Beyond the Black Stump (comic strip)

Characters

• Floyd - Floyd is a wannabe rock 'n' roller echidna. He spends a lot of his time, and a lot of his out of tune music, to protest against whatever comes up, whether it be saving the environment, or saving the echidnas.
• Dave - Dave the kangaroo is an original larrikin and party animal. He's always a jump ahead of the rest... but with his feet that's easy.
• Benny - Benny is a kookaburra and a single parent to Spud. He devotes a lot of time to raising Spud properly, but with limited success. Being a solo parent is never an easy job.
• Spud - Spud, a bird, is a smart and quick-witted boy, but his grades do not show this trait. It sometimes seems that he tries to make his father's life a misery.
• Sinker - Sinker is a pelican of many hats...barman, shop-keeper, waiter...he's in any opportunity that pays.
• Boss - Boss the galah is every employee's nightmare– Mr Hyde one minute and Mr Hyde the next!
• Frank - Frank is a clumsy emu, both muddled and befuddled. He can't fly, but's always trying.
• Fish - Fish, the mixed up marsupial, is a platypus who enjoys the odd drink... the odder the better.
• Bruce - Bruce is a lazy koala and the only married male in the strip. Despite this fact, he also seems to be the least committed of the cast.
• Katy - Katy, a koala, is the dynamic and independent career woman; her sole handicap is her husband.
• Clive- A Wombat who thinks a T–shirt is a fashion statement no matter what's printed on it. A fellow who is obviously a few sheep short in the top paddock.
