It was the first, and remains the only, comic to deal specifically and unflinchingly with the Internet culture and technology. The leader of the cast is NetBoy himself. He's an innocent who's enamored of. His misunderstandings and mistakes allow technology-befuddled readers to laugh at themselves. LanMan has a scribbled mouth and an abrasive personality.
Love is for rec.pets.cats.
The final member of the trio is Bran, a bespectacled, bow-tied nerd with an endless parade of new invention. The characters are drawn simply, but expressively. Their sparce lines and colors are in direct opposition to the complexity of the electronic world. With one click, readers can give direct feedback to Huyler. They yea or nay changes in a character's look or demeanor and speculate about the plot lines.
