Ottey Otter Bagel-munching, oyster-gobbling, smart-alecky fuzzball. Spends most of her time eating, drinking and agonizing her coworker and best friend Judy. Has occasional bouts with her conscience but manages to remain aloof of ethical concerns. Loosely based on the real life Jennifer Otter.

Judy Panda Short-tempered, gluttonous, foul-mouthed and therefore, the most entertaining coworker in the office. Confronted with serious situations and moral dilemmas, Judy seeks escape and solace in food, especially bamboo in all its culinary forms. Loosely based on the real life Judy Lung.

Andréa Antelope The social conscience of the office whose self-proclaimed duty is to keep everyone else in line, an impossible task at best. No one has any idea when her perpetual pregnancy will finally come to fruition. Perhaps never. Who knows? Loosely based on the real life Andréa Grau.

Mark "Markangaroo" Kangaroo Boss to the girls. Called 'slavedriver' behind his back and to his face. Suffers from gender confusion and is constantly being caught engaging in compromising positions which he denies in a futile attempt to redeem his already tarnished freakish reputation. Loosely based on the real life Mark Slone.

Potty Skunk Endlessly optimistic. Endlessly cheery. Endlessy winding up running to the ladies room. Suffers from a weak bladder. Brings up personal hygiene issues with enthusiasm at the most inopportune times in the most public situations. Loosely based on the real life Jeanne Potesil.

Laura Giraffe Bitter and tormented by her inept, moronic peers, she feels she deserves better than to be lumped together with those she feels are beneath her, both intellectually and physically, which is pretty much everybody at work. Loosely based on the real life Laura (whose last name escapes me).

"Curious" Gord Monkey The fictional, short-lived male coworker who gained his notoriety and nickname from keeping his primate hands all over his unwilling female victims. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but curiosity has kept Gord's knees crossed from constant retaliation.

Mott Otter Fictional and short-lived is an apt description for Ottey's diabolical, condescending, profane nephew, who drops into the office but doesn't quite make it back out again much to most people's relief. The candle that burned so brightly, yada yada.

Brenda Beaver Newcomer to the Ottey clan, vocabulary of a Californian who's watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure one too many times, like, you know, okay? Freelances as an attorney on the side for a little extra fortune and fame. Loosley based on the real life Brenda Sufer.

Horsey Horseyman Occasionally shows up in the strip in a cameo role. Suffered and survived a radical hoof transplant. Suspected by Judy to have a 'thing' for Ottey without adequate evidence. Beast of burden for the demanding employees in Ottey's office. Loosely based on the real life Gary Horsman.
