Main Characters

    open/close all folders 
    Todd 

The protagonist, an everyday guy working at a computer repair shop who one day got into an accident with a time machine. Despite his Everyman status, he has a tendency to go overboard when he puts his mind to something.


  • Big Brother Instinct: Towards his younger self, Babs. In Episodes 154 through 156, Todd attempts to make up for lost time together by taking Babs to an amusement park. While the park turns out to be closed, it ends on a wholesome note with Todd and Babs showing to bond over music.
  • Break the Cutie: His life goes through a handful of shambles after the presence of his other versions.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Despite his status as an Everyman, Todd is his own oddball and often comes up with zany ideas.
  • Ditzy Genius: Todd usually lacks a lot of common sense, but he's a skilled computer repairman.
  • Hidden Depths: Todd knows a lot about computers, eventually starting his own business. He also seems to share his uncle's love for anime.
  • Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places: Todd can get infatuated easily and can make a lot of hasty decisions from crushing, a prime example being when he met Hattie. It didn't end well when he saw what kind of person she is...
  • Nice Guy: In the midst of his laziness and often reckless behavior, Todd shows many times that he has a good heart.
  • Red Oni,Blue Oni: Todd is the boisterous, carefree, and immature red to his future self's dour and more reliable blue.
  • The Slacker: He's often chastised by Tomo for his laziness.

    Tomo 

The protagonist, Todd's self from the near future. Tomo is short for Tomorrow. He usually takes the role of Only Sane Man, seeing as how he has to suffer the consequences of Todd's mistakes.


  • Authority Equals Asskicking: Only due to age and maturity. Tomo doesn't hesitate to shoot Todd with tranquilizers, use sleeping gas on him, or even quarantine him when he doesn't make healthy choices.
  • Berserk Button: Has one when Todd suggests they play frisbee at the park. Tomo is revealed to utterly despise frisbee and the people who play it.
  • Control Freak: Tomo expects better decisions out of Todd frequently and can be really demanding about them. Although, this is shown to be justified because Tomo will always bear the brunt Todd's consequences.
  • Guyliner: In one Q&A episode, Todd asks Tomo if he puts on eyeliner as soon as he wakes up, alluding to him wearing eyeliner.
  • Hypocrite: Will get on Todd's case for being lazy, when he often does nothing but play video games.
  • I Hate Past Me: Being a future version of Todd with a vastly different personality, he usually ends up regretting the stupid decisions he made the previous day when he was Todd (especially because, being aware of what will happen, he’s the one who has to stop Todd from making these decisions.)
  • Iron Woobie: Tomo is shown to be incredibly jaded and hyper diligent from the pain that occurred in his past, especially since his post cognition doesn't allow him to prevent it.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Tomo may not entertain his roommates' antics and is the surliest version of Todd, but he will do anything for their well-being.
  • Mad Oracle: A downplayed example. He can see into Todd's/his own future, although he cannot change any events, leading him to be injured or bound to unpleasant situations. While his ability doesn't drive him mad per se, Tomo is shown to be incredibly drained due to Todd's poor decisions. It's even regarded as a curse in universe.
  • Not So Stoic: In Episode 7, he's shown tearing up even after stating he got over Hattie using him.
  • Only Sane Man: The main voice of reason in the comic.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Definitely the blue to Todd's red.

    Oldie 

The protagonist, Todd's self from the far future. Generally a laid-back dude who's hard to put off, although he's a bit off-putting himself.


  • Affably Evil: While he it incredibly polite, he was implied in the comic to be an evil version of Todd. However, it was eventually disproven.
  • Chaotic Good: He can have a jokingly ominous disposition and was shown in Episode 23 to not have lived a completely moral life. However, he's gained wisdom from his experiences and wants to advise his younger selves to live properly.
  • Cool Old Guy: His favorite music genres are modern rap and heavy metal.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Episode 23 gives a rundown of numerous miserable and harrowing things that occurred through Oldie's life (some of them caused by him). It gets even sadder when we get to Episode 80, where we learn that Oldie is completely alone after Todd's future wife, Sophie, dies from old age.
  • Friend to All Children: He's treats Babs like a grandson and spends that most time with him.
  • The Gadfly: Is incredibly fond of trolling his younger versions and even the readers.
  • Intergenerational Friendship: Oldie lives with 3 younger roommates, who are all versions of him from the past.
  • Mellow Fellow: Oldie is the most phlegmatic and forward-looking of the Todd's.

    Babs 

The protagonist, Todd's younger self. A baby.


  • The Baby of the Bunch: He's the youngest version a Todd out of the 4.
  • Bully Hunter: When he goes to daycare for the first time, he uses his powers against a bully who was going to hit a girl.
  • Creepy Child: Besides his dangerous powers, Babs is oddly quiet for a baby and rarely emotes. When he smiles, however, it's one of the cutest things.
  • Goo-Goo-Godlike: Babs is capable of rapidly aging and destroying items including people, as well as manifesting giant hands out of his blanket.
  • The Speechless: Well, he IS an infant. When he turns into a teenager temporarily, he's able to talk.
  • Tagalong Kid: Despite being only a younger version of Todd, Tomo, and Oldie, he's treated similarly to a baby brother.
