Introduced in [http://wordwearycomic.blogspot.com/2011/03/blog-post.html issue 1], John is one of the comic's central characters, based primarily on the author and artist of the work. John is relaxed and easy-going with a self-deprecating sense of humor. He wishes for a girlfriend but is so overcome with anxiety at the thought of asking a woman out that he doesn't really bother.
