Going to try a character that actually has more smarts and depth than a carrot in a puddle (unfortunately this also makes him harder to write than, say, Krchch who practically wrote all the jokes on his own and had one response to everything).
I'm hoping to bring some lulz and hopefully manage to deal with Fred's problems in a not too hamfisted manner.
...I was actually planning to plunk one of my characters in the forest, so I think that's where Fred is going to end up, just because I find the idea of a depressed zombie *hilarious.*
