About Wavelength
Wavelength is a long-running and until recently casually-updated webcomic centered around the trials and tribulations of a disparate group of nerds and their pet caffeine dinosaur.
Now moving on from university life, they endeavor to run a conveniently-acquired internet cafe without scaring away all their potential customers.
The Gang
Rage
Rage is a budding and eccentric technologist that most likely could combine industrialised cardboard with a house pet and come up with a working integrated circuit. As such he has been put in charge of the cafe’s internet computers and network infrastructure with the explicit understanding that he is not to bring attention to any military weapons satellites.
TQ (TychoQuad)
Ever the proverbial straight man, TQ regularly displays his trademark ability to remain nonplussed in the face of very unnerving situations including incendiary computers and encounters with anthropomorphic time-displaced dinosaurs. His sole bequest to the convention of wacky hijinks is his steadfast adherence to the performing the Unfathomable Sleeve Thing™. Sometimes to be different he takes his arms out of his sleeves.
Klingers
The obese, cynical and self-important Klingers is ostensibly dubbed the cafe’s manager by order of self-proclamation. Nobody cared enough to object. A self-ascribed “libertarian fascist”, Klingers believes in equality and freedom for all as long as they are either him or fit his narrow definition of what does not quantify an inferior human specimen. Everyone else only exists for schadenfreude and flipping burgers.
Wormy
It’s magenta.
Seriously.
The Uberhentai
First name “The”. Obsessed with generally unmentionable animated material that somehow involves tentacles, in years gone by Uberhentai was a bit more overt with casual display and discussion of his chosen interests. Over the last few years since his suitcase of “stuff” discs was destroyed by ninjas he appears to have softened a bit. Although a generally good-hearted individual, these days he spends his time at the cafe generally either being physically rebuffed by a plethora of female customers or looking up things he really shouldn’t be.
Thorg
Thorg is a sauropod of unspecified lineage and classification that has inexplicably survived both the great extinction and uncounted epochs. He has emerged from the annals of history with a rather impressive grasp of colloquial English and a penchant for a good latte. Nobody asks too many questions.
