Carmen – a 'feisty' conservative and a
Republican. For a brief time, she had a crush on
Tucker Carlson. Carmen made her first appearance at least 4 months before the strip began, in one of Stantis's editorial cartoons.
Winslow – named for the town of
Winslow, Arizona, is a coyote with political aspirations who acts patronizing, condescending and impulsive. His
liberal responses are typically the source of the strip's jokes. Carmen is continuously frustrated by Winslow's assumption that she should be a liberal feminist. Early in the strip's run, Winslow had a crush on
Condoleezza Rice, even writing a poem about her (which Carmen initially misunderstood as being a poem about herself).
Minor recurring characters • Kevin, the Lost Bunny of the
Apocalypse. Depending on the needs of the strip, he's alternately meant to evoke
Barack Obama and
Bill Clinton. He reports on signs of the "
end times". In 2010, he was elected to the U.S. Senate under the banner of Winslow's "Lefty Tea Party". • Hunny, Kevin's wife (also a bunny) and a prominent politician. Her character is a thinly veiled satire of
Hillary Clinton. • Dio, a chameleon named for
Diogenes the Cynic. He was a campaign director for Winslow. • Vaughn, appears to be an armadillo. He served as Winslow's campaign finance director. • Rand, a vulture, possibly named after
Rand Paul or
Ayn Rand . == Controversies ==
