Moe

Moeseph Pontoon Dope, or Moe, is the titular character of Moe Comics at firmanproductions.com, authored by Michael Firman. Moe is a blend of intelligence and stupidity. Although he has an above-average vocabulary and makes use of it through witty word play, he is stymied by basic social interactions and facets of everyday living. His circumstance mixed with his abrasive personality lead Moe into outlanding, sometimees perilous, escapades which develop over a few strips. These are abandoned by the narrative without any real conclusion and Moe moves on to new adventures, while the previous storylines are rarely mentioned again. Some of these abortive stories include Moe working at a grocery store, Moe being forced to attend kindergarden, Moe's brother, Bo, being eated by a serpent, Moe being buried alive, Moe being part of an hostage situation, and Moe being sent to prision for murder. The few characters that recur throughout the strip are his infant brother, Bo, and his two roommates, who dislike him, his grandfather, who is a strict dicipinarian, and Alicia, the girl who he loves.
