Characters

Primary

• Gary - Gary Thompson is the main character and the protagonist of the series. At the beginning of the webcomic, he is still a virgin and works at a call center, but has a passion for drawing comics which he eventually starts to turn into a career. Much of the storyline arcs revolve around him. He is extremely shy and nervous around women, to the point where he passes out if he sees one naked. He eventually loses his virginity to Kiley.
• Zii - Suzi Nielsen is Gary's roommate. Petite in stature, she is extremely sexual, having encounters with both men and women in group and one-on-one settings. She lives a carefree life trying to restart her music career in an all-female band. Her primary focus has been to get Gary to open up and enjoy the physical pleasures of life.
• Didi - Désirée Chastel is Gary's other roommate; she is French Canadian, specifically a francophone Québécquoise originally from Laval. She is known for her physical beauty and large breasts, which seem to enamour both men and women equally. She is described as "Amazonian strong." She is sexually unsatisfied, becoming more and more frustrated as the series has progressed. Painfully stupid.
