Characters

Gary is a cranky mutant fish man who lives in a polluted lake. His father was a 300ft monster and his mother was a trout. He just wants to be left alone but things keep happening to him.

Dr. Elliott Williams is a talented genetic engineer who works out of a lab under Gary's lake in order to study his unique genetic mutations. She is very intelligent, and though sometimes can come off as aloof or uncaring, she is passionate about doing her work ethically... most of the time.

Blank is a robot from the future sent back in time to clean up the environment, but since Gary hit him on the head with a tree branch, he's now a neurotic, lonely, sheepish doormat with an eating disorder.

Goo Boy is Gary's son, born from a weird web sac. Goo Boy is always hungry for his Dad's attention, but seldom gets it in the way he wants. He is curious, innocent, and has inherited more than a few of his father's tendencies.

Like Gary, Saatvik is a mutant fish man, but he was born in India. Saatvik is Gary's ex-boyfriend and full time surrogate father to Goo Boy. He is everything Gary isn't: kind, generous, charitable, and hard-working. He and Gary are no longer together, but Saatvik must put up with him in order to co-parent Goo Boy.

Treeful Gorge is a mutant plant from the other side of Gary's lake. He and Gary are always fighting over territory, with Treeful's position being that "plants were here first." He is more like Gary than he realizes or would ever admit.

Swill Williams is a mutant blend of a pig and an octopus (a hogtopus) created by Elliott in a test tube and raised as her daughter. Swill is young, in college, and wants badly to surpass her mother's achievements in science.

Dr. Eugene Bublé (Dr. Bubble) is Elliott's sworn enemy; an arrogant and opportunistic scientist who will do anything for recognition, no matter how many ethical rules he has to break. He and Elliott are locked in an ongoing battle of one-upsmanship. His trademark helmet is due to an accident he rightfully blames on Elliott, filling her with guilt.

Santa Claus is the president of the United States and he sucks.

The marketing aliens are nameless corporate entities from an unknown world that occasionally like to test alien products on Gary. They don't know very much about Earth creatures and their products are not usually tailored for our enjoyment.

Gary's mother Janet is a manipulative, cruel, self-aggrandizing narcissist. She's also a trout.

Blank's "sister," initially known as Unit 926, was sent back in time to repair our crumbling infrastructure. After being hit on the head, her morality circuits fried, turning her into an unapologetic anarchist. She now roams the past not trying to fix it, but to fill it with chaos.

Tugger Billfold is the world's most famous criminal trillionaire. He is usually allowed to do all the crimes he wants because he has all the money.

Albino squid creatures from an alternate dimension, the Void Cultists have set up their cult around Gary's lake and are always trying to create ideal conditions for the return of their ancient, demonic squid god. They love money, tricking people into giving them money, and spreading misinformation that leads to people giving them money.

Gary's dad's is a legendary 300ft monster who is now retired. Gary looks up to him (literally and figuratively), despite his problematic past of decimating cities and siring an unknown number of Gary's half-siblings.

Winston is a mutant bear who lives around Gary's lake. He has three butts and has no patience for Gary's nonsense, like when Gary calls him "Winnie Three Poo."

Mr. Crimeskull is a second generation immigrant from Transkullvania who regularly suffers discrimination based on his unfortunate name and ethnicity as a disembodied flying skull. He is a nice man.

Phillip is a very old mutant chimpanzee/turtle hybrid who lives in and around Gary's lake. He can be set in his ways, out of touch with the real world, and arrogant.
