Jed Jr. is the main subject of our story. He is not the hero, anti-hero, pop-culture icon, everyman, or savior. His dad messed him up pretty good, but he has an inkling of something greater than his upbringing. He has several friends and yet always feels alone. He is a stick-figure in a world of flesh and often intends to change that.

Roy: Jed's surrogate father. Jed lives with Roy & Peg for a time after being kicked out of Jed Sr.'s house. Roy drops Jed off at the bus station because Jed has done something truly awful to Peg.

Old Man: Although we don't know his name, we do know that he understands a lot about Jed's life. He knows that he is in a black and white world and he knows the only reason he's here is because the world is black and white. Jed meets him briefly on a bus back to Lower Anjil.

Dave: Jed grew up with Dave in Lower Anjil. The house he once lived in is now occupied by Mona. He's always been a little eccentric, but we find that these eccentricities have taken him far.

Ducky: Dave's mom. She is very homely and the subject of a lot of teenage abuse. Although she means well, she often lets people - especially her son and Jed - take advantage of her.

Amy: Jed's first serious girlfriend. Sometime before graduation, Amy went insane. She is now in an asylum.  Before she left, Jed found a journal of hers with a drawing of a one-winged bird.  He thinks about her quite a bit.

Sis: Fred’s sister, daughter of Roy & Peg.  She has long been Jed’s love interest, though never his lover.  She left home sometime around Jed’s graduation to live with her boyfriend in an undisclosed location. Jed thinks of her often.
