Characters

Collin is a long-time neighborhood fixture who balances his role as a local resident with the management of the eclectic Van Land business.

Nathan Billings is a local legend and the powerhouse behind the Shegrinnies franchise, a man whose name carries significant weight and a distinct sense of decorum throughout the community.

Lilly is a central figure at Van Land, where she serves as a whimsical guide for the themed van fleet while keeping a watchful eye on her father's erratic behavior from their Sky Palace apartment.

Known for his local infamy, Mayor McDaddy is widely viewed as an opportunist who seized power after his predecessor was buried in a landslide.

Mom is currently away from home, having taken a trip with her 'new friend,' Uncle Scott.

Uncle Scott is the kind of relative who brings a unique, slightly surreal energy to the family dynamic. As The Crazy Eyed Father's brother, he has managed to secure a special spot in the household, even earning a spot as Mom’s 'new friend.' While the kids are clearly devoted to him, their admiration is rooted in a bit of family mythology: they believe Uncle Scott possesses such kind eyes that staring into them for too long will actually turn a person into an angel.

The Crazy Eyed Father balances well-meaning effort with comedic failure as he navigates parenting duties like hauling mysterious snacks from the Night Market and attempting to tutor his children in math.

A little kid shows off some serious negotiating skills at Yeast Meets West, eventually trading a handful of gold rocks for the entire bakery.

A musical fixture of the local bakery.

Tommy Fingers is identified as one of the writers for The Party Islander, an ad-heavy newspaper for Party Island.
