Maren Garner. She has a lot of me in her, I guess that's why it makes her easy to write for, and I seem to enjoy drawing her the most as well. My antagonists are lovely too, but they're not in the story yet.

People seem to like Mika best though... probably because she's so cheery.

My favorite is my main/title character, both because he's fun to draw and because he gets away with being verbally hostile with anyone who ticks him off even the slightest. It's fun to write for a character like that. Personally, I figure that if your main character isn't your favorite, maybe you should re-think whom the comic is about.
Picking my favorite character from Doc Hyperion and Girl from BOLT is easy, the main characters of course (though Prof. Atomvik almost edges Doc out in Doc Hyperion). With Wish In One Hand it's a little more difficult. Most of the characters are very loosely based off of people I know, which makes it tempting to say Grant is my favorite character since it's pretty obvious he is modeled after myself. Grant is just a beefier, slightly less intelligent, slightly more crass me. However, as I do more and more strips I'm digging Phylo (the other half of the strips dynamic duo) a lot as well. He's upbeat though slightly neurotic, nothing really affects him or gets him down for long, and he tends to just ignore bad luck and stupid people.
Hard to pick a favorite, but one of my favorites to write is Linton, Station V3's (ex) security officer (seen - for example - here) - overenthusiastic, loved having his security job, but not exactly committed to it if anything actually went wrong... abandoned his job and was fired last year, and joined up with his relatives the pirates, who weren't exactly thrilled to have him.
His most recent appearance was actually in The Mansion of E in a guest strip I drew, where a ship passing over the forest near the mansion dropped him off (in a box, without landing first).
Funkstain or Miko, I'm not sure which. Funkstain is a pleasure to put into a strip, as he gets randomness out of my head, but I've been drawing Miko since I was 13, so yeah.
Caught in the headlamp glare of your own blinding vanity/Mesmerised by the stare of your shallow personality
Gorging the junk food of flattery you drag your fat ego around/Everyone floored by the battering you give to whoever's around
Oh Narcissus you petulant child admiring yourself in the curve of my eyes/Oh Narcissus you angel beguiled unsated by self you do nothing but die
Most readers can identify more with Vicki than either superintelligent MM or her mentally-challenged other idenity Lorelei, so I'll say Vicki, despite her being an A.I./hologram.---Al
Personally, my favorite character from my own comic has to be Jonas O'Rion...because first of all, I've never had more fun with any other character than Jonas as he's such a clown. And also, I do enjoy writing and reading about characters who experience amnesia. It's fun to see how their character develops more and more as they continue life until they've remembered everything about themselves. When that happens...what exactly will they do with their lives? Do they go on with their new lives, or revert to their old ones? I just love that kind of conflict!

Vicki pisses me off, always telling me there are no more comics.
