Welcome to City Folk, the webcomic where Mel the moose and Foster the beaver leave their home in the wild to travel to the big city. Life as city folk isn’t as easy as it would seem.

Foster

Feeling largely ignored in his huge beaver family, Foster joined up with Mel to move to the city. Foster’s irrational, spontaneous nature usually brings him more trouble than he can handle on his own.

Mel

A moose from the far north, Mel was mistakenly left by his herd during one of their yearly migrations. Always a realist, Mel looks to live a normal, quiet life in the city.

Linus

Linus works at a small computer software sales office downtown. Never one to take a risk, Linus has lived a fairly boring life until he met Mel and Foster.

Meredith

Meredith is the girl next door. No, not like that. She’s a retired apartment resident with too much time on her hands and little patience for ruckus. Meredith has been suspicious of Mel and Foster since they moved in.

Fiddlesworth IV

Fiddlesworth the Fourth is one of a long line of Fiddlesworths that have served as pet to Meredith. As a hamster he is naturally timid; so even though he has wanted to escape for years, he cannot because he lacks the courage to do so.

Master Commandcat

Foster’s newly adopted cat. MC is fun and lovable, but more trouble than Foster can handle.

First appearance.

The Artist

The recipient of Mel and Linus’ first big computer sale. The artist never catches a break. We don’t even know his true name.

Hopstar

A childhood friend of Foster who has been in the city for years already. Hopstar runs a ratings website that rates everything and everyone.

The Landlord

One of the first humans Mel and Foster meet in the big city. He manages the apartment complex they currently live in. He is a huge Vancouver Canucks fan.

Kristen

Kristen was Fosters girlfriend for a brief time. She eventually forgave Foster for breaking up with her, but probably won’t want to go out with him again.

Mikey

A co-worker of Mel and Linus at the computer sales offices. Mikey is the guy to see if you want to get into the office’s social scene.

Kenny

One of Mikey’s closest pals. He usually has the plans, but they rarely work out as planned.

Jerry

Jerry is the third pal in the office trio. He rarely looks up to anyone, or even straight across because he is so tall. That’s pretty tall.

Higgins

Higgins is the office party animal. He is the lead guitarist in his air guitar band Slayger. A horrible salesman but a fantastic table overturner.

Andy

Some random guy Higgins met at the park. Andy loves to go where the party is and usually can’t find his way back home after things have died down.
