a
crack addict. But she does not let that slow her down in her
crime fighting activities. In fact, she really gets going good
when she's all wacked-out on crack.
Super Crack Ho is a mild mannered librarian by day, named
Velvita Buttersworth, and by night, a dumpster diving, crack
smoking crime fighter/ho. She heads the team of superheroes
called the Dysfunctionals. |
|
|
Dizzy Izzy:
Izzy, short for Isabel, is Crash's
girlfriend. She's a bit of an airhead. That's why they call her
Dizzy Izzy. She's a pretty girl. but, quite frankly, nobody
knows what the hell she sees in Crash.
Izzy drives Crash around because he
keeps losing his license for various reasons. She even drives
him to band practice and acts as sort of a roadie for him too.
She attends every gig that the band performs at as well. Izzy is
probably the band's biggest fan. She'll drive around and hang up
flyers for the band's shows, run errands for them and do that
driving around thing for Crash all of the time. |
|
|
Gina:
Gina is Bang's girlfriend and Izzy's best friend. Gina and Izzy
hang out a lot together. Well, that's when Izzy isn't driving
Crash somewhere. Gina attends every gig the band performs, right
along with Izzy. They are always in the front row together
watching the guys perform. They know all the words to every song
the band plays.
Gina gives Bang the space he needs to do his music thing. She
likes the attention she gets for being the guitarist's
girlfriend. She always makes a point of mentioning that the
guitar player is her boyfriend. |
|
|
Trey McDonald:
Trey works alongside Crash on his day job at the diner. He is
really encouraging to Crash as he pursues his musical ambitions.
He kind of lives out his dreams through his friend, Crash.
Trey is a regular attendee at all of the band's gigs. He likes
to slam dance and mosh. He will even do a little stage diving
into the crowd when the band lets him onto the stage at a gig.
Trey comes in real handy at times when the band has a tough
crowd and some kind of brawl breaks out. He is a really good guy
to have on your side. |
|
|
Nagatha Billingsly:
Her actual name is Agatha but the guys in the band nicknamed her
Nagatha because she always nags her husband, Bing. The guys in
the band don't call her that around Bing though. That just
wouldn't be cool.
She never attends any of the band's gigs or rehearsals. She
doesn't socialize with anyone in the band and has absolutely no
desire to do so. She tries to make it as difficult as possible
for Bing to do anything band related in the hopes that he
eventually will just give up and quit out of frustration. |
|
|
Becky and Brian Billingsly:
Becky and Brian are the two children of Bing and Agatha. They
are not very well behaved. In fact, they are just downright
rotten. Sometimes they will be unloading on their father while
his wife is nagging him too.
Any time the kids see something advertised on television, they
nag their father until he gives in. If he doesn't give in, they
bother their mother, who will then nag Bing to give them what
they want. These kids specialize in pitting one parent against
the other in order to get what they want. |
|
|
Mr Ronald Cash:
This is Crash's father, Ronald Cash. He is very critical of his
son and his lack of good judgment, lack of a sense of direction,
lack of a work ethic and, well, his general lack or redeeming
qualities.
He and his wife are often at odds and argue about matters
concerning their only son, Stanley. But every now and then, he
will break down and do something nice for his son. When it
really comes down to it, he really isn't all that bad. It's just
that he feels his son needs a little prodding and poking at
times to sort of nudge him along to put him on the right path. |
|
Mildred Cash:
Mildred Cash is Crash's mother. She likes to baby her little
Stanley. After all, he is her only boy. She even makes his bed
for him. But even though she allows him to do practically
anything he wants, she will not tolerate foul language.
Mildred is the type of mother that can't accept the idea that
her son could be at fault for anything. Someone always had to
put her impressionable young boy up to it. Although, Mildred
does not care for Punk Rock music, she has always been a great
source of encouragement for her boy and his music. |
|
|
Nurse Wretched:
This is nurse Agnes Anne Wretched. She works at the hospital
with Boom. She is really quite nasty. She pretty much dogs Boom
all day long telling him to do one dirty job after another. Then
she will nitpick the quality of his work.
Agnes is very quick with a joke that is usually at someone
else's expense. In most cases, they are at Boom's expense. She
is also one of those people who laugh out quite loud at their
own jokes; which makes her all that much more annoying to those
who are the targets of her insulting jokes. |
|
|
Crystal Meth Man:
Crystal Meth Man is a superhero that is the sidekick of Super
Crack Ho. His secret identity is that of your friendly
neighborhood grub named, coincidentally enough, Michael Grubbinson.
Often, he will be seen grubbing something off of someone like
money or a cigarette. Of course, when he "borrows" something
from someone, he never actually pays it back. I guess it kind of
goes with being a grub. He's another member of the superhero
team called the Dysfuntionals. |
|
|
John Jerkinson:
John Jerkinson is a bit of a jerk. Actually, he is more than
just a bit of a jerk, he is a total jerk. He is Boom's next door
neighbor, the neighbor from hell. He also frequents the
restaurant that Bang works at and can be quite the tough
customer.
Jerkinson is Bing's co-worker too. On the job, he is one hell of
a backstabber. It is the one thing on the job that he really
excels at. John Jerkinson will definitely be the one guy from
this comic strip series that everyone will love to hate. He is
almost guaranteed to rub just about everyone the wrong way. |
|
|
Harvey Chesterfield Harvey:
Harvey Chesterfield Harvey is Bing's Boss at the H.C. Harvey
Advertising Agency. He refers to Bing by his last name,
Billingsly. He is not a bad boss at all really. It's just that
Bing prefers his music career over his job at the agency. Mr
Harvey still tries to be a mentor to Bing, though, because he
truly believes that Bing has a lot of potential.
Mr Harvey will be completely oblivious to the fact that Bing
hates his job. The office environment here will be used as an
opportunity to introduce corporate, business, media and
advertising related humor. |
|
|
Uncle Frank Bangston:
This is Bang's uncle. He is the one that owns the restaurant
where Bang works during the day. He calls Bang Gerry and shows
favoritism towards him over the other employees at the
restaurant.
Frank never had a son of his own and that's why he shows so much
favoritism towards his nephew Gerry. When Gerry was a kid, his
Uncle Frank would take him places, buy him things and basically
spoil him rotten. Gerry is the son that Frank never had. Frank
allows Gerry to basically set his own hours at the restaurant
and take as many breaks as he wants too. |
|
|
Mr Evil Thug Guy:
Mr Evil Thug Guy. As you can plainly see, is a rather menacing
looking individual. Not only is he nasty looking, but he has
also devoted his entire life to crime. Let's just say that he is
a real meanie pants.
Nobody really knows why he turned out the way he did. Maybe his
mother just did not hug him enough. Regardless as to what the
cause of his nasty disposition may be, we know one thing for
sure, and that is that he will be quite the evil nemesis for
super Crack Ho and the other superheroes featured in this comic
strip. |
|
|
Captain Tranny:
Captain tranny is a transvestite superhero. His super powers
include flying and sprinkling fairy dust. The fairy wings are
basically for the flying part and he also does some pretty
magical things with fairy dust. Oh, and he can even kick like a
Rockette too.
Captain Tranny teamed up with Super Crack ho and Crystal Meth
Man to form a team of superheroes called
the Dysfunctionals. All
we have to say is that you bad guys better watch out! He's a
hell of a lot tougher than he looks. |
|
|
Doctor Butterbean:
Doctor Butterbean is the one doctor that all of the Punksters
characters will go to see on a doctor's visit. He treats all
sorts of maladies; many of which may actually be on the
embarrassing side. But have no fear, Doctor Butterbean will keep
it all confidential because he is a truly compassionate and
understanding health care professional.
Often playing the straight man in two character strips, he is
not usually the one that delivers the punchline. However, he is
crucial to the scenario, just the same. His first appearance was
in comic strip number 19. |
|
|
The Frequent Flyer:
The Frequent Flyer is another superhero type in Punksterville.
He is part of that wonderful team of superheroes called
the
Dysfunctionals. He is a bit of a deadbeat dad though. He has
fathered a lot of children and doesn't hold down a steady job.
The Frequent Flyer will often do all he can to avoid
responsibility, which is why he wears his trusty jet pack. With
his jet pack, he can take flight very quickly whenever he feels
someone is trying to force responsibilities upon him. Job
applications are his kryptonite. Just whip one out and he's as
good as gone. His first appearance was in
comic strip number 76. |
|
|
Moronye Jest:
Moronye Jest is a rap "artist" who kind of thinks a little more
highly of himself than he probably should. But who are we to
burst his bubble or interfere with his delusions of grandeur?
Sometimes, when you have a delusion, you should just run with
it. What the hell, you only live once.
The guys in the Punkster band don't mind knocking him down a peg
or two every now and then though. And that's when the fun
usually starts. Besides, it helps him to keep it real. His first
appearance was in comic strip
number 81. |
|
|
Detective Harry Ho:
Detective Ho is the one guy from the police force that often
works with the team of superheroes known as the Dysfunctionals
to solve all of the big criminal cases that take place. He
mostly works with Super Crack Ho. This is one team of hos that
the local criminals will have a hard time getting over on.
He works on any type of case, it doesn't matter. murder, mayhem
or anything else that happens in the city. He has a very serious
nature and is not really known to joke. In fact, he has never
been known to even smile. His first appearance was in
comic strip number 83. |
|
|
The Fartin' Spartan:
The Fartin' Spartan is another member of the superhero team
called the Dysfunctionals. His super powers include a quick fart
to stun his enemy and he then follows it up with a toilet
plunger to the face. He's a little on the old side though. He
may not be as quick as he used to be but he can sure rip a good
one when necessary.
His addition to the team came in the Punksters.net
Comic Strip
number 100 and was a nice way to cap off the first one hundred
comic strips. |
|
|
Amanda Davies:
Amanda Davies is one of those whack jobs that like to
approach people on the streets and harass them for doing things
that offend her. The worst part of that is the fact that pretty
much everything offends her.
Her usual targets are the characters of the comic strip. She
will often approach them and unload her vile bile onto them in
the form of an obnoxious hysterical rant of some sort. Amanda's
character was first introduced in the Punksters,net
comic strip
number 96. |
|
|
The Piddler:
The piddler is not your average villain. Most villains
are motivated by money, in that they rob people, or motivated by
anger. This guy just likes to pee on people from rooftops. Of
course we at least have our teamof heroes called the
Dysfunctionals as well as their law enforcement ally detective
Harry Ho to kind of keep him in check. Or at least they try to
anyway.
The piddler was first referred to in
comic strip number 110 and
made his first appearance in comic
strip number 111. |
|
|
Al the Death Metal Guy:
Al the Death Metal Guy is a musician friend of Boom's
that plays guitar in, you guessed it, a death metal band.
however, he is not what some would imagine him to be. He is
really a laid back and mellow sort of guy when he is off stage.
It just goes to show that you shouldn't really generalize about
people, based upon the type of music they like or play.
Al made his first appearance in
comic strip number 98. That's actually the strip where he
tells his long-time good friend, Boom, that he has started
playing in a death metal band. |
|
|
Sabrina the Fortune
Teller/Medium:
Sabrina the Fortune Teller/Medium is the one person
everybody in the comic strip series goes to when they want to
know what the future may hold for them. With her handy crystal
ball in front of her, she is ready to foretell their future. She
also, as an additional service, will perform a seance when
necessary. Perhaps, she will even perform a seance when it is
not necessary. She really just does it for the money.
Sabrina made her first appearance in
comic strip number 106,
foretelling Bang's future. |
|
|
B.L. Zeebub/the Devil:
B.L. Zeebub is the assumed identity of none other than
the Devil himself. He often goes around trying to get people to
sign contracts that involve them selling their soul. Some are
obviously reluctant to do so for various reasons. He is usually
seen with a contract in one hand and a brief case in the other.
B.L. Zeebub actually made his first appearance in the comic
strip series as the Devil in comic
strip number 74 and made his first appearance as B.L. Zeebub
in comic strip number 75. He
will make an occasional appearance from time to time. |
|
|
Mr Ghost Dude
Mr Ghost Dude is the guy that haunts Bang's apartment.
He is sort of the ghostly equivalent of a really bad roommate.
But those sort of things happen when an apartment building is
built upon an ancient Indian burial ground. I mean, isn't that
the making for most horror movies that involve ghosts?
Bang tries a number of things to try to get rid of him but with
no success. Let's face it, he ain't going away any time soon.
And maybe it's just as well since it gives us the opportunity to
throw in some ghost humor. He made his first appearance
comic strip number 113. |
|
|
Colonel Cornball:
Colonel Cornball is a presidential candidate with a minimal
quantity charismatic qualities. Okay, he doesn't have a
charismatic bone in his body but he doesn't feel that should
interfere with his ability or likelihood of getting elected.
Although he has what should be obviously noticeable leanings
towards totalitarianism, the gullible masses are somehow
oblivious to it. There is an old saying that says that if you
truly want to test a man's character, give him power. No point
in testing this guy, he doesn't have any character. He first
appeared in comic strip number 164. |
|
|
Aaron Walks With Wheels:
Aaron Walks with Wheels is the ultimate example of diversity. He
comes in handy at the H.C. Harvey Advertising Agency. Aaron
meets a few quotas, as a matter of fact. He is handicapped, a
Native American and he's Jewish. What are the odds of having one
person meet all of those qualities? In this comic strip, the
odds are probably pretty damn good.
Aaron's favorite meal is a buffalo burger on a bagel. He was
circumsised with a tomahawk. He first
appeared in comic strip number 174. |
