Cast of Characters

Gunther Grizzwell
Husband, father, slacker, ransacker. A real bear's bear with an appetite for just about anything that moves (though he rarely does himself). Gunther is the leader of the pack and spends most of his days tolerating his incessantly annoying sidekick, Pierpoint ... because finding another sidekick would be too much trouble.

Pierpoint
Gunther's annoying sidekick is a ball of confusion, a boatload of woes, a mass of paranoia, and a bowl chock-full of endless, mindless chatter. He's a naturally curious creature who doesn't seem to realize that he's constantly tempting fate with his ramblings.

Flora Grizzwell
The original mama grizzly, Flora is Gunther's loving, patient, understanding, caring wife ... and the one creature he fears!

Tucker Grizzwell
Not exactly fierce grizzly material yet, think of Tucker as an "intimidator-in-training." His idea of searching for game is finding the next big Superduper Nintendo. Tucker doesn't mind tramping through the landfill with his dad, as long as he doesn't get all yucky and gross.

Fauna Grizzwell
Fauna's like, you know, totally locked into pop culture and sick fashions and music and you know, stuff.

Warren
This self-possessed, self-absorbed, self-related, self-styled "ladies man" never met a girl he didn't like to talk to about himself. Warren is a fountain of not-too-helpful romantic advice for hapless Pierpoint.

Jasmine
The beautiful object of Pierpoint's wasted desire, Jasmine has never met a heart she didn't want to break. She secretly enjoys crushing Pierpoint's futile attempts at the fine art of flirtation.
