i found that having 3 pages for cast worked well, one for good, evil and neutral... AND THAT SYSTEM WILL WORK FOR EVERY COMIC NO MATTER WHAT! unless you start subdividing into the lawfuls and chaotics, then you need more pages and a crapload of characters

All of my characters are neutral in the sense that they just try to look out for themselves, their survival, the pursuit of their desires - and lately, the survival of their babies. Some of them may have some strange desires and odd ways of bringing them about, but I'll let the reader judge whether that makes them evil.
cripes, doesn't anyone have a sense of sarcasm anymore?

Although my strip is still in it's infancy, I've already got one of my main characters
eating the flesh of the livingand the other spiking his friends drink with
questionable material.
I'd still however, consider them both to be basically 'good guys'.
I think the amount of material put into a cast page (or having a cast page at all) can be good for some but not for others. 'depends on the strip.
