Marty the Martian Farmer: Friends and Family (and Cow)
(Characters by Frank Sudol)
|
|
Marty is a middle aged farmer who happens to live on the planet Mars. Other than being a pronounced shade of green he has normal human features and dresses in typical farmer apparel. Marty is a hard worker and is known for his prize-winning vegetables. Unlike his neighbors and supporting cast, Marty is not your typical “little green man.” He doesn’t believe in stereotypes and has no intention of becoming one. |

|
Jimmy is Marty’s friend and nearest neighbor. He is tall, thin, and clumsy. He collects space junk and attempts to build his own spaceship using knowledge gleaned from watching every sci-fi movie ever seen (most of which he thinks are true!). He is quite the conspiracy theorist, and he believes he has been abducted, among other things. Like most others in their small Martian farm community, Jimmy reveres Earth and yearns for anything earthling. |

|
Although Marty’s wife, Savannah, is perhaps the most beautiful Martian you’ll ever see, she epitomizes the traditional farm wife. She stays busy with chores: cleaning, milking cows, hanging clothes out to dry, cooking, and so on. She fully supports Marty’s strong beliefs, but is sometimes easily influenced by the others. |
|
|
Marty’s teenage daughter, like her mother, is a beautiful Martian. But that is where the similarities end. Clarita is a feisty and rebellious teenage girl who longs to live anywhere but Mars. She wishes she were an Earth girl so she would not have such ugly green skin. Plus, if she were an earthling, she would finally be able to date cute boys. While on the surface Clarita and Marty appear to be complete opposites, they actually have more in common than meets the eye. |
|
Serinabell |
Jimmy’s cow, Serinabell, is an obese dairy cow with a perceptible green tint and two short horns that resemble antennae. She is nonchalant, lacking any emotion, unless you consider her insatiable hunger an emotion. |
