Charles Schneider

* Big
* Small

**Charles Schneider** is a recurring driver in Does Not Commute. He is a dentist who is also interested in time travel. One of his time travel projects was to open a wormhole between the present (The Harbour) and the future (The Metropolis/Future). Before doing this, he experimented on many commuters (see below). His car is light blue.

## Commuters affected by experiments

* A group of ornithologists (affected by dodo sightings on Glower Boulevard)
* Ms. Nelson (subjected to an unknown experiment)
* Mr. Grantham (bored by talk about wormholes)
* Mr. Kirby (bought Duncan from him)
* A Cro-Magnon and a fair maiden (came through a wormhole from far in the past)
* Lord Ridley (came from the past into the City (Night))
* Charles Schneider (again) (from the past, but same car and face)
* Retired Dentist Charles Schneider
* Mr. Shepard (came from the Metropolis/Future into The Harbour)
* Dentist student Charles Schneider
* Ms. Donnahue (drove into the Metropolis/Future, after getting distracted from her apartment)
* Julia (drove into the Metropolis/Future)
* Duncan, the intelligent velociraptor (came from a wormhole from the Mesozoic Era, and grew up with Mr. Kirby. Once he was old enough to talk and walk normally, he went out into the world and got himself a green flying saucer)
* Ms. Stewart (Seen driving an actual car, although the story suggests she got it in the future)
* Dr. Brown (seen driving a DeLorean, presumably time-travelled himself)
* Mrs. More (disgusted by all the "barbaric, wheel-driven, ground-touching" cars driving into The Metropolis/Future, a world of advanced, self-driving, hovering cars)
* Ni-Ko Bim-Zawang (Possible hypotheses:)

1. Mrs. Griffin drove her car away from Glower Boulevard in the harbor, into the Metropolis/Future, and morphed into Ni-Ko Bim-Zawang.
2. While driving to Glower Boulevard, Mrs. Griffin began to morph into Ni-Ko Bim-Zawang. Many years pass, and she is now in the Metropolis/Future, feeding on more souls.
