<h1>Viewer's & Stalker's Guide to Swatoons Regulars</h1>
You could figure this all out for yourself if you've read the logs, or if the comic went on as long as, say, <i>Ranma 1/2</i>. But this will make you feel like you've met these people. Wash your hands afterwards. (You can compare the toons to <a href="http://www.hippiecommune.com/shil/show_spinnoff.phtml">their photos here</a>.)

<b>Spinn</b> (Greg) is our genial host, the swoony goth in long black coat, Maestro dei Ruffiani, creator of <a href="http://www.spinnwebe.com">SpinnWebe</a>.
<p><b>Tieboy</b> (Chris), underemployed midget, is chief of staff over at <a href="http://www.notmydesk.com">Not My Desk</a>. The caricatures of Spinn and Tie are based on their own scrawled sketches.
<p><b>Leth</b> is known for stress-testing software, newbies, and floors.
<p><b>Raven</b> (Heather) is feared not only because she's a sysop, but because she's the editor of <a href="http://www.spinnoff.com/swhc/">the logs</a>.
<p><b>Zompist</b>-- well, figure it out. I draw myself as a bookish geek so you don't have to.

<b>Craig</b> is a lawyer, a Texan, and a former DFC editor, so you just know he's a Sith Lord.
<p>When he isn't viciously funny in #sw, <b>Agent Orange</b> (Agto) writes <a href="http://www.suspect-device.com">a viciously funny comic</a> about Louisiana politics.
<p><b>SeanQ</b> is a coin collector and works for Parfums de Coeur. The stinkles were his own idea.
<p><b>Samwise</b> is our resident rustic. He's slaughtered his own hogs, but he glommed onto computers when they were introduced into Nebraska, last year.
<p><b>CrazyClimber</b> (Bob) is an editor and knows more about music and ham than you'd ever guess. He's a bit older than me, and thus thankfully gets most of the Senile Old Guy jokes.

<p><b>Lore</b> is <a href="lore.html">much bigger</a> than he looks here (again, based on his own cartoons). He is very much the same Lore who has achieved interplanetary reknown as editor of <a href="http://www.brunching.com">the Brunching Shuttlecocks</a>.
<p><b>Stan Xhiao</b> lives behind a firewall or something, and we miss him.
He's represented by his avatar, the proprietor of
<a href="http://www.geocities.com/mrlukeplease">Mr. Luke's Restaurant</a> ("Food to order out or sit in!").
<p><b>AliasN</b> is awfully functional considering her... well... she <i>does</i> cope well, don't you think? She lives in one of our Canadian states somewhere.
<p><b>Freyja</b> exchanged Quebec for Florida and got married in a motel, but she makes up for this by being able to talk sexy in French.
<p><b>Kyol</b> is just a way friendly, geeky guy with an interest
in video games, show tunes, and arthropods.

<p>At a #sw get-together <b>Mr. ?</b> was voted Least Evil. This is a relative term, so if he comes over, keep the women, flatware, and livestock locked up.
<p><b>mdxi</b> (Shawn) is the channel geek, which is like saying he's the <i>700 Club</i>'s Holy Roller. <a href="http://mdxi.collapsar.net">His net presence</a> features anime reviews and helpful hints on foul language for foreigners.
<p><b>Wabewalkr</b> (Rob) wishes I wouldn't plug <a href="http://www.the-wabe.com">his Bear Test</a>; very well, read the navigator's logs for the Smogmobile 2000 instead. He's written a text adventure game that requires you to know what pH is.
<p><b>Sol-d</b> is an art student, and likes to come across somewhere between fragile and perverse. Her own cartoons of herself would make every hair on your body stand on end.
<p>You think that's a lot of people to keep track of for a handful of comics? There's at least twenty more that appear in the logs.
<b>J. Random</b> stands for them all. No one knows what they look like, anyway.
