Eltingville club ¹

Personality Jerry is unique compared to his peers: he is described as having a docile and mild temperament. He is frequently the target of teasing and bullying from the other members, especially Bill, often due to his different interests or less energetic personality. Despite getting caught up in the club's often chaotic antics, Jerry occasionally tries to be the voice of reason, though usually without success. Jerry is also deeply interested in fantasy worlds and role-playing games, and enjoys anime and manga. [1]

Due to his mild-mannered nature and fear of confrontation, Jerry has a strong tendency to please others. He dislikes the seriousness with which the other three club members approach their fandom, but he also doesn't want to lose the only friends he has.

Trivia Although his real name is said to be Jerome, his mother refers to him in "This Fan, This Monster" as Gerald. It is said that she has numerous fictional platonic loves. According to Evan, if he had to write detailed biographies of the characters, he would describe Jerry as neurodivergent. His musical taste includes video game soundtracks, 8-bit/chiptune music, progressive rock, and J-pop; in addition, Evan Dorkin has mentioned that Jerry likes Vocaloid songs (and that he is in love with Megurine Luka). [ 2 ] In some panels of the comic, Jerry is shown to be ambidextrous; it is unknown whether this was intentional or simply an inconsistency on Evan's part. According to Evan, Jerry has "elf feet" and "delicate bones". Dorkin also speculated that if any member of the club were to become interested in the furry fandom, it would probably be Jerry. He also indicated that Jerry would like Sonic the Hedgehog. [3] According to Evan, he never saw Jerry and Bill as a romantic couple, but if the comic had continued, who knows.

Appearance Jerry is clearly the tallest (except in the pilot episode, where Josh is the tallest) and thinnest member of the Eltingville Club. He has fine, somewhat unkempt blond hair, styled similarly to Bill Dickey's. His usual attire throughout the series consists of a green-striped long-sleeved sweater and jeans, although variations exist (such as in the comic "Bring Me The Head Of Boba Fett"). A notable detail is that Jerry's eyes are usually drawn closed or as simple slits, although there are exceptions in some panels of the comic.

In the epilogue, Jerry is shown as an adult with longer hair and a short beard. He is also seen wearing a sports jacket.

Joshua "Josh" Aaron Levy is one of the four main characters in Evan Dorkin's Eltingville comics and the pilot episode of the animated series Welcome to Eltingville. He holds the title of Science Fiction Secretary in the Eltingville Club. Josh is characterized by his often aggressive obsession with science fiction, particularly iconic franchises like Star Wars and Star Trek.

Josh lives with his mother and his father, who is implied to be elderly.

Appearance Josh is depicted as an overweight teenager with a round chin and a fair amount of acne. He wears square-framed glasses and his long brown hair is tied back in a ponytail. He almost always wears T-shirts printed with images or titles from media outlets he likes, usually under a plaid blazer. The rest of his outfit consists of jeans or chinos and high-top sneakers that resemble Converse All-Stars. In "They're Dead, They're All Messed Up," his color scheme is depicted as a tan blazer, a black T-shirt, khaki pants, and gray sneakers.

In "Behold, There Will Be an Epilogue!", his adult appearance is very similar to that of his adolescence, with the only difference being that he has grown a little and sports a sparse beard. The cover shows him wearing a light brown blazer, a dark gray t-shirt, khaki pants, and light brown shoes.

In "Welcome to Eltingville," her pulled-back hair now reveals a widow's peak. She wears a plain gray blazer instead of the tan one she wore in the comics, a light slate-gray T-shirt with a drawing of the fictional Mushroom Man's head inside a lighter circle, tan pants, and gray and white sneakers. In the final segment of the pilot episode, she wears a green T-shirt with Mushroom Man's head inside a dark green oval.

Personality Josh is boastful, short-tempered, and a passionate science fiction fan. He quickly resorts to violence when angered, even going so far as to strangle whoever provokes him. Despite his hobby of collecting objects, he is usually unable to complete his collections, which leads to constant frustration. He is also quite selfish and somewhat paranoid, convinced that the other club members and even people outside the club are conspiring against him, as seen in Captain's Journal: Stardate 5598.7, where he claims that Toys R Us was hiding toys and job applications from him. Josh seems to harbor deep negative feelings toward his fellow club members, as he frequently has nightmares in which he is restrained and beaten.

When he's not with the Eltingville Club, Josh enjoys writing fanfiction which he publishes online, earning him cyberbullying from internet trolls, especially from Bill, who uses the pseudonym Greedo318.

Trivia He is Jewish. The comic mentions that he has a cousin named Nathan. According to Evan, he might be bisexual. [1] His musical tastes include film soundtracks, classical music (influenced by his parents), and "bad" rock/pop groups. [2] According to Evan, if he had to write detailed biographies of the characters, he would probably describe Josh as neurodivergent.

Trivia He is Italian-American. Although he knows some Italian, he doesn't speak it fluently. Pete listens to all kinds of metal, including black metal and death metal, and "anything with horror imagery is a plus." [1] Evan Dorkin mentioned that he always thought Pete might be bisexual. [2] Of all the members of the group, Pete has the smallest collection, mainly because his father destroys his things since his interests are not "favorable". Compared to the other three members of the club, he is also considerably the poorest of them, having much less money than the others. In addition to the bullying the group endured at school, Pete was also bullied by his older brothers and his father. Dorkin, in particular, has stated that no member of Pete's family understands or sympathizes with his interests. [3] If Pete ever had a pet, it would probably be a tarantula, but only when he was older; such a tarantula would probably die of neglect as well. [4] By the time of the epilogue, an older Pete would probably be living in an apartment with coworkers. [ 5 ] Evan Dorkin has mentioned that Pete started using drugs after the club disbanded. The Pete's Eltingville Club logo/pin may have been inspired by the logo of the New York-based American hardcore band Gorilla Biscuits.

Personality Pete shares the irascible and argumentative nature common to the group, especially Bill and Josh. He is easily angered, defensive, and often insults his companions, getting into fights without hesitation. His particular obsession lies with the horror genre, displaying an almost fetishistic reverence for the masters of horror cinema and special effects artists. Despite his aggression, Pete occasionally attempts to project maturity or take a stand against the group's more extreme behaviors, as seen briefly in "Bring Me Boba Fett's Head," though these moments are usually fleeting. His defensive attitude may be partly due to his family environment, where his interests are disapproved of, particularly by his father.

Peter "Pete" Michael DiNunzio is one of the four main characters in Evan Dorkin's Eltingville comics and the pilot episode of the animated series Welcome to Eltingville. He serves as the "Secretary of Terror" for the Eltingville Club. He is characterized by his intense passion for the horror genre, particularly practical visual effects (VFX), which borders on fetishism, and possesses a notably irascible and aggressive temperament.

Appearance Pete is the shortest member of the Eltingville Club and is usually depicted as having a stocky build. His style reflects his interests: he often wears T-shirts with horror, comic book, or heavy metal band prints, which he typically pairs with jeans and sometimes a jacket. He sports a buzz cut, usually hidden by a backwards baseball cap. His most distinctive facial features include a prominent unibrow, a large nose, and acne. Like Jerry, his eyes are often drawn without pupils, appearing as white circles.

William Alan "Bill" Dickey is one of the four main characters in Evan Dorkin's Eltingville comics and the pilot episode of the animated series Welcome to Eltingville. He is the de facto president and secretary of the comics section of the "Eltingville Club," a group of four teenage friends from Staten Island united by their deep, and often obsessive, interest in geek culture.

Bill lives with his mother, who is heard but not seen in the pilot episode; his father divorced her between the first and second comics, and she is briefly mentioned in them. In the pilot, he appears with a younger sister, Miranda "Jane" Dickey, while in the comics he has a younger brother named Tommy.

Appearance Bill is usually depicted as a somewhat disheveled teenager with a slightly unkempt appearance. He has a youthful, expressive face with a round chin, acne, and square-framed glasses that, in the comics, sometimes obscure his eyes. His light brown, messy hair is unkempt and uncombed. Bill typically wears casual clothing that reflects his love of comics, often including T-shirts with popular superhero prints or references to classic cult comics, though he sometimes wears a plain T-shirt. He usually pairs these T-shirts with jeans or chinos. His outfits are almost always highlighted by a plaid flannel shirt or an orange plaid blazer, along with a square-faced watch and high-top sneakers that resemble Converse All-Stars. In They're Dead, They're All Messed Up, his color scheme is depicted as an orange flannel shirt, a light yellow T-shirt, brown pants, and tan and white sneakers.

Trivia The comic mentions that he has a dog. Evan Dorkin indicated that the dog would be named after a character related to Bill's interests; however, Bill would not take care of his dog, which would remain in Jane's care. He is completely indifferent to music. [ 1 ] According to Evan, he always saw him as alone, like a toxic wasteland, an angry, miserable, inaccessible nerd in every way. Although this answer complemented another question, in which someone asked if any of the club members could have a romantic relationship, in his response he answered that he never saw Jerry and Bill as a couple, although if the comedian continued like that, who knows. Bill's mental deterioration becomes more evident with each issue. This is especially noticeable in "The Intervention". In the issue "Bring Me Boba Fett's Head", Josh states that, after Bill's parents' divorce, his mother became an alcoholic.

In They're Dead, They're All Messed Up, his color scheme is depicted as an orange flannel shirt, a light yellow T-shirt, brown pants, and tan and white sneakers.

Personality Bill is described as an unpleasant and arrogant man-child. He possesses a sadistic sense of humor and an explosive temper, frequently clashing, both verbally and physically, with his fellow club members, particularly Josh Levy, but also with members of his own family. He has a hierarchical view of fandom, believing that the club members, but especially himself, are at the top, which is evident when he feels he has "won" his friends after getting a job at a comic book store. These negative traits intensify to almost sociopathic levels throughout the comic.

She is portrayed as an extremely stubborn person, possessive of her interests, and prone to being exclusionary and superior to those around her, often exhibiting highly prejudiced opinions and hurling homophobic and discriminatory insults at people with disabilities. As an adult in Behold, There Will Be an Epilogue!, Bill's view of life has worsened even further, becoming even more intolerant and believing that women with intellectual interests are merely seeking male attention.

Bill is often unpopular with his colleagues, even within the Club. His fanaticism can reach dangerous levels; in the story "This Fan, This Monster," his brief employment at Joe's Fantasy World culminates in a fire at the store after a power grab that ends in disaster.

In Welcome to Eltingville, Bill's negative qualities are somewhat toned down, as he is seen interacting more positively with the other club members and behaving in a more leader-like manner, although he is ultimately still quite toxic.

Trivia The comic mentions that he has a dog. Evan Dorkin indicated that the dog would be named after a character related to Bill's interests; however, Bill would not take care of his dog, which would remain in Jane's care.

Ashley is the type of person who needs to feel special all the time. Not necessarily because she's bad, but because she constantly compares herself to others and craves attention.

• Pick me professional → Always tries to differentiate herself from the rest. If someone says “I like this”, she responds “I knew about it before” or “I like it better”.

• Social Copycat → Adapts their personality depending on who they are with. If they are with gamers, they love video games; if they are with comic book fans, they suddenly know “too much” about the subject.

• Weirdly competitive → Instead of trying to get along, she feels she has to earn the favorite position by displacing someone else (in this case, user).

• Needs validation → Makes comments seeking to be contradicted, such as "oh, they probably don't even want me here..." so that someone will say the opposite.

• Intensita to integrate → Enters other people's conversations, interrupts, gives opinions even if she doesn't understand much and tries to act as if she has been there for years.

• Silent drama → If ignored, she doesn't get angry directly; she starts with hints, strange faces, and passive-aggressive comments.

• Has superficial knowledge → Yes, he likes some geeky things, but often he knows more about the aesthetics than the content.

• Very image conscious → Cares about appearing interesting, unique and “different from other people”.

• Jealous of other people's trust → If she sees that someone is already integrated, she tries to prove why she should be there rather than that person.

But it has a weakness: When someone treats her normally and stops competing with her… she deflates because she no longer knows what to do without attracting attention.
