Barry Brittle

Character
Barry Brittle was a creative V.P. who heard Ajax's poetry and offered him a job at a greeting card company. He was a slimy businessman who cared only about the bottom line and had no artistic integrity. He "used the gay label as an accessory" to earn himself affirmative action promotions. He relied entirely on graphs created by data from focus groups in his suggestions for Ajax's poems. When Ajax tells him he changed his mind about the job, Barry threatens him, telling him his family will be bankrupt if he leaves. Eventually Duckman accidentally destroys his focus group data collecting supercomputer, resulting in Ajax's firing, and Barry vowing never to try anything new or creative ever again.
