Davis
Married, father of two. He loves his family very much, but can’t help thinking about what might have been in his life. His views are reflected in the stories he tells his son, Ryan.
Ryan
Eight years old, wise beyond his years yet incredibly naive at the same time. He’s trying to understand the world around him, but his father’s explanations don’t always help. (Ryan is named after Tom Ryan, creator of the comic strip “Tumbleweeds.” A little joke in that the smallest character in the strip is named after the tallest cartoonist… possibly ever.)
Rooster
Oldest son and Ryan’s older brother. A happy-go-lucky sort, he could be doing anything at anytime. He enjoys being young and carefree which, of course, drives his dad nuts. Rooster is just a nickname, of course. His real name is Frederick.
Kat
Davis’ wife, mother to Rooster and Ryan. She loves her husband and fears for the day when Ryan will grow up and leave. She believes she has a green thumb but it’s not the brightest shade of green you’ve ever seen.
