Characters

* The Boy is literally only a head on a stick, despite which he is something of an idealist.
* Slither the snake, who tends to be more of a skeptic.

Other recurring characters include Nancy, a tooth who fights injustice; Florida Cracker, a right-wing cracker from Florida; Frickles Mudcat, a fish who is running for President of the United States and is only ever seen in one fixed pose; and God, who is depicted as a cloud with lightning bolts for arms, a bottle of beer and a cigarette.
