Eric the sheep

Eric the sheep was created by and is edited by Aidan Rees (Head of small comic publishers company "Computer Comics Incorporated" located in Rhyl). Aidan Rees first thought of the concept and wrote the comics for Eric the sheep as a six year old boy and is still in possession of the majority of them. As the series progressed we saw Eric celebrating christmas, going bankrupt, gaining (and losing) superhuman powers and starring in a Harry Potter film. Later on a longer comic was released to the public and it was classed as Computer Comics Incorporated's first graphic novel, It explained the through history of Eric and his relations and it involves a dramatic plot also to do with Eric and his relations.

Main Characters

Eric

Eric used to live on a farm somewhere in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch but he escaped and got bumped in the head with a super intelligence ray from a nearby mad prof's laboratory, making him able to speak, stand on his hind legs and drink beverages. After this Eric runs amock doing whatever he pleases with his new freedom and intelligence eg. Gatecrashing a party in the White House, Buying front row tickets for the 2010 FIFA World Cup (with somebody else's money). He meets his half brother Fleric, his half sister Flerica, his sister Erica, his brother Fred and lots of other relatives (though he has known his half brother Fleric since #3) in Computer Comics Incorporated's first graphic novel entitled The Curse of the Long Lost Relatives. Eric also nearly dies several times (most of these were failed assassination attempts by his half brother Fleric) one of these was when he is used as a football when the 2010 fifa world cup balls run out in a practise match (as the last ball bursts Eric dives to catch it in hope that he could sell it but as he jumps onto the pitch he realises that he is petrified of large crowds watching him and curls in to a ball in fear).

Erica

Erica is a sheep that used to live on the same farm as her brother in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. She appears in every issue except the first fifteen. Sge looks exactly like Eric with eyeliner and fake eyelashes (Eric has had eyeliner and false eyelashes on before in The Curse of the Long Lost Relatives. When Erica is the elvan princess in #12 she falls in love with an anonymous sheep that is also seen in the background of the second panel on the third page. She dates Fred the fish when they fall in love in #16 but he dumps her in #29. When he makes her cry by doing this Fred the sheep has to be held back by Eric to stop him from taking Fred the fish out of the water. She now often still flirts with Fred the fish but he doesn't flirt with her because he is now dating Christy Walton (not because he likes her but because she has a $23 billion fortune.

Fleric

Fleric is the evil half brother of Eric the sheep and Erica the sheep and twin brother of Flerica the sheep(they all lived on the same farm in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch and all became more intelligent for various different reasons which are revealed in the graphic novel entitled The Curse of the Long Lost Relatives). Fleric looks exactly like his half brother Eric except that Fleric has a unibrow and is almost always either smiling or scowling while Eric has no eyebrows at all and almost always has a different facial expression at least every three issues. While there is an uncanny resemblance between Eric and Fleric in terms of looks they both have completely different personalities (Fleric is an evil prison escapee and Eric is a thrill seeking, good hearted friend to everyone who returns the favour). In #12 Fleric seems to get crushed by a weight that weighs 1,000 million tonnes while falling into the lava of Mt.Doom but makes a still unexplained return in the next issue.

Minor characters

Fred the fish

Fred the fish sometimes appears in the comics and dislikes Eric's brother Fred because Fred is always complaining AbOUT how he should be the only Fred in the "thing" (it is popularly assumed that by "thing" Fred means comic or comic book which shows that the sheep are aware that they are comic book characters and that they are non-existent) but they are not one-another's enemy. Fred the fish is usual the main character in the Fred the fish comics, which are also published by Computer Comics Incorporated. Fred's best friend is Eric and always warns him when he can see Fleric lurking around.

Farmer Joe

Farmer Joe is the farmer that ran the farm that Eric and his relatives escaped from. He appears in #1, #4, #7, #10 and on the front page of #12. In most of them he is there because he is looking for his lost sheep to sell to the butchers (he hates all animals, especial fluffy bunny rabbits).

Donut Man

Donut Man is a minor character in Eric the sheep comics but is one of the most important founding characters of Computer Comics Incorporated. He appears in #1 and in #5. In #1 he appears briefly as he bumps into Eric saying that he needs to get to the donut factory urgently(it is almost certain that this is when Donut Man has to save the world from a villain lurking in the donut factory in Donut Man #1 even though this scene is not in the comic itself). And in #5 he gives Eric superhuman strength and gives him the power to turn into a giant at will so that he can destroy Fleric's mansion but only for one day.

Chris Moyles

In #20 Eric "accidentally" sneaks past the guards and into the BBC radio one office and meets Chris Moyles. Eric tells him that he is his biggest fan and then goes on to show him his collection of I heart Chris Moyles mugs, T-shirts and badges. Chris Moyles then calls for security but they think that he is going insane when he tells them that there is a talking sheep in his office. Chris moyles is also mentioned when Eric listens to the radio in The Curse of the Long Lost Relatives.

The Three Freds of C.C.I

The Three Freds of C.C.I is a comic published by Computer Comics Incorporated (C.C.I) that involves Fred the sheep, Fred the fish and Fred Figleburg (all characters from C.C.I) going on an adventure through time and space (with a little help from Chris Moyles) to stop Fleric ruling the universe.
