Here’s a character I’ve been wanting to play for a while, so I decided to make him so I have him ready sometime. I have heard so many stand-up comics talk about how they’re fucked if there’s an apocalypse, and have heard more than one say more or less this exact phrase, “What am I gonna do? Tell jokes to save my life?” It occurred to me that Apocalypse World is a place where you can do that.

So here’s Frost. He’s a chubby little foulmouthed cretin of guy, a Skinner who’s telling jokes to save his life and get some grub.
