If you are trying to keep track of all the characters running in and out of this autobio webcomic, it might be useful to start with this Family-Circus-esque map/timeline of some of the major people in Athena’s life. Or you could take a look at this cast portrait from Christmas 2009. Or this pizza party full of some of the people Athena went to college with.  There’s also a Frank Miller-esque drawing of the seven people Athena lived in a house with during the fall of her second year of college. And here are a lot of the people Athena hung out with during the fall of her third year at college (right before going to Berlin). And here is a drawing of the seven other students who were part of the Spring 2009 Hampshire-in-Berlin program.  But in case none of that suffices, here’s a rundown of a few of the major players:

 

ATHENA CURRIER is the creator of this fine webcomic. This means she gets to appear in more comics than anyone else.

PHOEBE CURRIER is Athena’s younger sister, by 19 months. She is awesome.

SARAH + ROSS CURRIER are Athena and Phoebe’s parents. As far as parents go, they’re pretty all right.
