Johnny is the more passive of the duo to the extent where he occasionally finds himself compared to a dog, staying behind or at the sidelines with Conway's [[dog|hound]]. Despite his assertion that Junebug is the artist – and that he is "only an entertainer" – Johnny appears to be highly creative and poetic. He spends much of his time thinking, daydreaming, composing music, and being distracted by the world around him. He enjoys teasing Junebug, often with her same tragic sense of black humor, and refers to her as "ma'am.
Johnny has a passion for sound and a particular affinity for sounds and animals; the duo may explain that he enjoys the digital cacophony of the arcade or the animals at the petting zoo. There are a number of stops along the {{Zero}} [[Echo River]] at which Johnny tries (often unsuccessfully) to record various sounds with his tape recorder. He calls Junebug "ma'am."
