Paul
First appearance Static Fish #14 (Pratt Institute's Student Comic Book)

The love of his life has exited in a whirlwind of "I never loved you" spoken at the worst possible moment. Sure, maybe at first it felt like perpetually being hit in the gut accompanied by that lay down in the street and give up nausea. But you just move on right? Paul is fine. Really. Go ahead and ask him. "I'm fine," he'll respond.

Despite the best effort of those around him, nothing seems to ‘snap’ him out of his gallant feats of avoidance.

But when his childhood imaginary friend, Edward, returns, Paul can no longer ignore reality.

Edward
First appearance Frayed Ends #1

Edward doesn't exist. He isn't real. A simple childhood fantasy left behind with cardboard box time machines and stick laser pistols. An imaginary friend from yesteryear,

But there he is. Standing over there, laughing, jumping, twirling around. Edward is back and he needs Paul’s help…
Jason Brightman
First appearance Nebraska, 1973

Jason was born in an itsy bitsy town before moving to progressively larger and larger towns all in states beginning with the letters ‘M’ or ‘N’ until finally settling in New York City in 1992 where he attended Pratt Institute.

Jason wasn’t at Pratt for more than three weeks before resurrecting their long dormant student comic publication ‘Static Fish’ which he guided till his graduation in 1996 (BFA in Graphic Design).

After graduation Jason briefly gave up the silly dreams of comics for more lucrative pursuits like designing Stephen King movie posters and kids toy packaging. He currently is the Online Art Director of Harris Publications where he creates and maintains such popular sites as Guitar World Magazine, Vampirella, and KING Magazine.

Having secured enough money to pay rent and student loans Jason turned his attention back to his love of comics and began self-publishing ‘Frayed Ends’.
