(128) Who is this Murf? 1/6

By the Way, Who Are All These Characters in your comic Strip?

I did not start the Murphy's Manor series with introductions of characters for a simple reason, I didn't have any characters.

When I drew those first 6 strips as a demo, I had exactly two characters in the strip: Murf and Jeff. And that was it. I knew I was going to add a supporting cast over time, but I hadn't yet thought out any others. 

By strip # 128, two and a half years into the run, at least  one editor wanted to pick up the strip but start with cartoons that introduced the characters. Hence the next series of six strips.
