Ron Planet

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Ron Planet is a comic strip written by Matt Chapman and Craig Zobel. The concept for the comic started in 2006 when Matt and Craig joked about writing a science fiction original movie. This concept was later made into a comic, with its first strip launched on September 17, 2009. The comic stars the title character, Ron Planet, the last astronaut on 2040 Earth. Ron Planet has made a cameo in the Homestar Runner universe, appearing as the starring character in Duck Guardian 2.

Interestingly enough, the Duck Guardian 2 box calls him "The Popular Ron Planet." However, in the comic, he is anything but. In fact, his unpopularity is the driving force behind the storyline.
