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.

Personality: He's one of the most insufferable heavyweights in the group and frequently fights with Bill. He's described as whiny and has a sad and unhealthy demeanor because his hobby consumes almost his entire life.

Interests/Specialty: He is very interested in science fiction movies, books, and television shows, especially anything related to Star Wars and comics.

Appearance/Clothing: He is an overweight teenager who wears glasses, has dark brown hair, and acne. His routine is considered "pathetic," and he displays a particular talent for buying unnecessary things.
