Name: Alice Cooper
Occupation: Student
Date of Birth: December 28, 1982

Alice has been taking care of Neko since 1999, despite the fact that pets aren't allowed in on-campus accommodation. Her appearance is based in part on a girl I had a crush on when I started drawing the strip, and in part on my inability to draw people properly. She takes her name from an early goth singer who, as it happens, also appeared on 'The Muppet Show'.

Name: Gar Molloy
Occupation: Student / Cartoonist (amateur)
Date of Birth: February 13, 1982

Originally this character was a sort of narrator, but molley liked the way he was drawn and so added him to the cast as a character who has the same name, personality, and appearance as Her. This is good because it makes him very easy to write. Name: Jeff Riverside
Occupation: Student / Video stor clerk (part-time)
Date of Birth: June 06, 1981

Name: Jeff Riverside
Occupation: Student / Video stor clerk (part-time)
Date of Birth: June 06, 1981

A friend of Gar's since their freshman year at Beckett University, Jeff started seeing Alice after she broke up with her previous boyfriend for crapping in her bed one drunken night. Though it started as a rebound relationship, they actually work well as a couple, which irritates Gar greatly. Jeff is based on two separate friends of mine from college, neither one of which is dating any of the girls Alice is based on. He's named after a book on my English Literature course, 'The Riverside Chaucer.'

Name: Maisy
Occupation: Unemployed
Date of Birth: August 27, 1998

Maisy lives with Alice's neighbour, Sarah. She's more curious and adventurous than Neko, and this can get her into trouble sometimes. It can also make her catch fire.

Name: Sarah Barrett
Occupation: Student / Software Pirate
Date of Birth: October 22, 1983

Alice's neighbour is in general the most cheerful person in any given situation. This has led many people to consider her naive, or at least terminally stupid, whereas she is in fact merely on antidepressants.
Sarah is intended to be more cartoonish than the other characters, and to provide a foil for the predominantly cynical main cast. She's named after the first person ever to send fan art.
