Character file 001

Meet the man who already knows.

Skid is an ageing pub rocker, Facebook veteran and fearless opponent of questions he cannot answer. He never knowingly makes a stupid argument. He believes every word.

  • Supremely confident
  • Chronically online
  • Evidence-adjacent
  • Morally triumphant
“If enough people share it, that’s basically evidence.”
