Why don't we start with say, the Stripy Six. The name is referring to the fact that there are six main characters. It does not currently carry any importance in the comic.
Stripy
This image was originally used in Stripy Six #143, in the last panel.
Stripy Six is named after the character Stripy. He is a white cat. He is one of the main characters, and one of the most often used. One interesting thing that happens to him is that anvils from the ceiling fell on him. He also likes to make comics. But they are terrible. He was also attracted to Milky. For this reason, he formerly disliked Kit. He lives with his owner and Fuzzball. I named him "Stripy" after the term "comic strip", but with a "y" at the end. I based him of the Persian breed of cat. He is of the white variety. He doesn't have a lot of fur, though. He can also hear when other animals and people talk to him. He decided to temporarily leave the strip from comics #126-#138. He has since returned. His owner is Paul.
Fuzzball

Fuzzball is a yellow dog. He is the other most used character in Stripy Six. He was often the artist's vehicle for expressing his frustration at himself during the early days of Stripy Six. He is able to use his tail as a helicopter propeller. He is a bit more knowledgable than Stripy is on certain things.
Milky
Milky is an orange cat. Her first appearance was in Stripy Six #52. She can be very crabby, and can be found in a bad mood on some occasions. She has to repeatedly explain to Stripy that she is not attracted to him, and this frustrates her. She has been attracted to Kit since he was introduced in comic #90.
Flower
Flower is a brown dog. She is very knowledgeable of the Bible. She first appears in Stripy Six #2, but does not appear until comic #19 and again disappears after #21 until comic #70. She makes a reasonable amount of appearances after that. She is opposed to Fuzzball's criticism of the comic.
Flower's owner
She doesn't have a name yet, but we know that she likes keychains and chocolate and etc.
Kit
Kit is a grey cat. He is a very pleasant character, who is attracted to Milky. According to comic #90 he is very good at acrobatics, but the most recent appearance of this ability is in comic #120. He might be a bit eccentric. He is owned by Red Shirt Guy's sister.
Patch
No, he isn't invisible. Nice one.
Patch is a pale yellow dog who is distinguished by a brown "patch" over his right eye. His owner is Joe and Joe's spouse. He makes puns all the time, and is "sort of interested" in Flower. His first appearance is in comic #210. Know something crazy? Before his first physical appearance, he appeared in a thought in comic #210. He later appeared in the last panel of that comic!
Now that we are done with the Stripy Six, let's start on the owners.
Humans in the comic are mostly owners, but I might add some other characters. I haven't given most of them names, by the way.
Paul
Paul is the owner of Stripy and Fuzzball. He is a Christian (This is a Christian webcomic. What'd you expect?) .
His job involves the use of a computer, but his job title is never explained. His name was given in comic #166.
The artist looked at pet comics he liked, and noticed that all the owners happened to have light skin. The author thought he'd put an owner with dark skin into his comic strip. His first appearance was in comic #2.
Kyle

Kyle is Paul's friend. He is the owner of Milky. He first appeared in comic #52. He is depicted as liking sports and watching them. You may have noticed his afro. His name was revealed in comic #214. |
Mini-bios
Joe
Joe is the owner of Patch. He is blond. He is part of the local church. He is apparently the only part of the human cast to be married at this point in time. He met Paul when he was speaking at church.
