Characters from ''[[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]'' include:
Randy's own words on the subject: "Near the end of the first year. I realized quickly I didn't want this comic to be autobiography. Even when it started, Davan wasn't who I was then - he was who I'd been a few years before and, I should add, someone I didn't like (I find it funny when detractors claim Davan is who I think people should be and is "cool" - it proves they've never spoken to me or done a bit of research. Davan's an asshole and a lot of the misery he's gone through, he brought on himself)."
▲{{quote|The main character and [[Author Avatar]], representing Milholland when he was a younger man. Davan is snide, sarcastic and takes most of life with an uncaring, unsympathetic nature, which often gets him into trouble. Still, he cares deeply for his friends and family, despite his cynical nature.

* [[Author Avatar]]: From a time in Randy's life when he was especially cynical and dreary.
Line 22 ⟶ 23:
* [[Write What You Know]]: Davan used to work for MedicAid, doing the same work Randy did before his webcomic really took off- billing poor people for ambulance fees.
▲{{quote|A Canadian girl who moved down to Boston to meet up with some online friends, PeeJee is a devoted pal to the others. She's much like Aubrey, but far more emotional and liable to feel sympathy, or the need to cry. Randy has stated that she represents "those friends who aren't quite as tough as they seem". One of her key early traits was a huge crush on gay cast member Jhim. Despite the vitriolic nature of most of the characters, they openly felt sorry for her.}}
* [[Collector of the Strange]]: Her new hobby is looking for the most fucked up sites possible, having filled up four external hard drives worth of 'em.
Line 37:
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Or purple, or pink, or...
* [[
▲{{quote|Davan's best friend from childhood, and completely platonic. She's the devious schemer of the group, and rarely gets overly-sympathetic or mushy. She's based off of Randy's own best friend from childhood, anime voice actress Clarine Harp.}}
▲* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: She & PeeJee got away with this ''a lot''.
* [[Jerkass]]: One of the most malicious cast members.
* [[Like Brother and Sister]]: With Davan.
Line 48 ⟶ 47:
* [[Write Who You Know]]: Anime voiceover actress Clarine Harp, herself one of Randy's friends from childhood in Texas.
* [[Biggus Dickus]]: Women have retracted in fear from it.
Line 56 ⟶ 55:
* [[Write Who You Know]]: Jason is based off of one of Randy's friends from his acting days in Boston, who still runs part of his website.
* [[Action Survivor]]
Line 66 ⟶ 65:
* [[Rich Bitch]]
▲{{quote|Initially a recurring annoyance, the idiotic Monette would foolishly attempt to become a lesbian, despite her sucking "a whole mess of dick", according to Davan. Eventually, she randomly moved to Texas to hang out with Davan's parents, and ended up getting ''adopted'' by them, becoming a family member. She eventually became a ''real'' lesbian after hooking up with girlfriend Lisa, and moved to West Hollywood to appear in a bad UPN sitcom.}}
* [[Bi the Way]]
Line 74 ⟶ 72:
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]?: Infamously miscarried off-panel, leaving fans going nutty.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: The strip's biggest recurring example. He gets a ''lot'' of beatings.
Line 81 ⟶ 79:
* [[Nice Guy]] and [[Nice Guys Finish Last]]: Subverted heavily — a major point of Milholland's (and Davan's) is that a lot of supposed "Nice Guys" are actually self-involved, self-pitying jerks like Mike, who are actually quite selfish, and only after most girls because of their looks (something they hypocritically accuse the girls of doing with the "jerks" they go out with). And that said "Nice Guys" often pretend to be girls' friends just to potentially seduce them later, while pining over them like stalkers, none of which is "nice" behavior at all.
* [[Straw Loser]]
* [[Write Who You Know]]: Mike is an amalgamation of two people Randy
=== Jhim Midgett ===▼
* [[Out of Focus]]: He used to be one of the main cast, and now more than a year often goes by between appearances.
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: For Davan/PeeJee.
* [[
* [[Straight Man]]
* [[Write Who You Know]]: Based off of a real-life person of the same name, and a friend of Randy's.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]
Line 101 ⟶ 98:
* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]
* [[Bi the Way]]
Line 109 ⟶ 106:
* [[The Ingenue]]: Has shades of this.
