For a more detailed look on each character, please visit the cast page!
 |
Tipper Namir: The star of our comic. Entering her freshman year in college. She dated Cedric for a while. She is now very single and usually gets stuck with her friend Gabby. As the youngest member of the main cast, she tends to get a lot of advice from everybody else, whether she wants it or not. |
 |
Snickers Namir: Tipper's elder sister and unofficial guardian. Usually sensible and responsible. Used to go to college but due to slipping grades and a lost of scholarship had to quit. Currently works at her husband's flower shop. Their parents divorced a few years ago. Their mother has died. So Snickers and Twix generally stand in for Tipper's parents when need be. |
 |
Twix Dorpe-Namir: Tipper's brother-in-law. Snickers' better half. Eccentric. Together with Snickers, they comprise the "Happily Married" portion of the cast. He's pretty much the only positive male role model that Tipper has. |
 |
Joy Satu: Snickers' friend. She's a very quiet, nice person. She was BoB's girlfriend until he abandoned her to see the world. Joy turns white in the winter; she had been depressed about this and wouldn't go outside during the holidays. After BoB broke up with her, she dyed her fur white. She was going out with Dr. Ferdinand Fitzgerald until his mother told him to break up with her. She lost her job (she was working at his practice), her apartment (which he was paying for), and her interest in becoming a nurse (which he was also paying for). She has moved in with Snickers and Twix. |
 |
Blue Deiter: Resident hooligan. Friend of Snickers'. She likes picking up guys and puts more effort into that than anything else. She recently graduated college and works at a bar near campus. |
 |
BoB Dorpe: Twix's cousin. Joy's ex-boyfriend until he left her to go tour the world. He's a slug. He's stupider than two brick walls. He can make computers burst into flames by the force of his sheer incompetence. He was engaged to Mallory but left her at the altar when he realized what he was getting in to. |
 |
Cedric Van Helgen: An unstable artist. The creator of Tipporomatic with his friends Murray and Bendly. Tipper's ex-suitor and Falco's current boyfriend. Gabby and Falco's roommate. |
 |
Mallory Duck: Blue's cousin. Mallory is a very bitter person. She doesn't really like the rest of the cast. The rest of the cast doesn't like her much either. She was engaged to BoB, but he left her at the altar - before she could do the same to him. Joy doesn't like Mallory or BoB any more. Also known as "Ducky". |
 |
Gabby Ramos: Was Tipper's only friend in High School and Cedric's unofficial artistic rival. She knew Falco online before she met her in real life. Had an unrequited crush on Tipper. Her family can be a bit unstable at times. |
Now that you know a little about each character,
why don't you go
start with the first comic? If you don't want to read through the entire
archives you can read through this quick summary of what's been going on
over the last four years in the world of ND, but I should warn you, it
will contain spoilers for those of you who have yet to read through the
archives!
Ready..? Here we go!
Eight thousand years ago, there was a king named Gladius. He had two wives. One was made out of fire. The other one was a duck. Everybody in the kingdom lived in peace and harmony. There was a very large sword named the SurePowerBlade which was smote through the middle of the largest active volcano in....
No wait, that's not how it went...
Year One
Year one began with the introduction of Devlin,
Tipper's now ex-boyfriend. They got arrested for speeding and disturbing
the peace, but they had a good time. From there Snickers and Blue
took a figure drawing class at a community college, where Snickers was
shaken up by the nakedness of it all. Blue ended up taking another
class that had better men in it. After that Tipper tried to ditch
school and failed, while Snickers and Joy got caught playing hooky.
Spring Break caused conflict between Snickers and Blue (they agreed to
disagree when they noticed Joy and Tipper where missing and made up afterwards).
Once classes resumed, Joy met up with Ducky (AKA Mallory) and BoB in computer
class. Fortunately for her it was all a bad dream and life moved
on. After that Tipper endorsed cat food and Blue tried to go to work, but
the Halloween story that year cut into the middle of things.
Year Two
Year two started off with Joy losing her pink fur
as well as her self-esteem. Joy turned to the internet and found
a nice person to converse with on the Kick Ass Chat (K.A.C.) help room.
Behind the scenes the two became more than friends while the other girls
lived their lives. Blue got stuck up a tree (only to be saved by
a handsome firedog), Tipper and Devlin had a fight and we get a glimpse
into the girls' childhood. From there Tipper anguished over her bra
size only to realize Devlin didn't really notice her chest and BoB set
Snickers up with his cousin Twix Dorpe. The two hit it off quite
well. From there Tipper cleans her room while Blue and Joy get stranded
by Blue's junk car (which of course ends with Blue getting carried off
by a man). From there the girls went to Panda's Pizza, a restaurant
with games and prizes. One of those prizes turned out to be BoB and the
girls had to win him back. On the way home, Joy talks more about
the fellow she met over K.A.C, who ended up standing her up when they tried
to meet in real life and eventually dumped her. As time passes the
other lightly speak of marriage while Joy and BoB become a couple.
A while later Snickers and Twix go on a romantically spontaneous adventure,
while Blue takes Ducky onto the Jenny Jub show where she was sent to boot
camp and given a make-over. Ducky now becomes Mallory and she hasn't been
the same since. Halloween remains relatively normal (as much as a slug
and a hedgehog switching bodies for a day can be) and Christmas rolls in,
where Tipper finds out Devlin is cheating on her and breaks up not only
their relationship, but his face as well.
Year Three
Year three starts off with Twix admitting he's more
than a few years older than Snickers, but everyone except Tipper already
knew that. From there Twix and BoB prepared for Valentine's day,
as well as a fishing trip just for the boys. They didn't catch anything
and Joy got mad at BoB because they took off the same day as their dancing
lesson. After that, Tipper got caught sneaking in past her curfew
and was given the choice between five months of being grounded or volunteering
at a YMCA helping with ballet. Tipper chooses the latter but realizes she's
not very good at this whole helping thing. It is here she meets Taimoor,
a boy rather small for his age, but very much in love. Taimoor is
taking the class to show this girl that he's good enough for her and Tipper
vows to help him. Even though she choose to take being grounded over
volunteering any more, Tipper started working on a plan for Taimoor to
win his love, only to realize she was falling for him (or at least, falling
for the image Tipper had of him). When her punishment was up, Taimoor had
a rather large growth spurt and suddenly didn't need Tipper's help anymore.
Tipper was angry and confused by her feelings. On some rather motherly
advice from Blue, Tipper went to tell Taimoor her feelings, only to see
that he was with another woman. From there, Snickers and Twix went
away on a trip, where Twix proposed to her, much to everyone's surprise.
There wasn't too much time for celebrating, since Tipper was off helping
a friend by taking her work shift over at Ya-Ta comics, where a strange
young man grabbed Tipper by the face! It was an experience she wanted
to forget. It turns out that young man was Cedric, a strange artist
who had not only fallen for Tipper, but was a good friend of Taimoor's
as well. But Tipper had other complicated matters on her mind, her mother
was planning a Divorce anniversary party and almost all the single men
in town were invited! Snickers and Twix got drunk over the power
of suggestion (and a bottle or two of apple cider) and ended up getting
married at a drive-thru chapel. The two don't really mind too much
and started to enjoy the joys of marriage, like preparing Thanksgiving
dinner for their family and friends, or getting a Christmas tree (after
Snickers and Tipper failed with their attempt). Blue however had
her own problems as she remembered her past and how she ran away from home
to live with (who she believes to be) her sister on Christmas Eve several
years ago.
Year Four
Year four starts off with College applications and
BoB breaking up with Joy to see the world. Joy becomes distraught
and cuts her hair and dyes her pink fur white as a way of letting the world
know she's depressed. At school Joy received far too much sympathy
and date offers than she ever wanted, but Spring Break jumps in to take
her mind off of things, if only anyone wanted to do anything fun.
Tipper and Joy end up trying to build a pool in Tipper's back yard and
got stuck in cement. Meanwhile, Blue finally goes back to work!
As school starts up again, Cedric takes Taimoor to see his comic book studio
and Cedric finds out that Taimoor knows Tipper. Cedric becomes horribly
jealous of Twix (whom he believes to be Tipper's boyfriend!). Fortunately
school comes to a close with the graduation of Snickers and Joy from High
School! After classes end Taimoor starts to avoid Tipper, since he is conflicted
with Cedric's feelings to Tipper and his own feelings for her. Fortunately
a chance meeting with Twix helps to set his mind right... kind of.
He got so far as to at least show Tipper how he feels with a very passionate
kiss, but couldn't bring up the nerve to speak afterwards. This was
more than enough for Tipper as she realized her own love for him.
From there Joy dives herself into Summer college classes as well as helping
Mallory fix her computer and the cast goes to an anime convention!
From there, things got complicated.
Snickers, Blue and Joy got ready for college, with Joy and Blue becoming dorm-mates. Joy accidentally burns off the last of her long hair and Snickers shows Tipper around campus while Twix picks up BoB from the airport and BoB wants to go see his ex! Things go from ugly to worse as it becomes obvious that BoB and Mallory where behind Joy getting dumped on KAC all those years ago, and when Joy goes to confront Mallory on the matter, she finds out KAC was not just a plot to get Joy together with BoB, but Mallory was secretly planning on taking BoB away from Joy (and failed miserably!). The next day Mallory goes to tell BoB off and ended up kissing him.
The first day of High School came all too quickly
for the friendless Tipper, but a chance meeting with Taimoor and Cedric
produced a friend and ally against Cedric for Tipper; a koala named Gabby.
Halloween came and went as Tipper and Taimoor went to a Halloween party
together. Blue and her adoptive mother spent time discussing the
past after receiving a call from Blue's biological mother, and it confirms
Blue's suspicions that her current "mother" was her sister, which she had
been apprehensive to ask about. With Thanksgiving the girls went their
own seaperate ways to have dinner with their familes (except for Tipper
and Snickers, since they are sisters and all). We are then introduced to
Momma and Murphy Dorpe, two slugs who, like all Dorpes, love their ham.
Once Momma Dorpe found out Snickers and Twix had no sort of wedding photos
to show for themselves, she proclaimed that they must get married, again.
Well, that should bring you up to date, now go read
the comic!
