The Buggle Bros are of course based on the original band members of
The Buggles, just at T. D'Olby is based on
Thomas Dolby. Originally D'Olby appeared as an easy rescue for the characters, but I had to give him a backstory and place for m\him to take them. I created the characters Jeff and Trevor as partly based on Ben and Jerry Horne from
Twin Peaks, two entrepreneurial siblings who are a bit flaky in their own way. Neither Jeff or Mr Berkley (pronounced Bark-lee) appeared in the first story as such, but the reason for their absence was to have an impact in the next story.
Berkley is a modded free
Bothan AV. I might contact the creator and see if I can port him over to my grid. I wanted Curtis to project a professional but detached character, and too great pains to get his appearance right. Neeta on the other hand is a version of an open source character (q.v.) who I thought would be perfect for the comic.
