Down the 'Nuts  
   
 

Welcome to the Hog’s Nuts Wyne Bar and Grille
Come on in and meet the regulars...

 
   
 

1. Pewfell
The hero of these tales is an extremely useless wizard who never officially graduated from sorcery school.

2. Tina the Warrior Princess
Pure of heart and valiant of spirit, Pewfell's wife was raised to hold her own among the rough and unwashed Nordic warriors of her father’s clan.

3. Gnoma
This small, blue pest squats in Pewfell's basement and does all in her power to make him miserable.

4. Lillypad
Pewfell’s college roommate was partially turned into a toad in his magical resistivety finals. Lillypad now works as restaurant critic for the Spirekassle Gazette.

5. Podrick and Pankratz
As infants, Pewfell and Tina's twin boys were accidentally placed inside a powerful magical artifact known as the 'Thrones of Chaos'. The wizards at the university say they should be fine as long as they keep taking their pills.

 

 

 

6. Rødnez
Tina's steed and household pet is an affectionate vegan wyvern.

7. Bish Bathenwell
Cyborg cleric devoted the goddess Hornbag, an obscure deity that no-one else has ever heard of. Though Hornbag appears to be a product of Bish's deranged mechanical mind, his faith and it's accompanying vow of chastity remain unshakable.

8. Pedwyn, Alias: “The Jackal”
Pedwyn is a free spirit who loves life and loathes only boredom. Though he believes himself to be of good moral character, he often finds that crime is the most efficient way to earn a living.

9. Fug the Barbarian
Fug's easy-going and peaceful nature is somewhat hampered by massively destructive fits of berserker rage that warp his body into a twisted and uncontrollable killing machine.

10. Kolin Kook
Bish's loyal but hopelessly vacant acolyte.

 

11. Bogbrian
Landlord of Pewfell's local, the Hog's Nuts Wyne Bar and Grille.

12. Petronio Politicus
Behind his foppish exterior, Pewfell's attorney is devious, deadly, and completely untrustworthy.

Long-suffering chief of the Spirekassle City Sewer Patrol.

14. Brother Bardy
A clerical cousin of Pewfell’s who serves as an acolyte in the Black Church of Baphommet, Devil Lord of the Twelve and a Half Hells and as bassist in a popular punk rock band.

15. Cuthpert Codpeace
Spirekassle’s wealthiest and most well respected businessmen. Cuthpert is determined to see the city grow as prosperous and cosmopolitan as any in the world.

More About the Strip

Pewfell is an epic fantasy sitcom that follows the amazing adventures of an inept wizard, his warrior princess wife and the small blue gnome who squats in their basement. In the current storyline Pewfell has moved his family to the country and become the new McLurgi's Magic Shoppe franchise holder for the rural village of Bletchley-on-Soddon.

Pewfell began running as daily webcomic in early 2001 and was one of the charter strips offered as part of ModernTales.com when it launched in 2002 and continues to appear there to this day. Pewfell is also now one of the first comics to be specifically formatted for the iPod, downloadable at Clickwheel.net - the premier site for iPod comics. 

I love to work in the sci-fi/fantasy genre because it frees me to tell stories that are not tied to any specific location or time and can provide some perspective and comment on the wacky world we live in. It also means I get to draw lots of fun stuff like goofy looking monsters and chainmail bikinis.

I was born and raised in Basingstoke, England but now live and work in San Francisco. Some of my inspirations for Pewfell include Popeye, Asterix, The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers and the books of Terry Pratchett.

Reviews

Here are some nice things others have had to say about Pewfell:


Pewfell Porfingles: Is kick ass, with extra kick left over in case more ass shows up. Great art, and cool fantasy/sci-fi storylines
Tycho Brahe, Penny Arcade


Solid laughs, funny characters, and ludicrous plot points from start to finish... [Chuck] does a very nice job of visually bringing Pewfell’s milieu to life. This remains one of my favorite indy sleepers: a satisfying little book.
