Cast

cast_jay Jay Wilder: Recent college graduate who’s dissatisfied with his boring job, his vapid society, and himself. Likes robots, hot pockets, and retro video games. He’s the guy this comic is about.
cast_lucas Lucas Black: Jay’s responsibly wacky roommate. He kids because he loves.
cast_grace Grace: A mutual friend of Jay and Lucas from the church singles group. She likes Switchfoot, watching movies, and…the occasional beer. Gasp!
cast_chad Chad: Jay’s co-worker. Apparently exists solely to belittle Jay?
cast_nate Nate: He’s trying to quit smoking. Sometimes the withdrawal makes him irritable.
cast_erin Erin: Known as “Raving Liberal Erin” due to her outspoken leftist tendencies, and also to distinguish her from “Erin with the Eighty-Gallon Fishtank.”
cast_erin2 Erin with the Eighty-Gallon Fishtank: Has never actually appeared in this comic, and was only referred to once. Frankly, I’m not sure she even exists.
