Generally I agree. My small concern is that some of these are thrid party
trademarks such as Tux-linux and Gulliver-BMC. Whereas the new KosherFrog
which I shall introduce soon has no problems.  And I thinks we also need to
have a clearer idea of their roles. (e.g. in the first photocomic Felix Q
Potuit was briefly on the side of the "goodies" whereas in the second he is
clearly an arrogant academic (he actually has LSE tattooed on his back).

This could become a "peanuts" like strip with a smallish number of
situations and open speech bubbles. These have the great advantage that
they can have translations (or even completely different) stories.
