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.

That is different. They are characters beyond
Reality, composed thereof. They are
The fictive man created out of men.
They are men but artificial men.”
