The Characters
Barry Winovich
By '93, Barry settled down and was no longer squandering rent-money at reggae clubs. He morphed into a fairly-responsible and surprisingly fit father of 3.
Barry vs. ALS
Dealt a horrible hand, Barry parlayed years of cultivating friendships into remarkable outcomes. His passion for living and over-the-top mannerisms led me want to do more, in terms of making fun of him.
Jack Subel
Jack (aka, Jim) is immune to my jokes. He has been a constant in my life since 4th grade. He claims I make fun of him because I have low self-esteem. Subel enjoys Chip's Ahoy! cookies, smoked meats and napping.
Crapwagon Jack
One day at Wendy's, I had the amazing idea to re-imagine Jack as the proprietor of a fictional chili company. Subel hasn't come to terms with the public's affection for his buffoonish characters, which I find gratifying.
Treg Charlton
Prior to everything becoming a crap sandwich, I enjoyed family trips, cooking and organizing the garage. Fortunately, I didn't excel at anything requiring physical talent, so no regrets.
Treg vs. ALS
Retiring in 2013, I had some spare time on my hands. I did some good things, for sure. Far more often, however, I sit at the computer - crafting bizarre content for my own amusement.
What Do You Think?
"Treg made a couple decent wisecracks in class forty years ago. Does that warrant a website? I don't think so."
"I think people will find this funny in the same way hip surgery is funny. Anyway, I'm not responsible for any of this. I did the best I could. He's an adult."
"I'm getting used to the fact Treg can no longer speak. And if I put Copenhagen in his mouth, I find that he'll roll off to his computer and leave me alone for about an hour."
I think Treg is a once-in-a-generation talent who is largely misunderstood by his own generation, his children's generation and definitely the two preceding generations.
