Depicting: Bewitched, Bothered, and Bemildred, a recurring trio of anthropomorphic bats often portrayed as grubby, unshaven hobos and gamblers, with a good-natured but somewhat questionable sense of honesty.

According to the comic, they tell each other apart (if at all) by the patterns of their trousers - striped, checkered, or plaid
