"Muzzle" minor characters, and changes for it.

Here's some of the minor characters coming up in "Muzzle." Obviously, some names have been changed (i.e. "Binkie").

Vanessa: Patty's girlfriend, and an old friend of Ben's. Wear's two different glasses frames welded together.

Reggi: A friend of Jenna's that met Ben while on vacation from California. Since, she's been the model for one of Ben's comic characters (not this one), and attempts to start an actual band with Ben.

Cameron: Reggi's travel companion, and "bass player."

Jess: Jenna's sister who works at a bank.

Mina: Ben's lawyer and occasional model for some of his art. She also helps him find other models.

Dalaja: Binkie's old college dorm room mate. Unwittingly gets along with Ben and Jenna as if they've been friends since they were kids. Known for her sweet demeanor.

Mike: A blue haired mechanic that has known Ben for a while and manages to put up with Patty's insanity.

Now, for some changes. When I started "Muzzle," it was going to be mostly gaming, music, movies, and random humor that may or may not have expletives involved. It had no nudity, and no violence. If I'm going to tell a story like this, I can't do that. I'm an adult, and my life is one of an adult. My humor is more adult. And the things that have happened, both good and bad, are adult. I draw people, both clothed and nude, as does Alexis. My friends are mostly okay with this (not sure of my family), but even if they weren't, I can make my own decisions. Aside from the fictional stories and Patty's bizarre lack of reality, I'm making this a more adult comic (read "mature" not "porn") to fit what my style as of late is.

It is also important to note that, while the characters are based on real people, the way they are written in the strip does not necessarily reflect on how they would behave in real life. This is first, and foremost, a fictional comic making fun of reality by not being real. If you're confused, I refer you to Pictures of You, How Loathsome, and other comics that are both drama and comedy combined.

Finally, again, the humor won't be as often, but it'll be there. Expect a lot of ranting and discussion about bad drivers and horrible video games and movies, but also expect something more grounded and not in your face hilarious. I'm going for a more dramatic approach on purpose.

Other than that, when it starts, enjoy!

Ben
