My Favorite Character

His name is Whiskey Bob, which probably tells you a lot of itself. He’s a minor character, though he could be considered taking the archetypical role of the, Helper. His initial introduction to the main character is, “The name is Whiskey Bob, that’s Bob with one ‘O’”. You get the idea.

Whiskey Bob is a vet of the Korean War, so there’s a bit going on there. His inspiration is part real life, part whimsical, but leaning more to real life.

I wish that I knew Whiskey Bob in real life.  He’s such a sweet man.  I’d appreciate his wisdom, his common sense, his tell-it-like-it-is attitude.  He’s a man whom I could love, in the platonic sense.  More than anything, I wish that I could raise a glass with Whiskey Bob and listen to another story.
