		Humor is where Melonpool tends to fall short of the mark.

		Melonpool is very rare among internet strips as it has well-developed characters with charm and personality and is well-drawn.
		The Ultimate Melonpool is a great book about the evolution of one of todays most popular internet comic strips.
		With any luck, this entire "Melonpool" saga will be just a chapter in the life of a terribly gifted, if misguided, cartoonist.

		Indeed, Melonpool and Zortic themselves ended the crossover by quoting Shatner in a dozen different episodes and movies, in what has to be one of the most logical and yet unsatisfying crossovers I've encountered.
		Melonpool could have easily represented the Trekkies and Zortic the other faction...
		Things have wrapped up though, and Zortic and Melonpool are going on their separate ways.

	Review: The Ultimate Melonpool by Steve Troop (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		It may be premature to rank Melonpool up with Calvin and Hobbes and Bloom County, but they're certainly in the same league.
		While the book is a very nice collection of the comic strip, it's primary value is as a scrapbook of the evolution of an idea from it's barest form, through all it's growth, to its fully realized final form.
		Not only does Troop provide us with glimpses at the earliest days of Melonpool (in the Palomar College Telescope), but most of the strips (or series of strips) are heavily commented by the author, giving us a rare glimpse directly into the creative process.

	Melonpool Scheduled to Return \| Comixpedia
		Steve Troop's beloved Melonpool is scheduled for a return in early November.
		This is a much earlier return than Troop's earlier assessment, where he made no guarantees of his return to webcomics at all.
		Troop says, "The time off has made me miss the strip again, and I have Melonpool stories left that I want to tell." He is still working on his Flash movies and animations, but now has a reasonable backlog of strips to relieve the stress of updating daily.

	Melonpool Finale \| Comixpedia
		The regular updates are expected to stop at some point "in mid-June" (the characters are currently saying their goodbyes).
		In addition to the eight years of the cast's misadventures on the Web, most of the Melonpool family have existed in sketches and drawings since 1983.
		Although the strip was expected to continue for another year, Troop claims his heart is no longer fully dedicated to the webcomic and is shifting his creative energies to other projects.

		The cast of characters from MAYBERRY MELONPOOL star in "Melonpool: The Wrath of the Con." It's the first 27 pages of the upcoming graphic novel, which won't be complete and in stores near you until later in the fall.
		The math was an unfortunate speed bump along the way.) The graphic novel is meant to not just tell a large-scale Melonpool story, but to also introduce the characters for new readers.
		Mayberry Melonpool is the story of a small group of aliens who have landed on the planet earth and now attempt to not be seen by the humans who might fear and mock them.

		Upon entering the site I noticed a blue background with a white swirl and a handful of cartoon characters starring back at me. Immediatedly I read through the archives and was hooked from there on.
		You would think Steve Troop (the creator of Melonpool) would have gone with the cliche plot where aliens land on Earth and destroy everything in their path, including that lone flower.
		At the moment, there are 5 books and contained within each book are several personal notations and reflections from Troop while creating each strip, something he created while in college, and other extras that you won’t see on the web site.

		When I stumbled upon Melonpool 5 years ago it was the result of a random Yahoo!
		Typing feveriously (65 WPM and chicken peckin’) at my keyboard I came up with something along the lines of “aliens and hampsters.” Why I linked these two together I’ll never know, but lo and behold the first link on the list was Melonpool.
		I sat there for a couple minutes wondering what a Melonpool was and decided it would be best to investigate the matter by clicking the link.

	New Melonpool puppet WIP - Muppet Central Forum
		The beauty of making the antennae this way is that when performed around kids, you don;t run the risk of poking out an eye like you do with wire antennae because the vinyl is really soft and pliable, but has really good memory to it.
		First of all, your character designs are just incredible and they translate really well to 3D.

		(It might drive Steve crazy to know that this cartoon was the first Melonpool strip I ever saw, considering that the characters weren’t exactly typical in that strip, and there was a certain amount of backstory needed to understand it.
		I think if Melonpool hadn’t been so much fun to read, I might not have been so heavily inspired.
		To me, it was a comic that should have been mainstream, that should have launched a thousand TV specials and merchandising deals, that should have been discussed at the water cooler in every office.
