Characters
Too Much Coffee Man wears what appears to be a spandex version of old-fashioned red "long johns" (full-body underwear with a buttoned flap on the back for bodily functions) with a large mug attached atop his head; it remains unclear whether he is wearing it or whether it is physically part of him. He rarely sleeps and his nerves are shot from an excess of caffeine. He spends most time in his apartment or at the local coffee shop with his often pessimistic cohorts, debating politics and the toils of urban society. He has also been in outer space and in a U.S. prison.
Too Much Espresso Guy is his cynical friend. The espresso cup atop his head is strapped on in an obvious way.
Too Much German White Chocolate Woman With Almonds is a mutual friend. She is pale-skinned, worries a lot, and has large almonds on her face.
Underwater Guy is another mutual friend, who wears a wetsuit with a diving snorkel and mask.
Mystery Woman is Too Much Coffee Man's secret love.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“There are characters which are continually creating collisions and nodes for themselves in dramas which nobody is prepared to act with them. Their susceptibilities will clash against objects that remain innocently quiet.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. That’s what their substance is.”
—Jonathan Miller (b. 1936)
“Waxed-fleshed out-patients
Still vague from accidents,
And characters in long coats
Deep in the litter-baskets
All dodging the toad work
By being stupid or weak.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
