The usual suspects from left to right: Neil tugging a rope tied to a mug, Dave tripping out, Issac doing his Charlie Brown impression, and Morty in a Freudian pose

Shartak MS Paint Comics is a project with Fester Shinetop as illustrator and main writer. Styled after amateur cartoonist Andrew Hussie's MS Paint Adventures, the comics are released as serials. The content is in part contributed by a user base, and overseen by Fester's editorial decisions.

As with many fantasy genre series, the adventure follows a motley crew of diverse members, sometimes with complementing traits. In this case, the major characters are:

  • Issac Shepherd - Your bald, slightly unorthographically named, foolhardy youth of a protagonist with a penchant for trouble.
  • Neil - A hardy barbarian useful as a meat shield.
  • Dave - Master spellcaster as soothing as he is inefficient. Possible pedophile.
  • Morty - Everyone's favorite skeleton who totally isn't dead.
