This is the cast of the
Classic 1988-1999 "comedic" era of
Chrusher Comix. This comic started in 1988 (where most of the characters
were high school teenagers), and went on to 1999 (when most of the characters
were all well into their twenties). The new
2007 webcomic saga will
technically be in the same universe (many of the pre-existing characters
grown into adulthood, and storylines will stand upon, though not depend
on, this previous saga), but take a drastically different approach to the story.
It will be
more of a serious drama than a goofy and violent comedy that this prior
title had mostly always been. Presented in order-of-appearance and with
periodic additions. Links to each character's 1st appearance or most
notable issues. Each link opens in a new page. Use wisely. Enjoy.
Christopher Crusher [AKA The Chrusher]:
Chris is a freedom and justice loving lad and the main character of
these comics. He believes in the principles of good and evil/right and wrong and has many enemies that do not agree
with his ideals. Skilled in several martial arts, and bujutsu. Some say that he is a
caricature of the author, but he scoffs at that because the
author does not have telekinetic powers as does Chrusher.
Founded "The Conquerors" to combat evil. 1st appearance: ChrusherComix Episode
#1
(#1988).
Mike Butski: Mike
is a bit of a misfit. Accused of being a welfare case (though he
claims to just dress like a poor slob) he doubles as part-time
friend, part-time enemy to Chrusher. Small, but tough and
street-wise. Caught stealing from a
Salvation Army Box, he was recruited to lead a group called
"Welforce," a group of misfits who fight for... well, we we're not
quite sure. The right to welfare and food stamps? We have no idea,
really. 1st appearance: The Adventures of Misfit Bisquit (1987
- Confiscated by Public School guidance counselors).
1st Surviving appearance: Chrusher Episode #1
(1988).
Ronald
Foule: Ronnie is another misfit. Part nerd, part geek, it is
believed that he comes from a rich family, though every one of his
friends are welfare cases. Ron is always trying to be cool; from
buying "in-style" clothing that's 8-years too late, to studying
Kung-Fu to emulate his favorite martial arts movie stars - but he
just makes a fool out of himself. Ron's sexual ambiguity confuses
many, as he has dated and lusts after both sexes. Member of
Welforce. 1st Surviving appearance: ChrusherComix Episode
#1
(1988).
The
Obliterator: His real
name unknown, the Obliterator is a massive human being with
unbelievable physical strength and surreal skeletal structure.
Cousin of Ron, who hired him to defeat Chrusher. Rumor has it that
he was genetically altered, though Obliterator has insisted that his
freakish strength came from obsessive-compulsive exercise, power
lifting, nutrition, and a unique cocktail of Miracle-Grow, HGH, and steroids. Has an obsession with
destroying Chrusher and any of his allies. 1st appearance: ChrusherComix Episode
#3
(1988). Origin:
#23
(The Wrath of the Rake, 1989).
The
Conquerors: Chrusher founded
this group to fight for justice and friendship in high
school. It is also a generic
name for most of Chrusher's friends and allies. Among them are his brother
Matt Musher, and friends RaYzor, Jeff Egelstone, Jamin Powerhouse,
Dave Scruaton, Crasher Chasse, Ricktor, and more. There are
honorary, part-time members, and a few have even spent time on both
Welforce and the Conquerors. A Founding member, Aaron Terminator,
died in battle. Some have even left the group out of contempt for Chrusher or other
members. 1st appearance: ChrusherComix Episode #3
(1988). 2nd Era Members: Episode #36
(1995).
Scott
"The Cow" Gagnon: Scott
is a strange lad who refers to himself as "The Overlord." Claims
that his "power is too much," and often refers the drainage of all
other "power sources" within his immediate vicinity. He also speaks
often of greased rakes, telephone poles, fences, forks, pencils,
crayons, chainsaws, lawn mowers, rusty pitchforks, bike chains and
ice-picks up people's hind sides. Founder of "The Rake Hectors" and
"The Saucy Chain of Doom." Once a foe of Chrusher, now an
ally. 1st appearance: ChrusherComix Episode #4
(1988).
The Grim
Raker: Once known as a
quiet and mysterious high scholar and amateur boxer named Justin
Plankton, Justin took to Cow's philosophy of the rake and became
"The Strangler." Justin was killed by a katana-wielding high scholar
pretending to be a Ninja. But after toxic waste was poured on his
grave, his seemingly immortal corpse emerged with acidic skin and
the ability to shoot energy blasts from his fists. Henceforth
re-named; The Grim Raker. 1st appearance as Justin Strangler: ChrusherComix Episode
#11
(1988). As Grim Raker: Episode
#13 (1989).
Keith
"Slasher": Keith was
once a regular, every day high school teenager. However, when Cow
and The Grim Raker took over his Science class and slashed his butt
with a muto-powered rake, his face became permanently deformed and
he grew four razor-sharp blades from each knuckle. Gets very angry
when one points out the obvious - that he looks like a cross
between Cobra Commander and Wolverine. Keith has a very
dark outlook on life, and has been rumored to have studied mystic
arts. Often goes on racist rants, which in turn has made some people
call him "KKKeith." Has pure hatred for those who have crossed
him. A sadistic and malicious prankster extraordinaire. Though an old friend of Chrusher, he's considered to be
a loose cannon. 1st appearance & origin: ChrusherComix Episode
#11
(1988).
RaYzor
"The Hitman" Cadildo: RaYzor was a playground
pro-wrestling champion who was recruited by Welforce. Ray
double-crossed Welforce, using them to defeat one of Chrusher's
Conquerors, and then took his place on the roster. Ray, though being Chrusher's best
friend, sometimes has delusions of grandeur to take over the world.
'Zor is adept at brawling and wrestling submission moves, but
not trained in any formal fighting disciplines. Those he can't
defeat in a straight-up fight, he'll often pull a chainsaw on
(for intimidation purposes, as he has never actually maimed
anybody with one).
Obsessed with late-80s hard rock, late-80s-lovin' rocker women, computers, Star Wars,
WWE, bloody steak, beer, cigs, and violence. Has had his own
spin-of comic mini-series. 1st appearance: ChrusherComix Episode
#14
(Welforce #1, 1989). Cameo as "G** Ray": Episode
#13. (S)Hitman Comics

Welforce:
Welforce was founded by Mike Butski after Butski was caught stealing
from and living in Salvation Army boxes. The Salvation Army enlisted
him to defend the boxes from theft in exchange for items and
shelter. It has seen many agents and leaders come and go - but
Butski, Foule, and mad-genius leader, Ian, have long been the main trio of members.
Dan Boyce and his stooge buds Cory & Shark, are believed to be
freelance members.. 1st appearance: ChrusherComix Episode
#14
(Welforce #1, 1989). 2nd Era Members: Episode #36
(1995).
Ian "The
Brain" Babbler: Ian was
a quiet and nerdy high-scholar who skipped two grades in school due
to his advanced knowledge in mathematics and sophisticated
scientific theories. After being recruited by founding member Mike
Butski, Ian rose to prominence within the ranks of Welforce. Due to
the fact that he was the only competent member of the group, he
became their leader. His brain was rumored to be altered via nuclear
reactors. Has a deep-rooted belief in Darwinism, and believes
that his skull houses the highest evolved human brain in the
history of mankind. His brother, "Babs" is a trusted
friend of Chrusher, a fact that Ian despises. 1st appearance:
ChrusherComix Episode #20
((S)Hitman #1, 1989).
John/Jo-Jo
Bunns: John/Jo-Jo is a young man with a dual personality
disorder. His
good persona, known as John, is a good friend of Chrusher and a
Conqueror. However, for reasons unknown, he occasionally turns into
an evil bully and viciously attacks even his closest friends and
relatives. When this occurs, his butt grows several times larger
than normal and he is known as Jo-Jo. Dreaded when he turns, because
he cannot be reasoned with, and will even physically attack a
friend. Has a twin brother, Jim, who
is also a Conqueror, but does not have this dual personality, and is otherwise completely normal. 1st appearance as John [w/Jim]:
ChrusherComix Episode
#23
(1989-90). 1st as Jo-Jo: Episode #37
(1996).
Matsuo:
A Japanese immigrant who came to America to find his relatives,
deceased sensei's surviving protégés,
and select American masters to complete his training in bujutsu. Meeting
the Chrusher while fighting a mutual enemy, Matsuo took Chrusher under
his wing to teach him purer bujutsu after Chrusher's American
martial arts teacher was murdered via expert fashion; presumably
by a disciple of kan-aku na ninjutsu, and possibly darker,
more sinister disciplines. 1st appearance: ChrusherComix Episode
#27
(Last DaYz of the Glare #2, 1990-91).
King
Babah: A villain that entered the Chrusher Universe under
mysterious circumstances, Babah is a foe of unimaginable power.
Believed to be the boss of a criminal underground, and is known to
possess powers that nobody understands. He has a deep knowledge of
the Conquerors, but then disappeared after a confrontation with
Chrusher. Wears energized armor and wields an ancient sword
powered by a mystic stone. Masked, nobody knows his true identity,
but his knowledge of the Conqueror/Welforce conflict is
suspicious, since nobody else even knows who they are. 1st cameo appearance:
ChrusherComix Episode #28
(Last DaYz of the Glare #3, 1990-91). Full-power:
#33.
Steven
"Barbarian" Howeird:
Steven was once a normal, cross-eyed lad who dreamed of being a bodybuilder-turned-pro-wrestler. But his dreams became a nightmare
when a friend lodged a 2x4 with a nail in his skull while playing in
a barn. Steve then started believing that he was the hybrid renegade
Pirate Viking Warrior with a mixed ethnic heritage that includes
Norwegian, Hispanic, Scottish, and Middle-Eastern decent. Speaks
incoherent, nonsensical mixed historic references and odd mixed
religious and ethnic ideas. Has his
own language, a mix of countless languages and possibly invented
words that nobody else understands. 1st appearance as Barbarian:
ChrusherComix Episode #30
(1990-91). As Hulk Howeird: Episode
#23
(1989-90).
Martin
Scoville & The Headstrong Posse: Chrusher met Marty in a
school where he shared classes in art and criminal justice. What
surprised them both, is that Marty and his group of friends, The
Headstrong Posse, were a nearby school's equivalent to Chrusher &
his Conquerors. Their teacher, Dr. Davies,
put Chrush and Marty through a test of righteousness by brainwashing both
into believing they were enemies. When they passed, Davies informed
them of a great foe that bested him in his crime-fighting days, and
whom they need to join forces against to ever hope of defeating.
This enemy is yet unknown. 1st appearance: ChrusherComix Episode
#34
(1991-92). 1st Dr. Davies: Episode #36
(1995).
The
Unnamed Assassin: A masked individual dressed in completely
black matte material who has hunted, assaulted, raped and/or murdered several
peripheral characters. Secretive and incredibly
lethal, it is believed to be at least a disciple of kan-aku na
ninjutsu, a form of martial arts that is used almost exclusively
for evil. Suspected of using dark mystic arts and black magic, and
possibly a dorukusai; without any moral code other than
self-empowerment no matter the cost. Worships of the act of
death. However, this ninja-like assassin has yet to truly make
his presence felt upon any main character in the Chrusher
Universe. Did I say... yet. This character essentially is
a harbinger to the end of the "Classic Crusher" comics. 1st appearance:
ChrusherComix Episode #34
(1991-92). Further attacks: Preludes in Episodes #36
& #37.
The end begins:
End
Cycle.
Wesley
James TrOgre:The Wild Weasel Wesley, AKA TrOgre
or TrOllger (Ogre for
short), is a small, deformed man who has been identified as the wife
of "The Mare" and the father of Chrusher and Musher. Once classified
to be a midget troll with Ogarian blood, Wes is
dim-witted, humorless, violent, and quick-to-anger. He is somewhat
harmless but his existence is an eclectic mixture of incompetent
embarrassment while being an endless source of humor. 1st appearance:
ChrusherComix Episode #35
(The Ogre Soundtrack's Read-A-Long Storybook, 1993-94). 1st Mare:
#36.
Danny
Boyce & His Stooges: Dan
Boyce is an arrogant mercenary. Friend and enemy of all, it is
believed that he learned the ways of the dual-personality from Jo-Jo
Bunns, who traumatized him via constant friendship/bullying in his
youth. His mildly retarded friends, Corey Moronie and M. Blubbs
Shark, who have an unknown vendetta against Chrusher and his brother
Musher leading back to their Chrusher Coliseum backyard football
days, were unwittingly hired by Welforce's Ian Babbler. Thurman Kyle
is a third, lesser-known stooge. Dan's
1st appearance: ChrusherComix Episode #35 1st
regular appearance of Stooges: #36.
1st cameo of all:
#23.
Thomas &
Annette Welphy: The perpetually angry parents of
Adam "A.C." Welphy (one of Chrusher & Musher's friends), Tom and Ann
often go on hateful rampages with zero provocation or reason. Thomas is a world-renowned
professor of fecal anthropology at the local University and is coprophagous, while Ann is owner of countless award-winning pug dogs
and a community leader in teaching aerobic
exercise and sexuality amongst the elderly and the obese. Ann's
anger and hatred towards everybody - including people she hardly
knows - is legendary. 1st appearance: ChrusherComix
Episode #41
(1996-97).
The
Lunaticials: The Lunaticials are, by first appearances, a
group of mentally and physically disabled young men and women.
However, they are a special group, as they all have extraordinary
and supernatural talents and powers that go far beyond normal
humans. There are good and evil Lunaticials, and an eternal struggle
exists between them. In fact, they essentially end the first two
eras, AKA the comedic "Classic Crusher Comics" saga. 1st appearance:
ChrusherComix Episode #43
(1997-98).

"Crusher Comics" began in 1988 as a way to pass the time amusing
myself and my friends as a 14-year-old during my high school
study halls. As a fan on animation, comic books, and comic
strips - as well as being an aspiring cartoonist since I was as
young as I could remember - it was a way to mix my talent with
making friends... and a few enemies. Shortly thereafter, it
started to gain a small measure of fame and starred more and
more gross caricatures of many classmates, friends, and family
members. It eventually got me in the school newspaper and I won
a handful of awards for my cartoons (three 1st places and a 2nd
in three years of school newspaper cartooning). But I didn't
stop drawing them after high school, as I consider them to be
"my giant sketchbook with a storyline." So, on this site, I am
re-publishing the entire epic 18-year "sketchbook saga" from day
one, and debuting brand-new webcomic later in 2006. By the way,
it grieves me when people just look at a handful of pages and
leave. I have nearly one thousand pages up, countless
storylines, multiple rivers of adventure, comedy, drama, action,
even eroticism (forthcoming) - and much more to come. Give it a freakin' chance!
If you did, you'd see that it is one of the largest and most
original webcomics in the world, a comic book serial with
hundreds of free pages to read and read and read. This isn't
your commonplace D&D/Furry/Gamer/Manga-wanna-be carbon copy. This is truly a
one-of-a-kind webcomic. Give it a chance and please rate me on
webcomic websites accordingly. Thanks!
