Main Characters
- Chester "Chet" Brown
- Brown's depiction of himself as an awkward, introverted teenager; he is emotionally withdrawn and finds refuge in drawing.
- Gordon Brown
- Chet's younger and more well-adjusted brother.
- Mrs. Brown
- (1923–76) Chet and Gordon's mother, who is suffering from schizophrenia and is eventually hospitalized and quickly ends up passing away. The story was originally called Fuck in reference to Brown's mother's hard stance against foul language.
The fact that his mother is schizophrenic is not made explicit in the book, but Brown talks about it in his cartoon essay My Mother was a Schizophrenic, in which he takes an anti-psychiatric stance. - Sky
- a buxom dark haired girl whom Chet falls in love with, but with whom he can't bring himself to admit he likes. She connects with Chet and tries to develop a relationship, but he is unable to deal with his feelings and turns her away.
- Connie
- a popular, pretty blonde girl who lives across the street from Chet's house.
- Carrie
- Connie's younger sister who transparently has a crush on Chet and "develops a possessive attitude toward him", but whom Chester repeatedly tries to put off.
