Gerome is a magenta pillar creature, wearing blue overalls, faded orange shoes and gloves, and a blue cap. He sometimes appears to be either in a lunch break, mopping the floor, or taking a nap. He is Pillar John's brother. Pillar John is a large purple pillar bearing a tired expression. He has yellow ringed pupils in his black eyes, a distinguished wrinkly forehead, a large nose and eyebrows, and an underbite, which hides his teeth. He is also slightly bandaged and cracked.
