I don't think we've figured out all the people on this one yet.
-
Brock Peuchk, The Gorch, Count Rockula, Darren, Andy the Carp, Ronald Thomas Clontle...
-
Yes, it's NN. I provided one suggestion for this artwork upon seeing a not-yet-final version.
-
Don't everyone jump in at once to identify the other characters. It's unseemly.
-
I believe I also see...
Bryce Prefontaine
Hammerhead of Threat to Society
Judge Montgomery Davies with a device of some sort
Darren from work
Horse from Jock Squad
and a tiny Timmy Von Trimble sporting a confederate flag.
-
also Bishop Pablo Fontana, Power Pop Pop Pop, Zachary Brimstead, Kid Ebay and Mr. Sherbert
-
Here are some more that I don't think have been mentioned:
Rick from the Washington Generals
Gene Simmons
GG Allin
Philly Boy Roy
Barry Dworkin/Gas Station Dogs
Zachary Brimstead, Esq
Trent L. Strauss
Pudge
and what's the name of Jon's Father/Priest character?
and is that Marky Ramone reading erotic fan fiction?
-
Gus Brennan
Matthew Tompkins (pointing, coke tube, sunglasses, bluetooth)
One of the "I dropped my Fluffernutter sandwich!" guys
I don't know:
The guy with the bat
The girl? down front with the bow in her hair
The guy in the green striped shirt
The guy in the orange shirt
The guy with the guitar and the pills
The guy with the blue
The guy with the xxx bottle
-
The girl? down front with the bow in her hair
This is a tough one because I suspect that it is incongruous to what most people imagine the character to look like, but it's a valid interpretation by NN (we discussed this; my assumption on who it was wrong when I first saw a draft of the illustration).

My guess is Rhoda Ziegler?

That was my guess, and it was wrong!

I think the guy with the green glasses and green striped shirt and mustache is Terrence from Billyburg maybe and the guy with the blue looks like he has a tape recorder in his pocket so I thought it might be Bob but I don't think he does Blue in that call so I don't know.
and I think that Reggie Munroe in the bottom right corner

sheila larson?
-
Oh, the kid in the green shirt/red hat and the guy in the orange shirt are Big Bill and Little Bill.
Also see a mouse with a cape.
The "girl" is probably a man. She has a unibrow. Were there any men who dressed as ladies? I confess that I know the 2000-2007 calls better than the 2008-2013 ones.
Butch Daffodil?

sheila larson?
Yes.
-
sheila larson?
Yes.
On what call was she described that way?
-
Also, who has the cane?
-
does this help us identify all of them? Is the cane part of someone who is out of frame?

I think #3 is Rick from the Washington Generals
-
sheila larson?
Yes.
On what call was she described that way?
yeah...I would never have guessed that. why the unibrow? why the pink bow? isn't she supposed to be like this babe that everyone's dated and not like an ugly child? i kinda baffled. I always pictured her like your steroetypical 80's jersey shore kinda chick you know? big hair, jean jacket, thick accent, chewing gum
-
#39 is Gus Brennan of the Newbridge Ratmen
Also, the arm on the left with the cane is not part of the guy with the fluffernutter sandwich.
-
4: Corey Harris (real name Dinkins) of Mother 13
9: The boss of the Pod Locker who punishes Todd "Count Rockula" Eno
-
Corrections:
24 Matthew Tompkins of Shout! Network (could be Ron Jacobs of Shout! Radio, but Tompkins looms much larger in Newbridgia)
38 is Brock Peuchk, in a ski-mask with a knife
-
was brock the guy that was seeing his reflection or something but didn't know it was him? something like that, right?
-

yeah, he called as a "neighborhood hero" saying he kept foiling crimes by a guy with a knife and ski mask, then him and tom go off on a crazy tangent about newscasters and how they secretly shaped rock music.
it's on the best show gems, one of the best calls ever in my opinon
-
Also, who has the cane?
this might not help much, but i just noticed the spikes on the cane and remembered the line, "Then I would flick the cane, and I would slash you in the face." from one of the old show intros. i have no idea who said it, though.
-
11 is Hammerhead
I think 18 is the only one not identified.

Good catch on the tape recorder, he "weighs in on the blu epidemic" as one of his bits..so he's a possibility.
-
All right, now we really do have at least suggestions - strong ones, I think - for everyone but
#18, who is a crazed-looking guy with a baseball bat.
#29, who is a drunk guy with weird lips
-
Could 18 be Bruce Willis? He was really aggressive in studio, can't recall of the top of my head if he might have had a bat.

yep you nailed it. I just relistened to when he storms the studio and he's crazed, wielding a bat.
so does that just leave 29? I've been racking my brain but I can't come up with a good guess. I'm just going to say it's Zeph
-
I love the listing on the inside spine of the box set -- I try guessing and then check the list. Averaging 60% right now
-

Zeph makes sense.
-
I believe it was a Darren (?) call where he said that Sheila "isn't really a woman."
