Fessy Monroser
Fessy Monroser will complain to anybody about anything. At all. In fact, he will also complain to anything about anybody. I once saw him tell a fire hydrant that Emperor Charlemagne was too short and not nearly alive enough for his tastes. And, of course, when the fire hydrant tried to reason with him, he just started yelling to passers-by that fire hydrants are sexist. By the way, he may attempt to muddy the waters of social discourse with irrational irrelevancies. But then, I suppose that's to be expected . . .

The Morose Tale of Peter Henderson
From the very first day it first touched his tongue for the very first time, Peter Henderson has adored the taste of booze. Any booze. At all. It's just about his favourite thing, second only to the wondrous sensation of losing yourself alongside sobriety as the alcohol systematically takes over your entire being. How terrifically sad, then, that Peter is really only a giant head, with no sort of system of organs or anything to process alcohol. And that his arms are so teeny, he can't really get a bottle near his lips. Thus is he consigned to a purgatory of sombre sobriety.
Also, he ugly.
Also, he ugly.

Ike Punt: Unpleasant Furniture Manufacturer
Please don't misunderstand. It's not the furniture. The furniture's fine. Hell, it's gorgeous. To die for, as the kids say. And he makes everything. Chairs, couches, tables, end-tables, stools, lamps, even lanterns! Also sofas and chesterfields, not to mention benches and sideboards and bookshelves; plus knick-knack display chests, decorative step-ladders, entertainment centres, and love-seats! He personally inspects all the wood procurement, and demands naught but the very finest animal-hide substitutions. In his hand, mere furniture becomes art - Nay - exceeds art, smashing through the glass ceiling of art to blossom into some new, fabulous hybrid of personal architecture and aesthetic glory!
It's just that he himself is a bit of a twat.

What it Really all Boils Down to.
Unlike most people, Marvin doesn't have a little angel and devil living on his shoulders. Rather, he's got The Planet Lenny telling him filthy gossip about people he's never met; and then on the other side is Darin Millstrop, who yells convincingly at him about things that really aren't his fault. And if you think about it, that's all any of us really have. Because angels and devils aren't particularly real.
