Johnny Wander

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

"Johnny Wander might be about life after college, being a kid, growing up and all the people you meet and all the things that happen in that brave new world.

"Or it might be about something else entirely."

Johnny Wander is a Slice of Life webcomic by Yuko Ota and Ananth Panagariya. The comic mostly follows the everyday lives of Yuko and company after graduating college, but since September of 2009, they have started putting up short comics with an Urban Fantasy theme on occasion.

The main cast includes:

Ananth, a self-proclaimed comics nerd, whose hat always covers his eyes. Even when he's not wearing it.
Yuko, a small girl who is often mistaken for a boy, and is "internet famous"[1]. Can also fit inside a dryer.
Conrad, an exhibitionist who likes to eat breakfast 24/7. Also has a very suspicious hairdo.
John, a mildly ornery tallish fellow who likes to clean.
Steve, a DJ who's skillful with bass.
Mike, a musician who can be stopped with shellfish and/or bullets.

Mika: Yuko's mom's cat.
George: smiles all the time.
Evan: is very quiet.
Lela: who likes dogs and cooking.
