FALL is a webcomic by Andy Wong that takes place in the semi-fictional town of Allstone, Massachusetts. It details the unchronological lives and adventures of a group of twenty-somethings that live there:
Maaya

Maaya Maria Wa
Age: 23

Maaya lives in Allstone with her childhood best friend, Steph Taylor. Her mind tends to wander a lot. She thinks about Dim-Sum cart theory, plays too many video games, and escapes from work too often. She is currenty unemployed, and now annoys or hangs out with Steph.

Steph

Stephanie Jill Taylor
Age: 24

Steph has known Maaya since they were around ten years old. In their friendship, Steph acts out as the "responsible one", sometimes correcting Maaya's strange behavior with little success. She likes to write short stories in her spare time, and takes graduate classes at a local university.

Hanna

Hanna Berry Starr
Age: 22

Hanna originally appears as a mysterious time traveller, sent by the Time-Space Society to repair the fabric of time. However, after a future Maaya destroys the "Band Hero" timeline, Hanna reappears as Steph's philosophy classmate. Due to Maaya and Steph's rent trouble, Hanna moves in with them.

Max

Max Rex Chang
Age: 25

Max Chang makes video games. His latest creation was Band Hero, a musical game which can be used as a multi-digital instrument interface to make and compose music. In the current timeline, Band Hero was never created, causing him stress and depression in an upcoming story arc.

Dr.Bird

Dr. Felonious Friedrich Bird
Age: ??

WE'RE BIRDS!

 

FALL started on March 9, 2007 and was updated weekly, or on a "when I felt like it" basis. This was due to the experimentation of format (and my previous lack of punctuality), going from a single page comic to a several page comic, then back to a single/double page comic. Since September 2008, FALL is updated twice a week (every Tuesday and Thursday).

FALL has story arcs, but not exactly in the traditonal sense. They are more like phases, each with a thin underlying theme. Listed below are these arcs in some kind of order:

01. Of Dim Sum Carts and Space Ninjas
