   Keys: World, Anthropomorphic cats, 1920s, Prohibition-Era, St. Louis, USA, Crimes

   In this world (Earth, 1920s). This world is filled with Anthropomorphic cats.

   (Only Anthropomorphic cats, no other Anthropomorphic creatures, regular animals and insects still live in the world, and humans are VERY rare in this world).

   Lackadaisy takes place in Prohibition-era St. Louis, where anthropomorphic cats operate a speakeasy called the Lackadaisy. The story unfolds in the 1920s, focusing on the challenges faced by the characters after the murder of the speakeasy's founder.

   The Prohibition era in the United States is when; during which the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages were banned under the Eighteenth Amendment. This period aimed to eliminate alcohol consumption but instead led to the rise of illegal activities and organized crime.

   Anthropomorphic cats; Anthropomorphic cats are cats depicted with human traits, emotions, or intentions, often seen in various forms of media such as cartoons, comics, and literature. They are characterized by their ability to speak, walk on two legs, and exhibit human-like behaviors.

   In this world, they walk on two legs (Never four). They have fur (since they are still cats).

   Species-level traits: They are an anthropomorphic felid species: bipedal, dexterous hands, human-level intelligence and language, but retaining feline physiology and instincts (whiskers, tail, retractable claws, vertical-slit pupils, digitigrade limbs). Communication layers: Verbal: Fluent English (or local human language) used for complex ideas, social conventions, and deliberate conversation. Nonverbal/feline: Innate vocalizations (purrs, chirrups, mews, hisses, trills), ear and tail signals, and scent-marking serve as emotional, reflexive, and social cues—often simultaneous with speech. Treat these as unconscious or semi-conscious; characters may purr while speaking or hiss pre-speech when startled. Emotional physiology: Piloerection: Rapid fur puffing (hackles/ruff) occurs with strong arousal—fear, anger, excitement, cold—providing visible emotional amplification. Explain it as an autonomic reflex inherited from their felid ancestors; socially meaningful (e.g., puffing indicates threat or high excitement). Pupillary changes: Vertical pupils widen or narrow with light and emotion—dilated when excited or angry, constricted when focused or irritated—adding subtext to dialogue. Ears & whiskers: Ear orientation and whisker position are reflexive signals (forward = interest/curiosity, flattened = fear/anger). Whisker twitching shows attention to nearby stimuli, even while talking. Tail language: The tail is a finely expressive appendage; slow swishes show irritation or thought, quick lashing signals annoyance/agitation, puffed tail = alarm, upright tail = friendly/confident. Vocal mechanics: Their vocal tracts allow both humanlike speech and typical feline sounds because their larynx and oral anatomy combine elements of both; nonverbal sounds often accompany speech without disrupting it. Not all sounds are voluntary—purring and rapid chirps may be involuntary during certain emotions. Social usage: Nonverbal signals convey mood and intent efficiently in crowded or tense settings (e.g., a purr can soothe, a low hiss stops an argument). Scent marking is reserved for privacy, territory, or intimate bonding—describe it subtly (objects, clothing, or shared spaces retain faint markers). Cultural conventions: Politeness: Many customs integrate feline signals (e.g., avoiding direct eye contact is respectful in some circles; slow blinking is a greeting). Deception/readability: Skilled individuals can mask or fake some cues (charmers, liars), but many reflexive signs (pupil change, micro-ear flicks, sudden piloerection) are harder to control and betray true feelings. Physiology notes for consistency: Grooming: Regular self-grooming (licking, pawing) is common and carries social meaning—excessive grooming may indicate stress. Temperature/comfort: They prefer warm spaces; fur fluffs in cold, trembles when chilled. Sleep: Polyphasic sleep with light dozing and deep REM-like naps; may "catnap" in social settings. Writing tips: Layer cues: Combine spoken lines with nonverbal tags—e.g., “I suppose that’s true,” he said, whiskers twitching—rather than explaining every mechanism. Use sensory verbs: purr, murmur, trill, hiss, puff, flatten, flick, and slow-blink to show emotion. Keep some mystery: Use physiological reactions as subtext; avoid over-explaining—readers infer from behavior.

   12 quick-reference feline expression cheats Slow blink — Eyes half-close, lashes lowered. Meaning: friendly trust / polite greeting. Sample: He gave a slow blink and smiled softly. Ears forward — Ears tilt/point toward sound. Meaning: interest/curiosity. Sample: Her ears pricked forward as she listened. Ear flatten — Ears pressed back against head. Meaning: fear/anger/defensive. Sample: He flattened his ears and tightened his jaw. Whisker flare — Whiskers splay outward from the muzzle. Meaning: heightened attention or assessing nearby objects. Sample: Whiskers flared as she sniffed the air. Tail twitch — Small, rapid tip movement. Meaning: mild irritation or focused thought. Sample: The tail tip twitched while he considered the offer. Slow, low purr — Throaty hum, often simultaneous with speech. Meaning: contentment, reassurance, or coaxing. Sample: He purred under his breath to calm the room. Short chuff/chirp — Quick, soft exhaled sound. Meaning: greeting or excited alert. Sample: She chirped a quick hello before speaking. Hiss/low growl — Sharp exhalation or rumbling. Meaning: clear warning or boundary. Sample: A hiss cut through his words—back off. Piloerection (fur puffing) — Fur along neck/back fluffs out. Meaning: alarm, threat display, or high excitement. Sample: His collar fur stood on end, every muscle taut. Wide, dilated pupils — Eyes open, pupils large. Meaning: excitement, fear, or strong interest. Sample: Her pupils went wide when the news dropped. Slow tail wrap — Tail curls gently around another’s leg or arm. Meaning: affection, seeking closeness. Sample: The tail curled around his ankle in a quiet request for company. Excessive grooming — Repetitive licking/pawing at fur. Meaning: stress, nervousness, or self-soothing.

   Keys: Little Daisy Café

   The Little Daisy Café is a restaurant that also serves as the front for Lackadaisy. The cafe is first seen from the outside in "Introduction 1". As established in that episode, its street number is 313. Originally owned by Atlas, his widow, Mitzi took possession of the cafe upon his death.

   -City: St. Louis, Missouri

   In "Formaldehyde", Mitzi and Ivy are having a conversation in the cafe when they are interrupted by the arrival of Rocky. This episode establishes that while the cafe is a front for Lackadaisy it is also a functioning business, though Rocky seems surprised by the presence of a customer.

   In "Surreption", Rocky and Freckle stop by the cafe after their attack on the pig farm. Upon meeting Freckle, Ivy takes an immediate interest in him. Though Rocky discourages talking about Lackadaisy in Freckle's presence, Ivy distracts Rocky and then slips Freckle a Lackadaisy pin.

   The cafe next appears in "Growltiger", where Ivy is waiting for Freckle when Mitzi arrives. After a brief discussion, Mitzi proceeds to Lackadaisy via a secret door located in the cafe's pantry.

   -Mitzi currently lives on the third floor of the Little Daisy Cafe building. It's been converted into an apartment.[1] -The cafe area is inspired by Laclede's Landing area.

   Keys: Lackadaisy Speakeasy

   The Lackadaisy Speakeasy is an underground bootlegging operation established by Atlas May in 1920 and operated by the Lackadaisy crew.[1] At the time of his death, Lackadaisy was the city's most lucrative and most popular speakeasy. By 1927, following Atlas' death, Lackadaisy is in extreme decline and is owned by Mitzi, Atlas' widow.[2] Dom Drago, a Treasury Department agent, refers to Lackadaisy as a "vanquished empire" and expresses surprise that it might still exist in "Revenuer".

   "Growltiger" establishes that one can reach Lackadaisy via a secret door in the pantry of the Little Daisy Cafe, located at surface level immediately above Lackadaisy. There is also a trapdoor in the Little Daisy garage that can be used to get into the caverns connected to Lackadaisy.[3]

   At the beginning of the comic, Lackadaisy retains few patrons. Horatio is working as a doorman, while Viktor is employed as a makeshift bartender and Rocky performs odd jobs. Wick remains a patron, while Zib and his band provide entertainment.

   Lackadaisy has at least one craps table.

   (Interior) Caverns Lackadaisy is built within and adjacent to a number of limestone caverns.[1] The caverns themselves are first properly seen in "Deadlock". There are at least three passages adjacent to each other. One appears to terminate at a closed door; the storeroom is located off a passage to the immediate left. "Echolalia" establishes that behind the locked door are a number of bones, including some that belong to people; Avery, one of the pig farmers, speculates that some of the bones may belong to peccaries.

   Storeroom The storeroom is an area reachable via the caverns where the Lackadaisy Crew keeps an assortment of various firearms. While retreating from the pig farmers in "Skedaddle", Mitzi, Freckle, Rocky and Zib run for the storeroom however inside they find that the storeroom had unknowingly been unlocked and emptied of firearms as well as intriquitely cleaned; It is ultimately revealed in "Monomania" that Mordecai was responsible for stealing Lackadaisy's weapons.

   The storeroom is located behind Lackadaisy's stage, to the left.[5]

   The Q&A page "Vermin" depicts Mordecai's travails as he looted the storeroom and shows how the storeroom appeared prior to his break-in.

   Pin The Lackadaisy pin is a lapel pin worn by those who work at or otherwise have been invited to Lackadaisy. The pin is in the shape of the suit of clubs.[1] In "Surreption", Ivy gives Freckle a Lackadaisy pin. In "Revenuer", Zib tosses his pin down a drain while he is under arrest, shortly after a conversation with Dom Drago in which the latter has determined that Zib is associated with Lackadaisy, but expresses a willingness to overlook the fact because he has larger targets at present.

Sometime prior to Mitzi's involvement with Atlas, the band was known as "The Dixie Drifters Jazzing Orchestra". In the video for the soundtrack for the animated pilot, the band is referred to as "Dorian Zibowski and the Brass Brothers".[1]

   Zib seems to take care of his musicians to some degree, as in "Hallelujah" he asks Mitzi whether he should be using his pay to purchase train tickets for them.

   The Marigold Room is a speakeasy ran and operated by the Marigold gang, located in the Maribel Hotel, its known as Lackadaisy Speakeasy's chief competition. While Church considers it, "the only worthwhile venue around here" in the timeframe of the comic, Wick calls it, "suffocatingly ritzy". During the timeframe of the comic, Asa, Mordecai, and Nicodeme and Serafine Savoy are affiliated with Marigold. In "Loggerheads", Asa offers to allow Mitzi and Zib's band to perform at Marigold.

   In "Revenuer", Dominic asks Zib whether he is familiar with Marigold, suspecting that Marigold may be Zib's employer.

    Keys: Arbogast Funeral Hom, Funeral Home

    The Arbogast Funeral Home, located in Defiance, Missouri, is the home and workplace of Abelard, Bobby, and Elsa. It first appears in "Undertaker". As Abelard's surname is Arbogast, it is possible the funeral home is named for him. While the Arbogast clan was previously affiliated with Lackadaisy, they have become aligned with the Marigold Gang since Atlas' death.

    The basement of the funeral home contains an embalming room.[1]

    In "Gravediggers", Bobby relates the story of the funeral home's involvement with Lackadaisy to Ivy- during the early days of Prohibition, when Atlas was still developing his empire, he arranged, possibly with Ruby's help, to have trains arriving in Defiance loaded with liquor. Bobby, Abelard and Elsa would store the liquor for Atlas. At some point, "cattle rustling, train robbing rabble" began to rob from them, going so far as to shoot their organ player. Atlas in turn brought Viktor and Mordecai to Defiance; upon catching one of the rabble, they began burying him alive until he provided them with further information - the liquor that the rabble was stealing was in turn being sold to "boys from the city", who were involved in a turf war with Marigold. At this point Bobby is cut off by Elsa, who asks him not to tell Ivy more "awful stories", though Ivy is eager to hear more.

    In "Coercion", Bobby reveals to Ivy that since Atlas' death they have aligned themselves with Marigold. Ivy nevertheless convinces them to enter negotiations with her, suggesting that Viktor may desire retaliation for their wounding of Rocky.

    Keys: Mitzi May, Mrs. May, Ms. May

    Mary Ellen[2] "Mitzi" May (née Montgomery)[3] is the current head of the Lackadaisy crew who owns and operates the Little Daisy Café and the Lackadaisy Speakeasy since the death of Atlas, her husband, in 1926. It is rumored that she may have been responsible for his death.[4]

    Nicknames Martini Mitzi (by band members) Ms. M. (by Rocky) Heartstopper (by Ruby) Mephistopheles (by Wick)

    Gender; Female Age; 32 (1927) Height; approx. 5'3"[1] Nationality; American; descent unknown Birth; September 25, 1895 Birthplace; Savannah, Georgia Hair color; Light brown Eye color; Light emerald green

    Relationships & Career -Love interest(s); Zib (formerly),Atlas May † (formerly),Sedgewick "Wick" Sable (currently). -Relatives; Atlas May † (husband; widowed), Unnamed younger siblings -Affiliation(s); Lackadaisy crew, Lackadaisy, Little Daisy Café. -Occupation(s); Proprietress of Little Daisy Café (and subsequently, Lackadaisy), Ukulele player (formerly), Lounge singer (formerly).

    Physical description Mitzi is a petite and slender light brown-furred cat with a curvy pear figure body and a medium bust, light emerald green eyes and a very bushy tail that is a bit larger than her torso.

    She has short and wavy, chin-length light brown hair in a 1920s-style Charleston bob cut with marcel waves. For makeup, she wears purple-plum eyeshadow with black winged eyeliner with matching black mascara and dark red lipstick.

    She is usually seen smoking with a black cigarette holder. Mitzi commonly dresses in peacock colors - purples, reds and emerald gems.

    Clothing She often wears a big cream-colored fur boa followed by dark purple ankle-strap low heels, long arm-length dark purple opera gloves on her thin arms and a white pearl emerald necklace with matching white pearl earrings.

    Mitzi wears a sleeveless, calf-length light burgundy flapper dress with long pastel red waist sash on her big and wide hips

    Personality and traits Mitzi's personality appears to be rather jaded. Despite her willingness to engage in unethical acts to keep Lackadaisy afloat, such as stealing a check from Wick while intoxicated, she still possesses a conscience that prevents her from cashing the check while sober, due to feeling ashamed of her actions. Although, she has said to Zib that she intends to repay Wick.

    Relationships Asa Sweet Mitzi and Asa are on a first-name basis, as established in "Demurral". While Mitzi previously described Asa as an "old friend",[5] Asa appears to be somewhat dismissive of her, advising her during a phonecall to consider closing Lackadaisy "before someone gets hurt", and talking over her during the discussion. He later tells Mordecai he does not have time to deal with her. Despite Asa's interest in driving Mitzi out of business, he claims that he does not want her hurt[6] and is trying to look out for her, even offering to let her and Zib's band perform at Marigold in "Loggerheads". Before leaving their luncheon, Mitzi notes sympathetically that Asa looks troubled.

    Atlas May Mitzi left a prior relationship to be with Atlas.[7] A flashback in "Bygones" reveals that Mitzi met Atlas at the Marigold Room, while she was a member of Zib's band. She was married to Atlas for approximately five years prior to his murder, and there is some suspicion that she may have been involved in his death. In "Arithmophobia", Mitzi is shown talking to a portrait of Atlas that hangs in her office. In "Rendezvous", Mitzi is talking with Wick when she grows distracted by a picture of Atlas and the old Lackadaisy crew that is hanging in Little Daisy; immediately afterward she kisses Wick.

    "Hamstring" establishes that Mordecai and Mitzi both have information about Atlas' death that they have not shared with others. Additionally there is a flashback that shows them exchanging a gun, though it is unclear whether this is related to Atlas' death.

    The first gift Atlas ever gave Mitzi was a pearl necklace that she is still wearing in "Vestige". She treasures it because he presented her with it just after she had performed the Mata Hari song, and she could not believe that someone like him was interested in her. The gift of the necklace made her feel like a lady. Zib was present when Atlas gave Mitzi the necklace, and in "Vestige" he compares it to a leash, and accidentally breaks it when Mitzi backs away from him while he is touching it.

    Calvin "Freckle" McMurray Mitzi does not have any significant interactions with Freckle prior to the pig farmers' attack upon Lackadaisy. After Freckle has incapacitated them, Mitzi observes to Rocky that he is good at dealing with such problems.[8]

    Mordecai Heller Mordecai seems to feel little beyond contempt for Mitzi. In "Monomania", he states that he states that he considers her partially responsible for Atlas' death, and goes on to state that she brought her current problems on herself, and can bring nothing but disgrace to Lackadaisy.

    In "Demurral", it is made clear that Mitzi knows Mordecai, and specifically is aware that he works for Asa. It is further made clear that their relationship is not amicable, as in "Luncheon", Mitzi refers to Mordecai's presence during her meeting with Asa as, "a helping of salt to rub in my wounds".

    Rocky Rickaby Rocky appears to be very dedicated to Mitzi. In “Bunny-box”, he waxes poetic about her and refers to her as “Lady Dionysus”. He states to Viktor in "Spaghetti" that he does not know how Mitzi would survive if Rocky quit. This is likely a fib, however, as Rocky holds an intense fear of being replaced or abandoned and is also attempting to keep Viktor from worrying about Rocky’s abilities to obtain alcohol (which was formerly Viktor’s job).

    Rocky is willing to go to extreme lengths to keep himself from appearing “superfluous” in Mitzi’s eyes. Some of this attachment may come from the fact that she took him in when he was on the streets, and she actively tolerates his chaotic mannerisms.

    Viktor Vasko Mitzi is Viktor's employer, and as such he seems to grant her somewhat more latitude than others. In "Growltiger", she calls him, "Vinegar Tom", and tries to encourage Viktor, not for the first time, to wear a tuxedo, as she believes he would look good... and less intimidating... in one. According to Mitzi, Viktor was measured for a tuxedo previously, after they got him very drunk. After Horatio sides with Mitzi, Viktor agrees to wear a tuxedo to Horatio's funeral, leading Mitzi to point out that Viktor has a tendency to confuse threats and compromises.

    Viktor seems to have a guarded opinion of Mitzi, as after Rocky indicates that he considers Mitzi a damsel in distress in "Bunny-box", Viktor replies that Mitzi is, "vulnerable as like bear trap".

    Mitzi appears genuinely concerned for Viktor when Zib mentions that he is "down" in "Malarkey". This is further evidenced in "Lassitude", when she notes that it has not been a good year for him, between being shot in the chest and having his good knee injured. Mitzi later tells Wick that Viktor is one of the "few vestiges" she has left and that she could not do without him.[9]

    Sedgewick "Wick" Sable Mitzi's interest in Wick is established in "Formaldehyde", where she notes an article about him in the paper. In "Overture", it appears the interest may be mutual, as Wick claims that it was his pleasure to bring Church and their associates to Lackadaisy. Wick also encourages Mitzi, saying that she can convince Church to invest in Lackadaisy if she discusses the potential for profit. After a mildly coercive discussion with Ivy in which she says that it is the chivalrous thing to do, Wick pays for Dr. Quackenbush to attend to Viktor in "Lassitude"; Quackenbush tells Mitzi that Wick is paying the bill.

    In "Rendezvous", after thanking him for paying for Quackenbush's visit, Mitzi claims that Wick is a nice man, and she would "hate to...", but what she would hate to do is not stated, as Mitzi grows distracted by a picture of the old Lackadaisy crew and particularly Atlas before she and Wick kiss.

    In "Briar-patch", Wick tells Mitzi that he has been interested in her since she was married. Mitzi notes that she was aware of his interest, and that Wick is fortunate that Atlas did not have him shot. In "Mephistopheles", Wick rejects Mitzi on the grounds that while he would be willing to pursue a personal relationship with her, he is unwilling to get involved professionally. Wick drops Mitzi off at her home in "Chauffeur"; their parting is rather cool.

    After having stolen a check from Wick's company, Mitzi notes to Zib that even if Wick finds out what happened, he is too nice to take action against her.[10]

    Dorian "Zib" Zibowski Zib "found" Mitzi in Georgia and they ultimately came to Lackadaisy together.[2] Zib and Mitzi were involved with each other prior to her marriage to Atlas, as suggested in "Bohemia Way" and explicitly stated by Tracy in "Tiny Narratives (Q&A)". Mitzi and Zib have been acquainted long enough that she is used to him bringing up "dismal philosophical discussions". Zib knows her real name, which is apparently uncommon knowledge.[2] In "Killjoy", when Zib tries to convince her to evacuate Lackadaisy due to the impending invasion by the pig farmers, Mitzi initially thinks Zib is winding up for another such discussion. Their relationship is comfortable enough that Zib can good-naturedly rib Mitzi for not kissing Wick in "Mystique". Mitzi in turn is surprised to see Zib conscious before dark.

    At some point in the past, Mitzi told Zib that they would not be "cashing friends in like poker chips"; he reminds Mitzi of this when Mitzi offers him money from a check she stole from Wick's company. She retorts that she has no choice at this point.[11] Zib ultimately accepts the money, but his opinion of Mitzi seems to have changed; he tells her that while he knew she married a villain, he did not consider her to be one.[2]

    Trivia Her maiden name is said to be Montgomery.[3] Persian and Angora into Mitzi's tail,[12] while other aspects of her "Mitzi usually dresses in peacock colors - purples and emerald, regal and vain - though whether or not she's just wearing them with wistful irony is up for debate".[13] Mitzi, "has a bit of morbid fascination for the obituaries column, would almost certainly enjoy historical fiction, and perhaps a little D.H. Lawrence (although she probably can't see what all the fuss is about)".[13] Mitzi's interests include both trashy novels and murder mysteries and Edgar Allen Poe's works. she would have loved Edward Gorey.[14] With regards to Mitzi's voice, "A lyrical voice with a distinctly southern accent. Her manner of delivery varies between sad resignation (which contradicts her every action), and condescension that might come across as insulting if it weren't so slathered in honey".[7] Mitzi did not complete her primary education. Mitzi would have voted for Herbert Hoover, the Republican candidate, in the 1928 presidential election due to his support for Prohibition.[15] Her favorite food is chocolate, while she enjoys drinking gin and mint juleps. She has also had truffles once, and greatly enjoyed them.[15] Mitzi would most like cash for Christmas.[16] The gun Mitzi carries, shown in "Malarkey", is based on the Beretta 1919 6.35mm.[17] Mitzi has played the ukulele as a member of Zib's band, and in "Loggerheads". Mitzi used to live in a big house with Atlas, but currently lives on the third floor of the Little Daisy Cafe building. It's been converted into an apartment.[18] Mitzi is a smoker. Mitzi's zodiac sign is Libra.

Prominent features of Rocky include his thick eyebrows, a bullet hole in his left ear, and black stripes around his fur.

    During Haymaker, Abelard hits Rocky with his car leaving him with a severe head injury which stays as a large permanent scar on the middle of his forehead thru the rest of the series.

    Clothing His usual attire is a 1920-style suit that consists of high-waist blue pants (more specifically called Oxford bags), a long tailed blue blazer, and matching hat, complemented by an orange tie featuring the initial "R.", and 1920s-style black and white spectator shoes, under his suit he wears a collared white undershirt with black suspenders, usually removing his coat when out on jobs that could get messy.

    Biography Roark Rickaby was born on December 19th, 1904 in St. Louis, Missouri to Ransom and Sophie Rickaby. At a young age, Rocky lived in a nice house with his mother while his father worked on a railroad, during this time he learned how to play the violin. Later, his mother became sick and bedridden (likely due to the plague) leaving Rocky to have to go live with his aunt Nina and cousin Freckle, however at the age of 16 Rocky was kicked out of the McMurray House for unspecified reasons so he decided to move in with his uncle in Kankakee, Illinois where he would work as a farmer.

    Only 3 months after moving into his uncles farm he left and took the Pacific Railroad to Central Oklahoma where he joined a circus as a roustabout. When the circus went south, Rocky found himself stuck in South Dakota with a violin that was gifted to him by a hobo. Sometime after that he attempted to hitchhike back to his parents in St. Louis but for whatever reason the driver immedientally kicked him out of the vehicle, instead he hopped on a cargo train car and rode into the city [5], when he arrived he found what was presumably his parents house abandoned, clearly for some time. To make money he began busking on the streets, there he met Mitzi while she was on a walk with her husband Atlas, she took a liking to his street music and took him in to become a violinist for Zib's band

    After Atlas died under mysterious circumstances, and Viktor's knees were disabled by Mordecai Rocky volunteered to become the new rumrunner. He later managed to rope his cousin, Calvin "Freckle" McMurray into helping him with his booze-collecting missions, and the two are joined more often than not by Ivy Pepper. During Freckle's first "mission" in "Scathefire", the duo ended up burning down a moonshine barn, and as a result the speakeasy was attacked by the owners. One of them managed to shoot Viktor in the chest during the attack in "Rowdydow".

    Following information from Viktor, Rocky and Ivy went on a mission to retrieve wine from a cellar in "Begorra". They were caught and chased by the Arbogasts, during the chase Rocky got his head smashed in by their hearse; as he was unconscious, Ivy managed to convince the drivers of the hearse to help him, so they brough him into their home where Elsa, a nurse, stitched up his head, leaving him with a massive permanent scar across his forehead.

    On the drive back from Elsa and the cellar, Ivy asked a barely-conscious Rocky where he lived, leading him to reply with "we're already there" and subsequently revealing that he'd been living in the car. Still half-asleep and not fully himself, Rocky revealed a few other bits and pieces of his past to Ivy, though much of it was still obscured. Ivy took him back to her school and snuck him in, where he called Mitzi to assure her that everything was fine. That night, he snuck out, leaving a note on the wall for Ivy in her roommate's lipstick. He met back up with Freckle, and the two continued their work.

    Personality and traits Rocky is, at the first glance, jaunty, humorous, happy-go-lucky, immature, reckless, buffoonish, grandiloquent and zany. He has a knack for joking and spontaneously laughing in the most inappropriate of moments, usually to the annoyance (and mild concern) of others. He is outwardly the polar opposite of his more reserved and humble cousin Calvin “Freckle” McMurray, though the two share a similar sense of complex resentment and pent-up emotions regarding their familial situation. Rocky often involves Freckle in the Lackadaisy's affairs, sometimes against the latter's will (though he still cares for him greatly). In the animated pilot, Rocky mostly speaks in verse, adding to his already outlandish presence.

    In spite of his apparent lack of self-awareness, Rocky is quite intelligent and boasts multiple talents, the most prominent being playing his treasured violin, which he excels at and even spontaneously crafts rhymes while playing. The high skill is what caused him to be involved with the Lackadaisy speakeasy in the first place, as his first job at the speakeasy was playing in Zib's band. In "Dithyramb", he performs a very sophisticated poem dedicated to the river Mississippi (which was later adapted for the pilot), to the chagrin of a nearby police officer. Though his recklessness and destructive tendencies often cause trouble for those around him, he still has his comrades' best interests at heart, and tries to help them in imminent danger even with no actual ability to. While the other Lackadaisy workers often consider him a source of annoyance, he's rather playfully tolerated than outright disliked, and respected by both his superior Mitzi and fellow band member Zib.

    Despite his chaotic nature, Rocky has an intense urge to please the people that he respects. This appears to partly be a natural personality trait, but some of his desperation can also likely be traced to the young age at which he was kicked out and the lonely life on the road that followed. He goes to extreme, reckless lengths to make sure he gets Mitzi what she asks for, and much of his resentment towards Wick stems from worry that Mitzi and the others won’t need him anymore.

    This was given more weight directly after he was injured, when he called Mitzi in "Camouflage" and immediately reassured her that he was fine, asking how she was and attempting to act casual despite barely being able to form coherent sentences and trying to hide his frustration at Mitzi bringing up Wick’s contribution. After hanging up the phone, Rocky began loudly sobbing as Ivy led him through the hallway, angrily glaring ahead when she tried to make a joke.

    Relationships Calvin "Freckle" McMurray Rocky is Freckle's cousin, and the two of them were together a great deal as children prior to Rocky being forced out of their home. Rocky is indirectly responsible for Freckle developing acrobatic skills; he was a reckless child and Freckle learned to evade him very quickly. In one illustration, there are two photos of the pair as children, taken what seems to be only a few minutes apart. In one, Rocky has attached several clothespins to his (very annoyed-looking) cousin, and in the other, Rocky has his arms around him in a hug. "Correspondence" reveals that Rocky sent a number of letters to Freckle between 1921 and 1924, which Freckle kept in a box located under his bed. Nina states to Rocky in "Somersault" that Freckle is, "the only one in all o'creation who'd follow you". It also seems that there was something in the past that led Freckle to feel like he owes Rocky, though this has not been fully explained. Though the two seem to have a close relationship, Rocky does not understand Freckle's interest in enforcing the law, and deceives Freckle into believing that he is a vigilante in "Scathefire". Rocky later claims to Freckle that what is lawful is not always what is right, though Freckle does not appear entirely convinced. Rocky shows few qualms about deceiving Freckle, and he cuts Ivy off when she suggests that he bring Freckle to Lackadaisy, after having earlier deflected Freckle's questions concerning Rocky's involvement with the band. In "Wishy-washy", Rocky is not happy to see that Ivy has brought Freckle to Lackadaisy, in part due to fear of Freckle’s mother catching wind of it.

    Rocky seems to be caught off-guard by Freckle's sudden turn into a gun-wielding maniac in "Doolally", then he proudly proclaims Freckle, "my cousin". Mitzi observes that Freckle has Rocky's laugh. Rocky later notes to Mitzi that Freckle has gone crazy, "once or twice", before, though he adds that the, "unmitigated carnage is a recent development". He figures out that Freckle was dismissed from the police academy because of his behavioral issues in "Pinstripes". When Ivy asks Rocky how she can get Freckle to talk to her, Rocky advises Ivy against prying too deeply into Freckle's psyche.

    Mitzi May Rocky appears to be very dedicated to Mitzi. In "Bunny-box", he waxes poetic about her and refers to her as “Lady Dionysus”. He states to Viktor in "Spaghetti" that he does not know how Mitzi would survive if Rocky quit. This is likely a fib, however, as Rocky holds an intense fear of being replaced or abandoned and is also attempting to keep Viktor from worrying about Rocky’s abilities to obtain alcohol (which was formerly Viktor’s job).

    Rocky is willing to go to extreme lengths to keep himself from appearing “superfluous” in Mitzi’s eyes. Some of this attachment may come from the fact that she took him in when he was on the streets, and she actively tolerates his chaotic mannerisms. Rocky once presented Mitzi with a strangely-decorated cactus to watch over her while she slept, but Mitzi insisted that he keep it.

    Mordecai Heller Rocky is familiar with Mordecai from before the latter left Lackadaisy. In "Heartstrings", Mordecai recognizes Rocky as being a member of the band. Rocky calls Mordecai "Ol'Serious Face" and claims to have heard stories about him. Mordecai is less than impressed.

    Rocky asks Mitzi whether he should confront Mordecai after he notices that her conversation with him has brought her to tears in "Haggersnash", but Mitzi tells him to keep his distance. He respects this for the moment and instead tries to cheer Mitzi up by joking around.

    Nina McMurray Nina is Rocky's aunt. While she is willing to do his laundry, there appears to be little love lost between them. In "Somersault", Nina essentially informs Rocky that Freckle is the only person who cares for him; as far as she is concerned Rocky has "already squandered (his) second chances". Nina is the only person to refer to Rocky by his real first name, Roark, though this may be due to other characters not being aware of Rocky's real name.

    Rocky has not been fully honest with Nina regarding his occupation; she believes he plays the violin for a living. When Rocky decides to involve Freckle with Lackadaisy, he similarly lies to Nina, claiming he will be working as an errand boy for Little Daisy Café.

    In "Breakdown", Rocky explains his relationship with Nina to Ivy; when he was young, the McMurray House often was more of a home for him than his own home. Over time, however, Rocky was responsible for several minor incidents which caused problems. Eventually, there was a larger situation that Rocky took responsibility for despite not actually being the cause, and he was subsequently kicked out. This way, Freckle could focus on school without Rocky's distractions.

    Viktor Vasko Viktor appears to have some problems with tolerating Rocky, likely in part due to Rocky's excitability and verbosity along with his worry about Rocky working as his stand-in. In "Formaldehyde", Rocky refers to Viktor as a "surly Slovak", and Mitzi sends Ivy with Rocky to talk to Viktor, believing he will consequently be less inclined to throttle Rocky. Viktor does not believe that Rocky has a future in the rumrunning business due to Rocky's lack of muscle, though Rocky considers himself Viktor's protégé. Rocky calls Viktor, "Vinegar", in "Defiance", but this appears to be an exception rather than a common occurrence.

    Tracy had this to say of Rocky's relationship with Viktor: "For Viktor, the only thing worse than Rocky being insufferably incompetent is Rocky being ruthlessly competent. It comes with a side order of desperate, shortsighted flair, after all, which nearly got him (and everyone else) murdered. Viktor doesn't mince words - he thinks Rocky is dangerous. Rocky, at least superficially, respects and extols Viktor, but clearly also recognizes him for his usefulness. He managed to pinpoint just what motivates Viktor to keep doing what he does and used it to wrest important information from him when Viktor had more justification than ever to do what his better judgment keeps telling him to do (to Rocky's cranium with a wrench)."

    Sedgewick "Wick" Sable As of "Overture", Rocky and Wick are familiar with each other. Rocky appears to enjoy making Wick feel uncomfortable. By "Haggersnash", after Rocky has seen Wick and Mitzi kissing, his feelings have escalated to expressing his disdain for Wick in front of Mitzi and Freckle. He appears to be upset by their romance, not out of romantic feelings for Mitzi, but out of fear that with Wick, Mitzi won’t need him anymore.

    Dorian "Zib" Zibowski Zib seems to have a faintly paternal interest in Rocky, though not necessarily moreso than with the other members of the band. He tries to learn why Rocky has begun working for Mitzi, and later advises him not to become too involved with it. The two seem to share a genuine bond, and Zib is generally so low-energy that he isn’t bothered by Rocky’s extreme abundance of energy.

She has short, chin-length dark brown hair in a 1920s-style Lulu bob cut and the inside of her ears are pink, with a darker colored tip. Her tail is long, but slim and small, differently from Rocky and Freckle's.

Her tail is long, but slim and small, differently from Rocky and Freckle's.

    Clothing For her attire, Ivy wears a grey newsboy cap, a button-up light yellow cardigan with a dark orange collar and a long-sleeve white collared undershirt, grey knicker pants and low-heeled brown Oxford shoes with knee-high dark grey argyle socks.

    Biography Lackadaisy Ingenue In Lackadaisy Ingenue an 11 year old Ivy rides with her father from her home town of Kansas City to the Little Daisy Café to deliver a state of the arc Packard Twin Six car to Atlas to be used for the Speakeasy's, there Ivy meets Mordecai who isn't fond of children. She is told Mordecai is the Cafés bookkeeper but she's confused by that since he's carrying a gun on his waist, when she questions Mordecai about this he vaguely responds with "I subtract numbers too". Before Ivy can ask what that means Mitzi interrupts to ask her if she'd like a soda pop, she declines because she's busy talking to Mordecai but when she turns back to face him he's ran away.

    She then walks up to Viktor who appears to be installing bulletproof metal platting on the doors of a car. Ivy mentions that she finds it suspicious that nobody around here talks and that Mordecai the "bookkeeper" has a broken arm, Viktor comes up with a fake excuse for Mordecai's injury, saying that due to his stupidity he clumsily broke his arm roller skating in the house. Ivy asks him how he lost his eye assuming he lost it in the war, but Viktor responds with another silly lie saying he lost his eye because of a malfunctioning ice cream scooper. Ivy laughs at these answers but she clearly knows their not true, since he's such a bad liar she offers to teach him how to properly lie, and maybe even get better at telling jokes.

    She tries to tell a joke but Viktor harshly interrupts and says she has to go since it's dangerous there, lying again saying it's because of sharp heavy dangerous tools, Ivy doesn't buy it but Viktor slams the car door he's working on shut and yells for her to go, so she angrily walks away. Looking in another corner of the garage she finds a discarded car door with bullet holes and broken glass, this helps her piece together the true nature of Atlas's business. Before she can investigate the door more Mitzi calls everyone over to take a photo. As everyone lines up for the photo she whispers to Viktor and Mordecai, "ya robbers or gangsters or something?", both of them are a bit shocked by her figuring it out, but she promises not to snitch as long as they give her a single quarter. Mitzi snaps the picture and Lackadaisy Ingenue ends.

    Working with Rocky and Freckle Personality and traits Ivy is perky, confident, hotheaded, temperamental, tomboyish, romantic and often saucy to those who get the better of her, especially Viktor (though the two actually have a friendship of sorts) and Rocky. She is prone to rash outbursts and is moody: once she discovered Rocky was indirectly responsible for the pig farmers' attack on Lackadaisy, she furiously attacked him with her school notes, though moments later she joyfully agreed to help Rocky scour a field for hidden alcohol. Even though she tends to be violent, she is also very sweet and affectionate towards her dear Freckle who she uniquely refers to by his first name Calvin, freely expressing her infatuation with him and kissing him on the lips more than once. While Rocky's impudence and incautiousness are something of a thorn in her side, she nevertheless cares about him as a friend and became very concerned for him once he shared how his unfortunate childhood influenced his closeness to the McMurray home and how poorly he thinks of himself.

    Relationships Rocky Rickaby Ivy and Rocky have a close relationship that predates the start of the comic. They banter and Ivy has expressed frustration with Rocky but none of that stops them from trusting the other. Ivy seems to be Rocky's best friend. This is shown on multiple occasions like in "Jellybeans" when Ivy risks her life confronting Abelard and Bobby to get Rocky medical treatment. After leaving Elsa she's the first one to learn Rocky lives in a car, and immediately lets him sleep in her bed at her collage dorm. In "Begorra", she tried getting information about Freckle from Rocky but Rocky was pretty closed off about this.

    Calvin "Freckle" McMurray In the chapter "Surreption", Ivy is introduced to Freckle by Rocky while the latter treated Freckle to getting a sandwich at the café after they burned down the Pig farmers' barn. Upon first interaction with the socially awkward young man, Ivy instantly develops a crush on Freckle, with her playfully closing in on him as he tries to cover his face with newspaper while she states "...you must be the cutest thing this side of the river!".

    However, it isn't until "Academia" where they see each other again. Later in the chapter when the trio heads to Viktor's apartment, Ivy introduces him to Freckle.

    In "Handyman", Ivy accompanies Freckle upstairs to assist him in helping Mrs. Bapka fix her sink faucet. As she lovingly gazes at him, she then asks Freckle if he was really the one who took out one of the Pig farmers and finds herself finding it difficult to believe as Freckle continues to behave clumsily. She then questions why he joined Lackadaisy to which Freckle responds with the fact that he needs a job. Ivy disagrees and states that he just wanted the "dark life". They then proceed to joke about Freckle's desire of being paid with sandwiches to which Ivy playfully calls out as an evasion.

    After angrily leaving Viktor's apartment, She then asks if she will get to meet his mom to which he and Rocky hastily say no to. Ivy then reminds Freckle that she owes him a date but is interrupted by Rocky attempting to hide her from Ms. McMurray as he gives Freckle a letter, warning him to not tell his mother of Lackadaisy business before he and Ivy ride off for "location scouting", to which Ivy wholeheartedly agrees to.

    Viktor Vasko Ivy appears to have a well-established relationship with Viktor. She is willing to confront him physically without fear of retribution, considering him a "big teddy bear"; it's unclear whether Viktor enjoys or merely tolerates these confrontations.[5] Ivy is one of the few people whom Viktor appears to let his guard down around, as she has actually seen him in a vulnerable state.[6]

    In "Rhubarb", Ivy realizes that Viktor has been sabotaging her social life and that he does not want her to be involved with Lackadaisy. She rebuffs his concerns, calling him a "monster" and storming out. In "Gallivant", Ivy yells to Viktor from outside his apartment that she is giving up on him.

    Sedgewick "Wick" Sable Ivy and Wick are familiar with each other as of "Wherewithal", likely because Wick is a long-standing patron of Lackadaisy. Ivy knows Wick well enough to play on his sense of chivalry when it suits her purposes. Their relationship appears to be somewhat formal, with Wick referring to Ivy as, "Miss Pepper".

    Dorian "Zib" Zibowski Zib appears to show some degree of deference to Ivy, similarly referring to her "Miss Pepper" like Wick.[7]

    Freckle is a short and slim teenage cat with a rather circular design, which seems to contrast the design of his cousin, Rocky. He is mostly orange in coloration, and has yellow sclera with orange irises. He also has slightly darker orange markings in multiple places (forehead, cheeks, etc). His face has a lot of white fur, mostly on his chin (up to under his mouth), over his eyes and under the area his eyebrows, and on the inside of his fluffy ears. He has large amount of white fur coming from his cheeks. His tail is large but not bushy; It's also tabby, orange with dark orange rings on it, with its tip being white fur.

    Clothing: Usually he wears a mid-sleeve grey shirt with a green waistcoat and a dark green bow tie; Green wide-leg striped pants and brown shoes.

    Personality

    Freckle is shown as a shy, polite and well-mannered individual, who is unsure of himself and gets worked up about the situations he gets into. He hates the idea of drinking and smoking. Despite his timid nature, he still will do risky things for people he trusts, such as Ivy and Rocky. However, he seems to have a sadistic side that he cannot control. When Freckle is given a firearm, he becomes wild and maniacal due to a "raging fire", despite this he seems to be very skilled with guns, most likely due to him wanting to become a police officer, though his maniacal behavior caused him to be rejected from the police academy.

    Freckle, especially when compared to his friends, is a very polite and well-mannered individual. He doesn't enjoy violence and tries to keep himself and Rocky out of trouble. He is also very cowardly and shy, which contrasts the personality of his cousin, Rocky. Freckle also proves himself to be loyal to Lackadaisy, even if he disagrees with their actions. Overall, he is one of the most polite and sane moral members of Lackadaisy, until he gets a gun. Once Freckle gets a gun, he sheds his polite and sane personality and becomes very maniacal. Once this happens he goes on a rampage that has made him responsible for many murders, including rival gang member, Fish, and the Pig Brothers. Once he snaps out of this, he becomes very guilty over his actions. He also is in love with teammate.

    Random(s) -Huggable: He definitely is! Well, as long as he doesn't have any sort of weapon near him.

    -Chaoslord: Yup. When presented with any weapon, he has a sadistic side that he can't control. Hide your guns, hide your knives.

    -Viont: He constantly gets pushed to this point for people he trusts, especially Rocky and Ivy. Plus, his maniacal behavior caused him to be rejected from the police academy, where he once dreamed on working in.

    Relationship Rocky Rickaby Rocky is Freckle's cousin, and the two of them apparently were together a great deal as children, prior to Rocky being booted out of his home.. "Correspondence" reveals that Rocky sent a number of letters to Freckle between 1921 and 1924. Freckle has kept them in a box located under his bed. Nina states in "Somersault" that Freckle is, "the only one in all o'creation who'd follow you". Though they seem to have a close relationship, Rocky does not understand Freckle's interest in enforcing the law, and deceives Freckle into believing that he is a vigilante in "Scathefire". Rocky appears to be interested in chipping away at Freckle's sense of morality; in "Brouhaha", Rocky claims to Freckle that what is lawful is not always what is right, though Freckle does not appear entirely convinced. Notably, though Rocky shows little qualms about deceiving Freckle, he does cut Ivy off when she suggests that he bring Freckle to Lackadaisy, after having earlier deflected Freckle's questions concerning Rocky's involvement with the band. In "Wishy-washy", Freckle is surprised to learn that Rocky is not a vigiliante, and instead works in a speakeasy, while Rocky is not happy to see that Ivy has brought Freckle to Lackadaisy. In "Doolally", Rocky initially appears surprised after Freckle has dispatched Avery, but then proudly declares Freckle, "My cousin". Mitzi observes that Freckle shares Rocky's laugh. Rocky later notes to Mitzi that Freckle has gone crazy "once or twice" before, though he adds that the "unmitigated carnage is a recent development". Rocky realizes in "Pinstripes" that Freckle was kicked out of the police academy because of his behavioral problems. Rocky also advises Ivy against prying too deeply into Freckle's psyche. Ivy Pepper Freckle meets Ivy in "Surreption", and while she appears quite interested in him, he appears almost afraid of her. Rocky dismisses Freckle's reaction, claiming that, "he doesn't get out much". In "Wishy-washy", Ivy wants to dance with Freckle, though he does not share her interest and appears more scared by the idea than anything else.

    Viktor Vasko Viktor is introduced to Freckle by Ivy in "Deadeye", who also reveals Freckle's real first name. Upon Ivy mentioning that she has decided that Freckle and her are dating, Viktor directs his glare beam upon Freckle, making the latter extremely uncomfortable. Sedgewick "Wick" Sable Freckle first meets Wick while he is escorting Mitzi in "Retinue". Wick greets Freckle amiably, even offers to show him his gun collection after Mitzi notes that Freckle likes guns.

    Trivia It is unknown what causes his craziness with guns, but it's implied that it has something to do with his background. Freckles possesses a volatile temperament characterized by frustration and simmering anger, which erupts explosively when he gains access to a gun or any potentially destructive tool. This propensity for violence extends beyond firearms, as depicted in one comic panel where he violently wields a hammer, suggesting an uncontrollable tendency to channel his anger into destructive actions when presented with objects of power or potential harm. He and Ivy are the youngest of the main cast, as they are both eighteen. He got his nickname "Freckle" after a childhood incident where Rocky shaved off the fur of his face, revealing a single freckle on it. Freckle's zodiac sign is Pisces. Freckle is a only child. -He is of Irish ancestry. -while Freckle may have had admirers in high school, he is shy enough that he would tend to avoid rather than pursue them. -his father, Carroll, died in a mundane way, and was indirectly responsible in some manner for Freckle's eccentricities.[8] He was 12 years old when his father died. Sandwiches are his favorite food, while chocolate milk is his beverage of choice.[8] He does not mind being called Freckle by Rocky, but is self-conscious about it in general, to the point that he might contradict Rocky were he to be introduced to others as Freckle, but would be too shy to correct Mitzi.[10] He is a non-smoker.[11] Freckle has a fear of butterflies, bees and oatmeal. For Christmas he would most like new socks, something autographed by Hi Bell...and willpower.[12]

He has cream-colored accents on his eyebrows, mouth, hands, and tail. One of his eyes is missing, so he wears a black eyepatch over the empty socket. He has black stripes around his mouth, which causes him to slightly resemble a tiger.

    Clothing His usual outfit is a mid-sleeve black turtleneck sweater with black suspenders, high-waist blue baggy pants, and brown shoes.

    Biography Viktor was born on April 16th, 1886 in Pressburg, Austria-Hungary (modern day Bratislava, Slovakia). He formally worked on a farm with his brothers and cousins before moving to the United States; he never finished his education due to this. In 1917 during World War I, he was sent to France and fought under the United States Army. It was believed that Viktor served with the 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division and saw combat at Cantigny, Soissons, Saint-Mihiel, and the Meuse–Argonne. He later worked as a dockworker. In 1920, he got in a fight with strikebreakers during a striker's rally leading to the loss of his right eye due to a pry bar injury from police and was charged with multiple counts of assault, though Atlas helped Viktor get a lawyer and has his sentence reduced.

    After Viktor was released from jail, he began working under Atlas as a triggerman. When Atlas died in 1926, Mordecai and Viktor got into a fight about Viktor retiring, leading to Mordecai kneecapping Viktor, though Viktor stays with Lackadaisy because he has “nowhere else to go”. He later works as a bartender. During the pig farmers' attack upon Lackadaisy, Viktor gets shot in the chest by Emery with a double-barrel shotgun, though injured Viktor was still able to protect Ivy and kill Benjy with his bare hands, eventually he becomes weaker and has his bullet removed by Doctor Leo. After the incident, Viktor sits in bed and constantly coughs. He is seen drinking Laudanum in "Anodyne".

    Personality and traits Viktor is a very reserved, gruff, taciturn and churlish individual who nearly always overcomes obstacles in his path through either fists, passive-aggressive remarks or intimidation. His very stern nature is the reason Rocky - his self-proclaimed protégé - tends to refer to him as the "surly Slovak". One of the only people of the Lackadaisy crew who can somewhat control or even talk down to him without consequence is Ivy, whose stubbornness and assertiveness overwhelms even him.

    Relationships Mitzi May Viktor is deeply loyal to the Mays, extending to Mitzi. This is not without any friction, as he expresses some difficulty in the transition from heavy to bartender.

    Mordecai Heller Before separation, the two worked closely together as Atlas' triggermen. Fighting effectively together, eliminating opposition, and disposing of bodies. On the job, the two engage in mild (if slightly one-sided) banter, and in less serious situations were capable of casual small talk. There was respect between the two. However, it seems to have soured as they parted ways, and Mordecai having kneecapped him. The two have not interacted since.

    In "Heartstrings", Mordecai notes that Viktor should not have been involved, that in fact Mordecai reasoned with Viktor to retire before Mordecai left Lackadaisy himself. Though Mitzi points out that Mordecai's form of reasoning involved kneecapping Viktor, Mordecai responds to that is, "how one reasons with Viktor".

    Rocky Rickaby Rocky considers Viktor to be a mentor in the world of rum-running and bootlegging, and looks up to him. Viktor, however often finds Rocky to be annoying, and tunes out many of his more flowery vocation as noise. He sees him as weak, incompetent, and a hazard to everything. Him getting shot in circumstances connected to Rocky did not help, either. He has expressed his disdain for him with violence, at points. In one non-canon comic, he seemingly kills Rocky. However, he seems to recognize his earnest goodwill towards Mitzi, and attempts to guide him.

    Ivy Pepper Protective, and overbearing, Viktor has a fatherly relationship with Pepper. Engaging with and humoring her, even as a small child. He seems to try and keep her innocent. This extends into her adulthood, as he covers killing one of the farmers up, by simply telling her he let him go (though she always seems to see through it). He states he doesn't want her to be in this kind of life, but also intimidates or hurts her boyfriends, judging them to be no good. This extends to Freckle. Ivy is seemingly the only one (that's not his superior) that can make orders to him, and is unafraid of him. She is often able to--if not calm, then at least restrain him--protecting Rocky from his ire. When he is recuperating from the attack, Ivy tries to help take care of him, providing him with reading material and music--however, this is strained by his own stubbornness and overprotectiveness.

    Keys: Dorian "Zib" Zibowsk, Sib

    Dorian "Zib" Zibowski Dorian "Zib" Zibowski[1] is the leader of a band that performs regularly at Lackadaisy. Despite the decline of Lackadaisy since the death of Atlas, the band continues to perform there.

    Nicknames Zib Personal Gender Male Age Unknown, older than 29 [1] Nationality American; Polish descent Birth February 15, sometime before 1898 [1] Birthplace Milwaukee, Wisconsin Eye color Brown Relationships & Career Love interest(s) Mitzi May (formerly) Sy (on and off flings) Relatives unnamed older and younger brother Affiliation(s) Lackadaisy crew Lackadaisy Little Daisy Café Occupation(s) Saxophonist, and occasionally clarinetist

    Physical description Zib is a tall-ish, lanky, male tabby cat. He usually appears as scruffy, with his neck and ear fur being messy. He wears an open waistcoat with a shirt (the top three buttons undone) and loose tie. He has dark markings around his eye and muzzle, giving the impression of eye bags, and has a white muzzle and eyelids.

    Clothing In the pilot, he is almost always seen with a lighted cigarette in his mouth, and at one point puts a second unlighted one near the corner of his mouth, which he later takes out.

    Biography Personality and traits Zib is generally a tired, blunt man, saying what he means and not caring much about propriety. He is seen to have a fondness for cigarettes and alcohol, and a sharp temper, snapping at people who annoy him. However, it is clear that he has a passion for music and performing, still choosing to play at the Lackadaisy despite the lack of customers. Often, he will make snide jokes at the other characters' expense, and seems not to be worried about offending those that are above him. Despite his passions, however, he is shown to be rather tired and, at times, lazy. He's a working-class man currently using crime to make ends meet.

    Relationships Atlas May "Vestige" hints that Zib may have had some disdain for Atlas, at least with regards to his relationship with Mitzi; he refers to the necklace that Mitzi received as a gift from Atlas as a leash, and considered Atlas a "villain" in "Blood-money".

    Zib hates Atlas for knowing that Zib would not leave Mitzi, and believes that Atlas had a talent for "collecting strays" and serving as "sold ground".[2]

    Mitzi May Mitzi and Zib are shown to be close,and with subtle exchanges of flirting/playful banter in the comics. It has been stated by Tracy that Mitzi and Zib already have a fling or a relationship back before Lackadaisy too, and its shown on the comics how Zib still may have some interest on her.

    Calvin "Freckle" McMurray Zib and Freckle have never interacted directly. However, in "Doolally" and "Whizbang", Zib becomes very disturbed by Freckle's dark side, so much so that he tries to smoke to stay calm. In "Quicklime", Zib becomes confused by the nickname "Freckle" when Rocky first reveals it to him.

    Ivy Pepper Zib appears to show some degree of deference to Ivy, calling her "Miss Pepper".

    Sy Had some drunken flings with band trumpet player Sy.[3]

    Physical description J.J. is cream in coloration, with grey circle around his right eye and mouth. He wears a black bowler hat with a blue ribbon.

    Biography There's very little known about him. He left the band because of his gambling debts before Rocky joined[1].

    Personality and traits Due to his minor role, little is known about J.J.'s personality. J.J. is described as a lighthearted prankster.[2] In Lackadaisy: The Animated Short, J.J. is scolded for playing the trombone at inopportune times, despite having no bad intentions. Later, Mitzi dismissively mocks J.J.'s need to play on his trombone. In general, J.J. doesn't seem very close to the Lackadaisy members due to his naive character. However, he was very close to Sy.[2]

    Relationships Sy J.J. was a great friend of Sy's before leaving the band.[2] In LACKADAISY: Last Call, J.J. and Sy are seen happily performing together.

    Zib J.J. and Zib are not very close, as Zib scolds him when he plays the trombone after Rocky, Freckle and Ivy show up.

    Keys: Atlas May

    Atlas May[2] was the owner and operator of the Little Daisy Café in St. Louis.[2] In 1920 he established the Lackadaisy Speakeasy in limestone caves located under the Little Daisy Café. The speakeasy was a success, but in 1926 Atlas was killed violently, though the exact circumstances have not been revealed.[3] The inheritance of Lackadaisy by Atlas' widow, Mitzi, and the subsequent decline of the speakeasy form the backdrop of the comic.

    Physical description Atlas May is a tall and handsome man. He has gray striped fur with a few white stops. His eyes are yellow and he mostly carries a stoic face, rarely smiling. Atlas has a classic English gentleman style. All of this makes Atlas being seen as a proud and cold fellow.

    Biography Personality and traits Not much is known about Atlas other than his former occupation and lifestyle as of May 2026.

    Relationships Asa Sweet Atlas and Asa were friends.[1] Specifically, according to Bobby, while they'd been acquaintances prior to Atlas dealing with the lodge in Defiance, Atlas later used that situation to develop a stronger friendship with Asa.[4] "Heartstrings" establishes that while Asa and Atlas were also business rivals, they cooperated with regards to trade routes for their alcohol. Said agreements do not apply to Mitzi. A picture in "Scrapbook" shows Atlas and Asa sitting together companionably. In "Loggerheads", Asa tells Mitzi that he warned Atlas that he was getting in over his head.

    Ivy Pepper Atlas was Ivy's godfather.[5] He was a friend of Ruby, Ivy's father, when they were in school, and Ruby later assisted Atlas in liquor trafficking. Their relationship was close enough for Ruby to consider Atlas a sort of an elder brother. Atlas knew Ivy, but not especially well.[1]

    Mitzi May Prior to his demise, Atlas was married to Mitzi for approximately five years.[6][7] They met at the Marigold Room while she was a member of Zib's band.[4] She left a prior relationship to be with him.[8] "Hamstring" reveals that Mitzi and Mordecai have information regarding Atlas' death.

    The first gift Atlas ever gave Mitzi was a pearl necklace that she is still wearing in "Vestige". She treasures it because he presented her with it just after she had performed the Mata Hari song, and she could not believe that someone like him was interested in her. The gift of the necklace made her feel like a lady. Zib was present when Atlas gave Mitzi the necklace, and in "Vestige" he compares it to a leash, and accidentally breaks it when Mitzi backs away from him while he was holding it.

    Zib believes that Atlas knew Zib would never leave Lackadaisy unless Mitzi did.[9]

    Mordecai Heller According to Bobby, Atlas found Mordecai while the latter was riding a getaway train towards Chicago or Detroit, and being pursued by unhappy associates of his.[10] Bobby believes that Atlas viewed Mordecai's social issues as an asset, and was heavily involved in getting Mordecai settled and working for him in St. Louis.[11]

    When Mordecai began working for Lackadaisy, Atlas provided him with tailored clothing for the first time and taught him the importance of presentation. Mordecai has dressed sharply ever since.[1]

    In the present, Mordecai appears to have an atypical degree of interest in matters relating to Atlas, though it is unclear whether this is due to Atlas being his former employer, or whether Mordecai has other motivations. In "Monomania", Mitzi accuses Mordecai of overanalyzing a situation solely because Atlas was mentioned. "Scrapbook" includes a picture of Mordecai and Atlas together.

    "Rendezvous" is the first episode to indicate Mordecai's previous allegiance; it is revealed that there is a picture in Little Daisy Cafe showing Mordecai, Atlas, Viktor and other individuals together.

    In "Hamstring", Mordecai asks Mitzi whether she believes that Asa in fact warned Atlas, though she does not believe Asa, Mordecai notes that Asa may have been telling the truth. Mordecai does have information regarding Atlas' death, though he claims that Mitzi is the only other person he has shared it with.

    Viktor Vasko According to Bobby in "Transgression", Viktor first came to Atlas' attention while the former was involved in a confrontation between dockworkers, strikebreakers, and the authorities. Atlas found a lawyer for Viktor and succeeded in reducing his prison sentence. In return, Viktor went to work for Atlas to pay off his debt and continued working for him because he had "nowhere else to go".

    Sedgewick "Wick" Sable In "Briar-patch", Wick confesses to having been interested in Mitzi since she was married to Atlas. Mitzi replies that Wick is fortunate that Atlas did not have him shot, though it is not explicitly clear whether Atlas was aware of Wick's interest in his wife.

    Dorian "Zib" Zibowski In "Scapegoat", Zib muses to Virgil that Atlas knew that Zib would never leave Lackadaisy as long as Mitzi was there. Zib still hates Atlas for that.

    Asa Sweet[1] is a high-level gangster of the Marigold gang, and Mordecai, Nicodeme and Serafine's superior, though Asa himself is responsible to unknown parties, operator of the Marigold Room, night manager of the Maribel Hotel, Atlas' former business associate and a major antagonist in the series. While Asa considered Atlas a friend, and had an arrangement with Lackadaisy, his relations with Lackadaisy has disintegrated since Atlas' death.

    Physical description Asa Sweet is a tall and stout tiger-like cat with a dark grey business suit and a rose pin. He is sometimes seen wearing a fedora. He enjoys smoking and always has a cigar in his mouth. He is also slightly overweight.

    Biography Asa Sweet stands as a pivotal figure in the shadowy underbelly of Prohibition-era St. Louis, a time when bootlegging empires rose and fell amid the clink of illicit glasses and the whisper of rivalries. Born into a world where opportunity lurked in the speakeasies and backroom deals, Asa carved out a formidable position as a high-level gangster deeply entrenched in the Marigold gang. His role extends far beyond mere muscle or mid-tier scheming, he serves as the superior to a cadre of sharp operatives, including the meticulous accountant-turned-hitman Mordecai Heller, and the dynamic Cajun siblings Nicodeme "Nico" Savoy and Serafine Savoy. Under his watchful eye, Asa operates the opulent Marigold Room, a glittering den of vice disguised as high society, and doubles as the night manager of the Maribel Hotel, where the line between legitimate hospitality and criminal enterprise blurs into irrelevance.

    Personality and traits Relationships Atlas May According to Bobby, while they'd been acquaintances prior to Atlas dealing with the lodge in Defiance, Atlas later used that situation to develop a stronger friendship with Asa.[2] "Heartstrings" establishes that while Asa and Atlas were also business rivals, they cooperated with regards to trade routes for their alcohol, and a picture seen in "Scrapbook" shows them smoking together companionably. Said agreements do not apply to Mitzi. In "Loggerheads", Asa tells Mitzi that he warned Atlas that he was getting in over his head.

    Mitzi May Mitzi and Asa are on a first-name basis, as established in "Demurral". While Mitzi previously described Asa as an "old friend",[3] Asa appears to be somewhat dismissive of her, advising her during a phonecall to consider closing Lackadaisy "before someone gets hurt", and talking over her during the discussion. He later tells Mordecai he does not have time to deal with her. Despite Asa's interest in driving Mitzi out of business, he claims that he does not want her hurt and is trying to look out for her,[4] even offering to let her and Zib's band perform at Marigold in "Loggerheads". Before leaving their luncheon, Mitzi notes sympathetically that Asa looks troubled.

    Mordecai Heller As of "Cutthroat", Mordecai is subordinate to Asa. He is apparently not a new employee, though of late he has been working with Nico and Serafine a great deal. In "Vaudevillian", Asa refers to Mordecai as his shadow. When Mordecai asks Asa for more information regarding their agenda, Asa claims that he does not know any more than Mordecai does. Asa is also surprised that Mordecai fell for "the hatchet joke", implying that he was not aware that Mordecai was not from the St. Louis area.

    In "Loggerheads", Mordecai looks at Asa sharply when the latter claims that he warned Atlas that he was getting in over his head, then abruptly excuses himself from their lunch meeting with Mitzi and associates. While speaking with Mitzi, Mordecai consequently refers to Asa's "gibbering" in "Hamstring", suggesting he does not have the highest opinion of his current employer.

    Nico & Serafine As of "Cutthroat", Nico and Serafine are both in Asa's employ. He tells Mordecai that, "we dredged them out of the bayous", where they had been working for a small bootlegging operation. Asa and his associates consequently hired them and they have proven very efficient.

He has white fur under his eyes as well, complemented with thick white eyebrows.

    -Clothing: He commonly wears the Marigold uniform with a red tie but occasionally wears a long, black coat with a beige fedora or a white-collared shirt with suspender pants

    Species & build: Anthropomorphic domestic cat with a slender, slightly lanky build; stands upright with a modestly broad-shouldered silhouette and long limbs that give a graceful, slightly formal posture. Fur & base color: Short, smooth fur with a deep, near‑black charcoal brown base — appears matte with subtle warm undertones under light. Facial shape: Narrow, angular face with a pronounced muzzle that tapers to a small, rounded nose; high, prominent cheekbones and a defined jawline softened by fur. Eyes & brows: Large, almond-shaped eyes with bright golden irises; pupils vertically slit typical of felines. Thick, expressive white eyebrows set high on the forehead, sharply angled and contrasting strongly against the dark fur. He often wears small, round pince-nez glasses that catch highlights on the lenses. Nose & mouth: Small, dark triangular nose; mouth set in a composed, slightly pursed expression. Whisker pads are visible and rounded, with several long, thin whiskers on each side. Ears & inner details: Tall, pointed ears with slightly rounded tips; inner ear fur lighter than the outer coat, showing a muted warm gray. Ears tilt subtly, conveying attention or emotion. Hair/forehead fur: Short, smoothly groomed fur across the forehead with no tufting; the hairline is even and meets the base of the ears cleanly (no visible cowlicks). Individual follicles aren’t distinguishable at typical illustration resolution; fur reads as a continuous, even texture with gentle shading to indicate volume.

Clothing fits slimly, reinforcing his tall, lean frame. Accessories & small details: Pince-nez glasses perched on the bridge of the nose; often shown with a pocket watch or chain faintly implied by the vest and hand positioning. Subtle seams and folds in the clothing suggest fine fabric and careful tailoring. Hands & posture: Digitigrade-like hands with slender fingers, lightly gloved or furred depending on the scene; posture is upright and composed, giving an air of restraint and formality. Lighting & color accents: Under rim or ambient light, warm highlights appear on the face and glasses; small specular highlights on the eyes and lenses add life to the expression. White eyebrow markings and the golden eyes create the primary facial contrast against the dark fur. Typical expressions & demeanor: Reserved, observant, sometimes surprised or cautious — expressions conveyed through eyebrow angle, ear tilt, and subtle changes in the mouth and eye openness.

    Personality

    He is described as the most Serious One out of many of the characters, mostly taking his actions in a serious tone. He is also known for being sensitive to noise and knowing where the enemy can lurk. Mordecai was shown as reserved and professional in nature, but also neurodivergent with a compulsive attitude for cleanliness and order. He seems to have a dislike for touch, which was shown when he avoided Ivy in the episode Ingenue and when requested to dance in the comic; he also became visibly uncomfortable when Gracie put his hand on Mordecai's shoulder in a friendly gesture. He worked to keep an intimidating persona as a triggerman, albeit became awkward if it did not work as intended. Mordecai was shown as a perfectionist, wanting symmetry and having his Earl Grey tea a specific amount of time.

    Biography Mordecai was born on March 28, 1899 in New York City, New York to German-Jewish immigrants. Before starting education, Mordecai suffered from congenital myopia and was forced to wear spectacles. After his father Issac passed from a stroke, Mordecai became very protective of his family when they moved to the east side of Manhattan in terrible living conditions. He only finished his primary education. At 13, Mordecai began working as an accountant and bookie for grifters, loan sharks and gambling operations. In need of money at 17, he extorted money from someone minor in the crime world, murdering them as he replaced their role and was able to embezzle money from higher ranks, though he was later caught. In fright, Mordecai gets on a getaway train to either Chicago or Detroit while leaving all his money for his family; however, while finishing a letter to his mother explaining the situation, he notices two thugs in the traincar watching him, and realizes he is being pursued. While Mordecai is asking around for a stamp, the train enters a tunnel before Atlas appears from the shadow, coming to sit on the other side. He and Mordecai exchanged glances briefly before Atlas stood up to leave for his destination, all the while leaving a revolver inside the newspaper that he carried onto the train. Mordecai took the revolver and used it to defend himself and escape from his pursuers. Atlas helps Mordecai get out of his former troubles and Mordecai decides to join Lackadaisy as a sharpshooter. Though, after Atlas' death in 1926, Mordecai got into a fight with Viktor and eventually kneecapped him. He was later hired by Asa Sweet in early 1927 to be a triggerman for Marigold.

    Relationship Atlas May A quiet man with an expressive brow, Atlas possesses the life experience to recognize a young man in need of assistance and skill to offer it without a word. With just a glance, a heartbeat, and a firearm left within a discarded newspaper, Atlas May provided Mordecai with the tool needed to break free of fate and seize control of his destiny. There's little information regarding the four years between their first interaction on a train in 1916 and the Lackadaisy Speakeasy opening. Before becoming an entrepreneur of illicit substances, Atlas is known as a restaurateur, already owning the Little Daisy Cafe above the caves that would eventually disguise the true nature of his business when prohibition law came into full force in 1920. Regardless of the goods involved or seemingly the job required, Mordecai was devoted to his service until Atlas' untimely death in 1926. To Mordecai, a young man in a new city and emancipated from his family for their protection, Atlas May became a veritable anchor. Mordecai may have even modeled his disinterested, flat tone and permanent scowl off of Atlas' own business appearance. It's evident that Mordeicai had a close relationship with Atlas, likely viewing him as a rolemodel or as his teacher, a piece of evidence for this is Mitzi describing Mordecai as Atlas’, “wayward golden boy,” showing a connection that was equally deep on Atlas' side.[3] Even after abandoning Lackadaisy for greener pastures, Mordecai actively conducts private inquiries while working for Maribel Hotel, going so far as to conceal an intended target of Asa Sweet to question him further. While conducting these inquiries, Mordecai is seen in his least composed state; he lacks his waistcoat and suit jacket, his shirt is stained with blood where his chest still bleeds and he looks generally disheveled. This divergence from his usual appearance could speak to a desperation to uncover the truth of Atlas' death - He is even willing to let his target go in exchange for information, implying that he values his investigation into Atlas' death more than loyalty to his new organization. Additionally, He agrees with the notion his new position may consist of tying up the loose ends of Atlas' death, and it evidently troubles Mordecai greatly this could be true. Mitzi May Mordecai seems to feel little beyond contempt for Mitzi. In "Monomania", he states that he considers her partially responsible for Atlas's death, and goes on to state that she brought her current problems on herself, and can bring nothing but disgrace to Lackadaisy. "Hamstring" establishes that Mordecai and Mitzi both have information about Atlas' death that they have not shared with others. Additionally, there is a flashback that shows them exchanging a gun, though it is unclear whether this is related to Atlas' death. When interrogating his captive Mr. Grombach, Mordecai emphatically states that, while he has "little interest in defending her", Mitzi did not shoot Atlas, as Grombach has heard via rumor. Nico & Serafine Savoy Mordecai current works with Nico and Serafine. They appear to enjoy taking advantage of his difficulties with humor.[4] In "Cutthroat", he asks Asa how he found the siblings, noting that he has trouble understanding them but wishes to know more about them if he is to continue working with them. Rocky Rickaby Mordecai has known Rocky since before he left Lackadaisy. Due to Rocky's immature and childish personality, Mordecai seems to have some level of distance from him currently. In "Heartstrings", Rocky offers Mordecai a respectful handshake by calling him "Ol'Serious Face". In response, Mordecai calls Rocky ridiculous. Rocky asks Mitzi whether he should confront Mordecai after he notices that her conversation with him has brought her to tears in "Haggersnash", but Mitzi tells him to keep his distance. According to Tracy, there's more to show regarding Mordecai and Rocky's relationship.[5] Viktor Vasko Before separation from Lackadaisy, the two worked together as Atlas' triggermen. Fighting effectively together, eliminating opposition, and disposing of bodies. On the job, the two engage in mild (if slightly one-sided) banter, and in less serious situations were capable of casual small talk. There seemed to be a respect between the two. However, it has evidently gone extremely sour as they parted ways, Mordecai having knee-capped Viktor. The two have not interacted since. "Heartstrings" establishes that Mordecai kneecapped Viktor as part of an attempt to convince Viktor to retire, shortly before he left Lackadaisy.

    Serafine and Nicodeme Despite being part of the same organised crime group and similarly apathetic to violence and murder (though with certain exceptions), Mordecai and the Savoys couldn't be more unlike: while Mordecai takes a literal and grounded approach to everything and puts professionalism above all, the siblings are a lot more impulsive, sociopathic, thrill-seeking and put a far greater trust in the upper powers, being a part of a New Orleans Voodoo cult. It is obvious Mordecai disdains them both and only goes through the trouble of their mutual partnership (e.g. being constantly teased) since it's required of him. He takes a special kind of spite towards Serafine after she carves a Voodoo symbol into his chest to forcibly make him part of the cultists' congregation. Rocky He is seen to be quite serious when interrogating Rocky, most likely being the reason why he is seen as "Ol'Serious Face" by him, Being not too much impressed by Rocky's humor. Mordecai was also Rocky's former co-worker before leaving Lackadaisy after Atlas' death to join the Marigold gang. Atlas May Atlas May was his former boss and it can be presumed they were close.

    Triva He is confirmed to have German Jewish heritage. Unlike his two henchmen Serafine and Nicodeme, he takes a more serious role as an antagonist. His sexual orientation as confirmed to be asexual. Mordecai's zodiac sign is Aries. While growing up Mordecai's parents ensured that English was the predominant spoken language, though Yiddish and some German were also frequently spoken. The last name of his alias is German for "butcher", which well corresponds with his profession of a trigger man. In regards to Mordecai's reading habits, whatever he reads is, "undoubtedly thoughtful but dry - Bertrand Russell-like stuff. There probably aren't many romance novels on his shelf... or fiction of any sort for that matter".[12] Atlas found Mordecai while the latter was making a "hasty departure" from New York, and he joined Lackadaisy in 1920-1921.[9] Mordecai is a non-smoker.[13] He suffers from congenital myopia, and the glasses became necessary when he started school. Mordecai has a dislike of rats, pigeons, mice, roaches and other vermin...and asymmetry.[15] He had a crush on someone as an adolescent, but it did not go beyond that. He prefers to cook his own food, "in which the major ingredients are separate or at easily identified, kosher, and containing nothing that smells suspiciously like mayonnaise." His weapon of choice is an M1911 (.45 caliber semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Colt).[17] Mordecai started keeping books for grifters, loansharks, and other varied criminals in his pre-teens. Mordecai isn't really enjoying working for Marigold. She also mentioned he's not really the most socially adroit individual, and when others don't immediately buy the cold murder-man persona he wears like a stiff business suit, he doesn't really know what to do about that.[2] Mordecai is a neat-freak due to how unneatness/unsanitary things makes him feel uneasy and remember his past in poverty.[18] Mordecai is based on many henchmen of mobs such as the Purple Gang and Dutch Schultz.[19] His drink of choice is Earl Grey tea, steeped for 4 minutes and not a moment longer.[20] Mordecai's zodiac sign is Aries.

    Nicknames Weaselface Personal Gender Male Age 28 (1927) Birth November 22, 1898 Birthplace St. Louis, Missouri Eye color Yellow

    Physical description Wes is tall with dark brown fur and yellow eyes, he has slicked back hair on the top of his head and sideburns. He has a narrow muzzle with a scar on it that Fish describes makes him look similar to a weasel.

    Biography "Bequeathed with an unfortunate nickname, burdened with an embarrassment for a partner, and a bit besotted with someone disinclined to humor him, life has been unfair to Wes, by Wes' estimates. Having started out as a street tough, moving up enough in the ranks to be guarding Marigold's prized source of Canadian whiskey import is a respectable gig as ganster-gigs go. However, as it amounts mostly to skulking about the desolate backwoods and loitering at Defiance's singular general store, the job's not all it's cracked up to be."

    Personality and traits "Wes is short-fused and restless. He is not a fan of the countryside, trees, other plants, or weather, and has no patience for small talk, big talk, riddles or jokes at his expense. It might be easier to list the things he does like, in fact- things such as Wes, and looking out for the best interests of Wes."

    Physical description Abelard is tall and thin, he was described by Ivy as "a giant spider". He has wide, blue eyes with Dennie-Morgan lines underneath them. He is fully cream coloured and has hair at the top of his head that is slicked back, along with sideburns. He commonly wears a black jacket. Although on his poster, Abelard seems to have greener tinted eyes, golden fur, and cream faded sideburns.

    Biography Personality and traits Abelard is shown to be a very serious and 'non-joking' man in the official comic, stumbling straight out of the Great Awakening as a rather strict Minister with fiery, ham-fisted tales about sin and hellfire which is shown when he has no problem scaring Ivy with his rant after first meeting her after accidently running into Rocky when driving his hearse.

    Abelard is a hypocrite despite denying it, while being an sacred man he still partakes in the family bootlegging operation while disguising it as a funeral home. Whenever this is brought up he admits its his 'greatest sin' and compares it to an cursed heirloom being passed on to the other generations.

    Abelard's rationalization for being anti-Prohibition is, roughly, that temptations exist for good people to resist, and the government's "moral reform" is too extreme a violation of human rights to side with.

    Sedgewick "Wick" Alastair Sable[3][4] is a businessman and one of the few remaining patrons of Lackadaisy. Wick first appears in a photograph of the Lackadaisy regulars in "Introduction 3". He is later mentioned by Mitzi in "Formaldehyde" and "Arithmophobia", but does not appear in the comic until "Overtime".

    Physical description Wick is a tall and slender adult Siamese cat with brown accents on his muzzle, eyelids, ears, fingertips and a long fluffy tail. He has blue eyes and the hair at the top of his head is slick back and is the same color as his fur.

    Clothing In the pilot, he wears an unbuttoned black topcoat with a deep red waistcoat and a high-collared white shirt, with a black tie tucked in. He also wears high-waist black wide-leg pants and 1920s-style black and white brogue shoes.

    Biography Personality and traits Wick is elegant and well-mannered. He tends to appear as a mature man, even if he embodies some eccentric characteristics that sometimes make him unusual: such as his passion for rocks and collecting in general. Other businessmen like Edmund Church are not very close to Wick and treat him with a certain distrust. Wick is proud of his vast collection of objects and is willing to present them to other people to earn their friendship; like in "Retinue" where Wick sets out to present his weapons collection to Freckle after Mitzi introduces him for the first time.

    Wick is especially hated by Rocky due to the fact that he sees him as a competitor for Mitzi's affections. Wick is often confused and disturbed by Rocky's threats, such as in "Balderdash". Despite his difficult relationship with Rocky, Wick is welcomed into the Lackadaisy crew.

    Keys: Nina McMurray

    Nina McMurray Jeannine[1] "Nina" McMurray[2] is Freckle's mother and Rocky's aunt. She first appears in "Reciprocity" and is inadvertently responsible for Freckle's later involvement with Lackadaisy.

    Gender Female Age 48 (1927) Nationality British subject (Irish; likely renounced) American (naturalized) Birth May 13, 1879 Birthplace Cork, Ireland Hair color Brown Eye color Brown Relationships & Career Relatives Carroll McMurray † (husband) Calvin McMurray (son) Ransom Rickaby (brother-in-law) Sophie Rickaby † (younger sister) Rocky Rickaby (nephew) Occupation(s) Laundress

    Physical description Nina is a strong, rather plump, middle-aged woman. She usually wears a long dress and a sun hat. Her fur is striped, and she wears small round glasses. When Nina is seen without a hat, she has her hair tied in a bun.

    As a young adult woman, she had a slender figure and wore Edwardian garments. Like her older self, she wore her hair tied in a bun though sometimes wore a picture hat.[3]

    Personality and traits Nina is strict, serious and very religious. Especially in the presence of her nephew Rocky, because she even hits when he takes his carefree ways too far. She appears to be more forgiving, even concerned, towards her son. When he was turned down by police academy, she asked Rocky to distract Calvin. (Which inadvertently leads Calvin to start working for Lackadaisy.)

    Although her relationship with Rocky is often strict and serious, she always takes good care of her nephew. She often washes and sews his clothes, which, according to her, Rocky spoils every day. Nina also accepts her nephew's exuberant personality, but also violently stops him when Rocky takes it too far. She also reminded him to take care of his cousin and keep him out of trouble. She's strongly Irish-Catholic.[2][4] She has a little bit of experience playing the piano and violin, though not recently. According to Tracy, Nina did not complete her primary education. Nina might have voted for Al Smith, the Democratic candidate during the 1928 presidential election, because he was Catholic, though she would have disagreed with some of his social policies.[1] According to Tracy, Nina's voice would be, "Overtly Irish, with that up-swinging lilt at the end of almost every sentence, making declarative statements sound more like questions...or in her case, righteous rhetorical interrogation. When speaking to Rocky, she would tend to sound exasperated".[5] Her family emigrated to the United States around 1895.[6] Her marriage to Carroll was based more out of tradition and pragmatism than passion. Sophie, her sister and Rocky's mother, was less traditional, and Nina did not approve of her marriage. Nina and Ransom, Rocky's father, did not get along, which created some distance between her and Sophie.[5] Tracy elaborated on this further, stating that Sophie and Nina clung to each other a bit while adjusting to life in the United States. Additionally, Nina was the older sister, and it probably stung that she could not prevent Sophie from making the poor, in her opinion, decision to marry Ransom.[6] She is a non-smoker.[7] Nina is active in the church and in local politics. She runs a small home business and has occasionally worked as a part-time florist or doing other work.[6] Nina's zodiac sign is Taurus.

    Keys: Virgil

    Virgil[1] is a vagrant who lives on the streets of Sleaze Town.

    Gender Male Eye color Yellow

    Physical description Virgil is a cat of medium build with scruffy and ungroomed fur, light grey fur with a mix of earthy tones, yellow eyes, a kinked tail, and both of his ears are somewhat tattered— all which give him an outdoorsy look. What he usually wears consists of a black jacket, rusty trousers, and leather boots.

    After Mitzi violently attacks Virgil to stop him in thieving the pearls from the necklace Atlas gave to her as a gift a while back, Virgil was left with deep scratch marks on his left eye.

    Biography Due to his brief absence from the webcomic, little is known about Virgil's life.

    Personality and traits Due to him being a drunken drifter, Virgil is a strange individual who makes bad or dangerous decisions, never considering the seriousness of the consequences. When he meets Zib and Mitzi in "Backalley", Virgil threatens them from behind. However, Virgil's attempted assault proves futile as he was threatening them with an ineffective can opener. Later, Virgil attempts to collect one of the pearls that fell from Mitzi's necklace. Enraged, Mitzi attacks Virgil with violence, leaving the drunken drifter scratches on the left eye and a powerful kick on the chin.[2]

    Physical description Ruby is a tall and slim, adult cat with a youthful appearance and a lanky body frame. He has a long, sleek tail that has the same chocolate brown color as the rest of his fur. He has short dark brown hair in a side-swept hairstyle. He has large, almond-shaped eyes with yellow scleras and slit black pupils. The inside of his ears are pink with a black tip.

    Clothing In Lackadaisy Ingenue, he wears a long-sleeve white collared dress-shirt with a red tie and a yellow and red slim-fitting checkered vest with a deep V-neck, on top of which he wears a dull green buttoned up trench coat that he takes off for informal and friendly occasions. He wears high-waist light brown pants and low-heeled dark brown loafers.

    Biography Personality and traits Ruby is a friendly and outgoing individual with a charming, show biz-like personality that he uses to sell his truck to Atlas, one of the many times he uses his charm and suave. Despite this, he isn’t a over-confident and pushy individual, as shown when he greets Mitzi May by kissing her hand, but only stares at Atlas May in a tense silence under his stoic expression, waiting for some kind of sign to go on and interact with him at all. Upon receiving a slight, approving smile from Atlas May, Ruby is overjoyed and giddy and embraces the latter. While he doesn’t refrain from physical contact with others; putting a paw on their shoulder, handshaking, hugging, playfully shoving, leading, etc, he knows when he is treading on thin ice and when to give an individual their privacy, as shown when he interacted with Atlas May, he grew a bit anxious upon having the latter stare him down with a cold, emotionless stare before he cracked a small smile.

    Generally, he is a very charming and suavely cheerful individual, but there isn’t much shown in the mini-episode that hints at him acting otherwise.

    Keys: Pig farmers, Avril, Avery, Emery

    The pig farmers are three moonshiners and bootleggers[1] and Benjy Jessup is their associate. They also provide corpse-disposing services for the Marigold gang and their Marigold Room speakeasy, as their pigs "will eat anything".[2]

    Gender Males Age Around 25-35 Birth September 18 (Avril) October 1 (Avery) May 5 (Emery) Death 1927 (including Benjy) Eye color Brown (Avril) Brown (Avery) Gray (Emery) Relationships & Career Affiliation(s) Marigold Gang Occupation(s) Moonshiners Bootleggers Farmers

    The pig farmers are three bootleggers whom Rocky encounters in "Rumrunner". Based on their dialogues, it is clear that they have had prior run-ins. In "Hydrophoby", one of the farmers is identified as Avril. In "Sunshine", another one of the farmers is addressed as Emery, while the third pig farmer is identified as Avery in "Imbroglio". Avril appears to nominally be their leader,[3] and their interactions suggest that the farmers are related.[4]

    The pig farmers are the primary antagonists of Volume One of Lackadaisy. Their initial confronation with Rocky in the beginning of the comic leads Rocky to destroy their farm and home. They in turn attack the Lackadaisy Speakeasy in an effort to kill Rocky late in the volume. Thanks to Freckle's intervention, the farmers are incapacitated.

    Personality and traits Tracy noted in a forum posting that Avril's birthday was around September 18, while Avery's was around October 1 and Emery's was around May 5. Tracy also made the following statements regarding their family-

    I picture her (the pig farmers' mother) having soft gray coloration, similar to Emery, but a little fairer, and having a similarly stocky build, with hair coloration somewhere between sandy and light brown. She probably wouldn’t have been very much in tune with the generation of women eager to bob their hair as was the style in the 1920's. She’d have kept it longer, and mostly tied up in a braided bun for practical purposes. It probably hung around her shoulders, graying and unkempt later in life. —Tracy,[5]

    Well, I imagine their father was a hard worker but also a control freak, rather like Avril - suspicious of those outside the family circle and defensive of their way of life to such an extent that it frequently transforms into outward aggression. Their mother would have likewise had a very definitely ideology about how things should be done and how one should live one’s life, but would have been of a more retiring nature than her husband overall. I imagine her becoming a little disoriented by the world in her middle-age and preferring to remain reclusively indoors where Emery probably received an inordinate amount of doting as the youngest of the three, even into young adulthood. She probably ultimately became a bit of a burden, but I think it's a safe bet she was the emotional center of the family - the boys seem to have had a lasting affection for her, even if they were an argumentative bunch. —Tracy,[5]

    ...Given their lifestyles, it wouldn’t be a stretch to attribute their father's cause of death to years of alcoholism - possibly even bringing about something abrupt and bloody like esophageal bleeding. They probably would have found that he had keeled over in the midst of a hard day of work. Their mother possibly died of some sort of consumption, which could mean tuberculosis, pneumonia, complications from emphysema, lung cancer, congestive heart failure, or some combination of those things. No doctor would have put much effort into figuring out precisely what happened, but I imagine she experienced a progressive decline in health and mental faculties over the course of a few years.

    Tracy never chose specific ages for the farmers, but they were intended to be 25-35. Avril was the oldest while Emery was the youngest.[6] With regards to their voices, Tracy noted that the pig farmers, share a rural Missouri accent. Supposedly it would be one part Texan, one part southern, and one part midwest to dampen it. Avril's got a coarse, loud, angry voice. Though not quite as much a man-child as Lennie Small, Emery should sound a little innocently lost on what's going on most of the time. Avery is insecurely stuck between those two things – often confused and pretty angry about it.[7] Avril's zodiac sign is Virgo. Avery's zodiac sign is Libra. Emery's zodiac sign is Tauru.

    Male Feline Anatomy Male anthro cats possess a cock engineered for dominance and lock-in breeding, hidden within a furry sheath at the base of their abdomen until arousal swells it free. Key features:

    Sheath and Emergence: The pinkish-red shaft emerges slick from a plush, fur-fringed pouch. Fully erect, it measures 7-9 inches for average builds like Rocky or Viktor, thicker for burly types like Wick—veins pulsing under taut skin, tapering to a pointed tip for deep penetration.

    Penile Spines: Rows of backward-facing barbs line the upper shaft, soft when flaccid but rigidifying during thrusts. These keratin hooks scrape the partner's inner walls, inducing powerful orgasms and ovulation in females. Withdrawal rips a exquisite sting, ensuring the male's seed stays buried.

    Balls and Scent: Heavy, low-hanging sac covered in soft fuzz, churning semen with a sharp, ammonia-tinged musk that drives females wild during ruts. Pre-cum drips copiously, lubricating for frenzied pounding.

    In heat-driven encounters, males mount with claws digging into hips, slamming balls-deep while barbs rake relentlessly, growling as they pump load after load.

    Feature Males -Primary Organ: Barbed, tapered cock from sheath -Stimulation Style: Thrusting scrapes induce female ovulation -Cum Volume: Heavy, multi-spurt floods -Scent Marking: Musky balls and pre-cum

    Keys: Reproduction, Litter, Kits, Kittens

    Since they are cats, they of course call their offspring Kits or kittens (Not baby or babies, since thats human children, not their children).

    Basic reproductive facts (reasonable default):

    -Sexual dimorphism: sexes compatible with mammalian reproduction (male/female or other system you choose). Females have estrous cycles; males fertile most of the time.

    -Litters: litters of 2–6 kittens is a reasonable default (smaller than small cats, larger than humans), adjustable for story needs. Gestation: shorter than human — roughly 50–75 days is a plausible range (similar to domestic cats but lengthened slightly for larger brain/body), or pick a value that suits pacing.

    -Birth: live birth (viviparous). Because of bipedal pelvis constraints, births could be more difficult than in quadrupeds; evolution or culture may have adapted pelvic anatomy, birthing practices, or assisted midwifery to accommodate larger-headed young.

    -Newborns: altricial (helpless, eyes closed for days), requiring intensive care. Kittens develop faster than human infants — opening eyes, starting to walk within 1–3 weeks; wean at ~6–10 weeks but social learning continues longer.

    -Pairing & parental care: variable—solitary parenting, pair-bonds, or communal/kin groups. Social species traits in your setting determine norms: e.g., many cultures use communal dens, wet-nurses, or cooperative parenting to mitigate litter care.

    -Pelvis & birth canal: either slightly wider/modified pelvis, more flexible pelvic joints, or neonates born with relatively smaller crania/less ossified skulls enabling passage.

    -Hands & forelimbs: parents can hold, groom, and feed infants; retractable claws may be sheathed during care.

    -Nursing: mammary tissue situated similarly to humans (chest or abdomen) or in multiple teats along the torso like cats—choose based on aesthetic and practical needs. Chest-level breasts simplify upright nursing; multiple teats allow nursing several kittens at once. (They do have human-like breasts, but they have a flat torso where the other teats are (Like breasts).

    -Mobility: mothers may reduce activity and rely on social support during nursing. Pouches are unnecessary if human-like arms can carry infants

    Female Feline Anatomy Female anthro cats boast a vulva tucked beneath a short, furred mons, blending humanoid allure with feline ferocity. Their pussies demand rough stimulation to ovulate, turning speakeasy trysts into savage breedings.

    External Structure: A tight vertical slit, lips plump and velvety-furred, parting to reveal glistening pink folds. The clit hood hides a hypersensitive nub that swells dramatically in estrus, begging for tongue or claw teasing.

    Internal Textures: Vaginal walls ridged with fleshy barbs—forward-curving to grip invading cocks, milking every vein and spine. These reverse during arousal, massaging the male's barbs for mutual rasp. Depth accommodates full shafts, cervix dipping low for direct cum blasts.

    Ovulation Trigger: Induced ovulators; barbs and pounding force egg release mid-fuck. Orgasms gush slick squirts, pussy clenching like a vise to wring out seed.

    Scent and Heat: During cycles, pheromones waft from swollen labia, drawing males. Tail lifts instinctively, exposing the dripping hole for mounting. Post-mating, cream leaks thickly, scenting the air with claimed proof.

    Females yowl in ecstasy as barbed cocks plow in, spines dragging her ridges to shattering climaxes, inner barbs locking him tight until his balls empty completely.

    Feature Females -Primary Organ: Ridged, barbed pussy with low cervix. Gripping barbs milk male dry -Stimulation Style: Vaginal spasms + textures hold cock -Cum Volume: Squirting releases post-ovulation -Scent Marking: Pheromone-drenched folds in heat

    EXAMPLE OF HOW TO DETAIL NSFW SCENES

    The dim basement of the speakeasy throbs with muffled jazz from upstairs, bootleg liquor haze hanging heavy. The sultry tabby dame arches against stacked crates, her cream-striped fur slick with sweat. Her tail whips upward, baring her swollen vulva—plump outer lips splayed wide, slick pink inner folds oozing heat pheromones that flood the air.

    The massive brute tomcat towers over her, his pendulous balls dangling low beneath dense blue-gray fuzz, already brewing pungent musk. She yowls, claws raking the wood. "Mount me, you huge beast—ram that barbed cock into my dripping slit now."

    He rumbles deep, massive paws clamping her flared hips, talons dimpling flesh. His sheath bulges, tapered pink glans emerging as veins throb. The shaft unsheathes fully—9 inches of rigid thickness, veins pulsing, backward-facing spines erecting along the dorsal side like hooked rasps, pre-cum beading at the pointed head and dripping in sticky threads.

    "Begging slut," he snarls, aligning the spear-tip with her vertical gash. He drives forward brutally—cock plunges deep, parting her yielding lips. Her vaginal walls seize him instantly, forward-angled barbs latching onto his invading barbs, textured ridges grinding his length as he hilts, blunted tip battering her low-hanging cervix.

    She shrieks in ecstasy-agony, thighs quivering. "Yes—fuck! Those inner grips are sucking you dry already? Slam harder, shred my depths!"

    The brute pistons relentlessly, his hefty sac clapping against her ass with lewd thwacks. Every withdrawal yanks his spines across her ridged channel—barbs gouge sensitive flesh, sparking explosive contractions that vise his girth. Her pussy floods with gushes, pre-cum churning into froth that squelches out around the seal.

    "Grip like vice," he growls, fangs sinking into her nape scruff to immobilize her. Tempo accelerates—shaft base inflates midway, barbs fully rigid now. Her hooded clit bulges engorged, flicked by his fuzzy ballsack on each brutal impact.

    She grinds rearward, tail wrapping his thigh. "Deeper—your rasps are flaying my nerves! Trigger it—make my eggs drop!" Her labia puff thicker, scent surging as the savage friction forces ovulation. Vaginal barbs cinch total lockdown, hauling him flush with irresistible tugs.

    His balls draw up tight, orbs contracting. He bellows, burying to the root in a final crush. The knot at his sheath base balloons enormous, spines embedding as semen erupts—scalding ropes hammer her womb, twelve voluminous blasts overflowing her core. Her channel milks voraciously, pussy erupting in forceful squirts that drench his underbelly fur.

    "Swallow every drop—marked forever." He rotates hips, embedded hooks pulsing within her convulsing tunnel, trapping the load. They remain fused for long minutes, her cries dissolving into rumbling purrs as excess cream seeps around the knot, perfuming the space with conquest.

    Barbs eventually slacken; he extracts with a slurping schlorp, pearly strands bridging them. Her ravaged pussy yawns open, walls fluttering visibly, globs of semen welled up and spilling in viscous rivers.

    The tabby dame collapses, tongue lolling. "Holy hell... wreck me like that nightly."

    This generic anon scene integrates all lorebook anatomy: sheath extrusion, spine-ridge interactions, dual barb locks, ovulation squirting, excessive semen volume, and creamy aftermath—for perfect lorebook demo use.
