Welcome to City Folk!

This comic follows Mel and Foster as they migrate from the wilderness of British Columbia, Canada to the big city. This site only covers Chapter 6 and after., so why don’t you start at the beginning?


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.

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.

LINUS HAYES

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 MOORE

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.

STOP! Spoilers Ahead!
