"Well, whenever I'm depressed I just eat a whole bunch of chocolate."
―Greenshirt to Aquashirt.

Greenshirt is a character devised by the creative minds of Rob DenBleyker and Kris Wilson and, along with Blueshirt, was one of the first-ever characters to appear in Cyanide and Happiness. Appearing in most of the comic strips seen to this day, Greenshirt is one of the most popular characters to appear in this series. Greenshirt has died many times in these comics and has provided the reader with a lot of great laughs and fond memories. Another character that resembles Greenshirt is Charles.

Greenshirt isn't one single individual and cannot exactly be considered as a recurring character, since he doesn't have a proper name and lacks a true history due to the fact that most of C&H comics are independent and have their own stories and characters, without impacting on the others. Greenshirt is, in fact, one of the most common and reusable physical appearances used for the anonymous figures of C&H. Hence, the shade of his shirt can somewhat change as it is not a fixed distinguishing feature, unlike for example the dark tone always used for Charles.

At the beginning of C&H, the two main colors for the shirts were blue and green, and through time it remained one of the most recurring colors. Yet a lot of comics feature Redshirt, Orangeshirt, Pinkshirt... characters.
