Hazel Tellington

We love to love her, even if she hates to love us back. Stubborn, cynical, and so very single, Haze is an up-and-coming writer who wishes a social life could be delivered to her doorstep.
First Appearance
Color Guide

Drink profile: Hazel's a traditional beer drinker, but will never turn down something pink with alcohol in it.

Jamie McJack

The cheery yin to Hazel's yang, Jamie's a bubbly hug on legs. She loves her job at the local flower shop and never turns down an opportunity to win free swag with the help of her boobs.
First Appearance
Color Guide

Drink profile: Jamie will add an umbrella and a piece of fruit to any drink handed to her. She loves her some fruity martinis!

McPedro

He's a Talking Irish Cactus, which says just about all you need to know about him. To our knowledge, McPedro only speaks to Hazel when she's drinking, and he loves his spider plant girlfriend.
First Appearance
Color Guide

Drink profile: Although Scirish (both Scottish and Irish), McPedro holds true to the stereotype of his mustache and sombrero, often downing a tequila.

Jameson

Jameson's a hot latte on a cold day. He runs the bar at the coffee shop below Hazel's apartment, Joe Shmoe. Sweet, level-headed and a little goofy, he's unintentionally a bit of a heartbreaker.
First Appearance
Color Guide

Drink profile: Jameson's not a big drinker, but LOVES anything that tastes like coffee.

Maureen

Maureen "The Blog Girl" is the lucky antisocial cutie who stole Jameson's heart on the Internet. <3 She's a little shy, but he thinks it's charming.
First Appearance
Color Guide


Drink profile: Maureen's no lush. In fact, she's more likely to buy herself a Shirley Temple. And remember, she's a vegetarian!

Clarice

Clarice is the wannabe librarian who denies her job as a clerk at the local porn store, Variety Books (and more!). But her weekend job is far more interesting.
First Appearance
Color Guide

Drink profile: Clarice enjoys classic novels and leather whips. Let's leave it at that.

Chris

Chris "The Pirate" met Hazel in the emergency room as he earned an eyepatch for a drinking accident, and hasn't really left her life since.
First Appearance
Color Guide

Drink profile: Chris will probably drink anything if it'll alleviate his social awkwardness. Stirrers and straws are a little iffy.

Candy

Candy "The Carnivore" is a friend of Jameson's who also met him on the Internet, and LOOOVES to taunt his vegetarian girlfriend.
First Appearance
Color Guide

Drink profile: Candy is a fan of all things meat and/or creepy. And she's proud of her full name, Candy D. Lish.

Zach

Zach is the cab driver of Hazel's dreams. He's caring, he's suave, he's approachable, and best of all, he's single.
First Appearance


Drink profile: He may be a sensitive sweetie toward Hazel, but Zach is a guy's guy who loves a good beer and working on car engines. Vroom, indeed.
