List of Main Characters

• Gary Andrews: A successful attorney who wakes up one day to discover that he has transformed into an anthropomorphic rat. He develops a love for cheese, playing with pet toys, and rolling around in garbage as a result, but he maintains his human lack of patience for the people around him. Running gags involve him dreaming about dying in violent ways and frank phone calls with his mother. He lives in the high-rise apartment building "The Montana" and practices law at Harrison, Camille, Beckett, & Weiss.
• Johnny Bugz: An ineffective exterminator who will stop at nothing to kill Gary. He frequently either falls victim to his own traps or ends up harming/killing someone else.
• Boots: Johnny's cat and best friend. He only ever meows, but he is frequently seen standing on his hind legs like a human.
• Mr. Harrison: Gary's boss at Harrison, Camille, Beckett, & Weiss. He threatens to fire Gary several times, but never actually does so.
• Truman Pinksdale: The head of the "The Montana"'s building association who despises having to live with Gary as a neighbor; he has Johnny under his employ.
• Bud: A delivery boy who brings Gary cheeses from Ye Olde Cheese Shoppe; Gary often offers him money (usually $5) to basically kill himself.
