Cameos in May 16 comic

A college comic that really IS about college. Nothing Special chronicles the adventures of Rob, everyman student, as he attempts to navigate the insane world of college life, filled with demented dormmates, crazy co-eds, pushy professors, and all sorts of other alliterative adversaries.

Hi Matt,

Got your e-mail. Thanks, for including my characters in your finale. I appreciate the thought ... I was wondering, who are the others ?

I see:
Gwen from catharsis
The players from Once On a Table
I think that's Rob and Elliot that are kinda in the crook of Rob's left arm
The cat girl from that one comic
...
that's all I got.

Wellllll....

All the guesses thus far are correct

6 players from OUAT (6 out of 21, 1 out of 11)
Lizbeth and brother from Point comics (8 out of 21, 2 out of 11)
Leene and Detzer from Ban the Basics (10 out of 21, 3 out of 11)
Doodlebunny from Catharsis (11 out of 21, 4 out of 11)
Rob and Elliot from comic of same name (13 out of 21, 5 out of 11)

which leaves 8 more folks from 6 more comics.

I don't want to give toooo much away, so here are some hints:

3 of the characters are from 2 different Drunk Duck strips who've been very supportive of my entry into that community
1 of the characters should look very familiar because his original artist has done more work for me than he has for his own strip
1 of the characters should REALLY stand out, partly because his author did my first couple guest strips, but mainly for another reason.
1 of the characters has been fairly active on my tagboard and also did a guest strip for me
2 of the characters might look less familiar since they are being redesigned, but the author did include Rob in his 3-year anniversary special comic.

I will reveal all on Friday, after the final epilogue strip has been posted.

Okay, since it's Friday, here are the remaining folks.

You have Zoe and Silas from Earthbound and Detective Fork from his self-titled comic on Drunk Duck right above Catharsis's Doodbunny.
There's Guy Average from Why Not right behind Joe.
Next to him is Xodin from Furmentation, who should stand out because he's a hamster.
At the top, holding the oar is Alex from Grrmonkeys on Keenspace.
Below her are Ben and Sofia from Breakpointcity on Keenspace.

I should really post some links to them or something.
