1.
JOHNNY
Johnny (or Nny, as he likes to be called) is one skinny twisted fuck. There is no two ways about it. He is really, really fucked up.
He lives in a shack (with the house number 777) and the basement has many many levels (descent into hell, get the symbolism???). The basement is where he keeps all his victims. There are many torture devices and things like that down there.
Nny was always kind of insane, but since he was so introverted, he was chosen for the job of a "flusher", to soak up all the bad vibes that roam around this earth. This only made him more insane and suicidal.
Usually, when people are insulted or hurt, they do something self-destructive. Johnny deals with it a little differently, he kills the people that piss him off. Sometimes, he kills people because he needs the blood to paint the wall that has evil behind it. It's a bit complicated to explain and ends up being a very long story, so just buy the comics and read about it yourself.
As I mentioned before, Johnny is insane. He hears voices. His manifestations include: Nailbunny, Mr. Eff and PsychoDoughboy. But that's another story...
2.
SQUEE
Squee's real name is Todd. He is known as Squee because whenever he is scared, he emits a sound that sounds like:"Squee...". This is what happened when Johnny asked him for his name the first time. That's a different story though...
Squee is Johnny's next door neighbor. Johnny often shows up to tramuatize him (even though he means well!), so Squee has some problems. The only dreams he has are nightmares, his parents hate him and the kids at school make fun of him. Everything good that happens to him is taken away.
He does have a friend though, his teddybear, Shmee. Who looks a little creepy and tells Squee things. You'd have to buy the comics to understand that a little more.
He enjoys writing weird little stories that cause the kids at school to shun him. The only kid at school that liked him, Andy, was brutally murdered by Nacho, the dog (it's a long story). There is one other kid that likes him though and that's Pepito (more about him later)...
3.
DEVI
Devi was introduced in JTHM #2. In the issue, she had a date with this guy that shit his pants while they were in a restaurant.
Later on in the issue, she went on a date with Johnny. Johnny really really liked her...and then he tried to kill her.
She kicked his ass really bad causing some head tramua to poor Nny. It's really unfortunate for Devi that all her dates turn out to be so awful. She's actually a really nice chick that likes movies and she's creative (she likes to paint) and she works at a bookstore.
The incident with Johnny made her go a little insane, so now she's pretty much a recluse in her apartment now. Too scared to go outside because she's frightened of Johnny. When the JTHM series ended, she was still in her apartment, but she spawned a new series, apparently. It's called I Feel Sick. I have yet to read it.
4.
PSYCHODOUGHBOY
PsychoDoughboy made his apperance in JTHM #1, before Mr. Eff. He's a styrofoam Pillsbury DoughBoy model that has the word 'FUCK' painted across his chest and these weird spiral eyes. He began as a manifestation in Johnny's head. Johnny's voice of doom and despair and constantly encouraged Johnny to end his life.
Later, it was found out that the house was controlling PsychoDoughboy (Mr. Eff too). But that's a long story...
PsychoDoughboy differs from Mr. Eff because he just simply wishes to stop being anything (that's why he wants Johnny to end his life).
MR. EFF
Mr. Eff, like PsychoDoughboy, is a styrofoam Pillsbury DoughBoy model. He appeared in JTHM #2. He's also known as 'Mr. Fuck'. His eyes are just blank voids and he has the infamous 'Z?' painted across his chest and an arrow pointing up on the back of his head.
He was another one of Johnny's manifestations, until, it was discovered that he too, was controlled by the house. He's Johnny's voice of happiness, I guess. If you want to get all symbolic. He encourages Johnny's insanity and wishes him to be more violent and kill more people. The reason he wished to keep Johnny alive was so that he could exist on his own.
5.
NAILBUNNY
NailBunny came to be around the same time PsychoDoughboy came, in JTHM #1. He's the voice of good, the voice of reason in Johnny's head. He encourages Johnny to keep living, but not in the same way that Mr. Eff did. NailBunny wants Johnny to get help, he wants Johnny to get better. He used to be just a rabbit nailed to the wall (the reason for that I'll explain in a minute), but in JTHM #3, Mr. Eff got pissed off at him and ripped his head off, so he became of floating rabbit head that followed Johnny around the house.
The origin of NailBunny was that Johnny bought him at a pet store, fed him once and then nailed him to the wall. Hence the name, NailBunny.
6.
HAPPY NOODLE BOY
Happy Noodle Boy is probably one of the most irritating and fucked up characters in JTHM series (if you can believe it).
He's not really a 'character' per se. He's the limit of Johnny's creativity now. You see, Happy Noodle Boy is a comic that Johnny created and writes whenever he has the time. Comic strips of Happy Noodle Boy pop up throughout issues of JTHM and Squee. He is, as his name suggests, a happy noodle boy. In the comic strips that Johnny writes, Happy Noodle Boy usually just yells at people incoherently. It's kind of hard to explain. There are never really any morals in any of the Happy Noodle Boy comics. In JTHM #4, I think it was, Johnny tells NailBunny that when he was younger, kids used to call him 'Noodle Boy' (because he's so skinny), so you begin to understand the motivation of it.
7.
PEPITO
Pepito is Squee's little friend. Squee doesn't like him much, because...you see, Pepito is quite scary (more about that later).
Pepito first made an appearance in JTHM #4 in the bookstore that Devi worked at, but not much was known about him. He later came to be an actual character in the Squee series.
The reason that Pepito is so scary is because his father is the Devil. His mother is in complete denial about the fact.
Pepito has powers, he can explode people's heads and float and things like that.
8.
TESS
Tess wasn't introduced to us until JTHM #3 when she and her boyfriend, Dillon were tasered and taken to Johnny's house by Johnny for talking during a movie (long story). You figured that she was just another superficial idiot that was going to die straight away and stuff like that.
But as it turns out, she actually was a good person. Merely, a victim of pop-culture. She was tortured by Johnny for a bit until JTHM #5. That whole issue was about her and this guy named Krik trying to outrun evil (another long story).
9.
FILLER BUNNY
Filler Bunny is a cute little bunny that was grown in a lab for a specific purpose...to fill up space. Gah. It's so idiotic.
He has some problems though, he holds in his pain and pending insanity just to be cute and dance for us.
This is what spawned the whole Filler Bunny series, Jhonen?!
10.
ANNE GWISH
Anne Gwish (anguish...get it???) was introduced to us in JTHM #5 because Johnny was currently...indisposed of (veryyyyy long story). She really has nothing to do with Johnny's world at all.
She's just a disgusting pseduo-goth chick. Disgusting because she makes fun of everybody that is not her and feels that she is so "unique". Does any of this sound kind of familiar to you???
11.
WOBBLY HEADED BOB
For some reason, nobody really likes Wobbly Headed Bob. I kind of like his take on reality. It's a little to "real" for my taste, but I still like it.
He doesn't really have anything to do with Johnny's story, he just kind of pops up randomly throughout JTHM and Squee! series. He's a really intelligent...what the fuck is he anyway? He's not human. Well, anyway, he doesn't really have any friends because he's smarter than everybody else and everybody is a doomed idiot. He goes around making people feel bad about themselves. He means well though. He simply wants to expose them to the truth, but they usually end up killing themselves. He's a bad influence without even meaning to be.
