I found some full names:
Cassandra "Roast Beef" Kazenzakis
"Showbiz" Kazenzakis
Ray Smuckles
Cornelius Bear
And isn't Pat's last name Reynolds?
Charley (lil' Nephew) Smuckles
Téodor Orezscu
Molly Sanders
Peter (Nice Pete) H. Cropes
Lyle is without a last name as far as I can tell
Same for Philippe though it may be in the cookbook. I do remember him reminiscing of his past there.
Why does Ray wear a thong?
Because he's a fuck*ng comic strip character
Where is lyle?
Trapped in an all girl religious school.
Where's Mr Bear?
He got shot and is now writing closed captions for the Spice channel.
What's the Spice channel?
Google it.
How old is Philippe?
5.
Why does it revolve mostly around Ray and Roastbeef?
because they're the characters Onstad finds he can relate most to I assume.
Why does Téodor raise Philippe?
because he's five. Have you seen the shit 5 year-olds can get into?
So Roastbeef and Molly are Zombies?
yeah I guess you could call them that. Except they don't eat brains as far as I can tell and aren't decaying. But yes they are the living dead.
What's Pat's problem?
He is the character that stirs the pot for everyone else. They are good because he is evil. We can only all wish he was dead.
So the bear writes captions for porn and the Tiger stars in them?
not the same ones but yes.
So why do the stuffed animals hang out with the cats?
again, because it's a fuck*ng comic strip.
