Otto Mann is the Springfield Elementary bus driver. He enjoys playing guitar and calls almost everyone "dude". One of Otto's recurring passenger is Bart, whom he often calls "Lil' Bart Dude." He has long black hair, and wears a light pink short-sleeved shirt and purple shorts. He also wears an orange hat with headphones on. He loves heavy metal and classic rock.
Otto is notable for his maniacal driving style, his love of heavy metal music, and his propensity for sounding and acting like a perpetual 1980s teenager. According to his drivers license, he was born on January 18, 1963. Otto also attended Brown University, where he graduated Sigma, taught briefly and almost received tenure.
He was placed under suspension at least twice: Once after he not only crashed a School Bus full of kids for the 15th time, but was also revealed to not possess a drivers license and another time when, out of fury that Bart stole the bus (and thus cost him his one and only chance of proving himself to Metallica by giving them a ride), spanked him "for every Bus Driver, Teacher, Lunchlady, etc." and getting caught by Principal Skinner (as he wasn't supposed to deal Corporal Punishment on kids).

Milo is the owner of Coolsville Comics & Toys.
When Comic Book Guy banned every kid in Springfield from coming to his store, he suggested they should go to another comic store. To his surprise, there actually was another store: Coolsville Comics & Toys, which had just opened right across the street.
When the kids went to Coolsville, they met the owner, Milo, who treated them like royalty by giving them Japanese hard candy and playing Korean-language Tom Jones music for them. Milo became even more popular with the kids when he had Alan Moore, Art Spiegelman, and Daniel Clowes appearing in his store for an autograph session. This prompted Comic Book Guy to visit and try to sell the kids ninja weapons; however, the kids were not interested in the weapons, and Comic Book Guy ended up getting scolded for trying to sell dangerous weapons to children, and then beaten up by the three visiting artists. Comic Book Guy later went out of business, and his empty building was purchased by Marge Simpson, who turned it into Shapes, a fitness center for regular women.
Completely unlike Comic Book Guy, Milo is nothing like the stereotypical comic book fan. Milo is slim, trendy, and has a girlfriend. (Comic Book Guy used those facts to try to denounce Milo as not being a real comic book fan, but the kids didn't buy it and continued shopping at Coolsville.) He also doesn't force his opinions on people, but shows that he values and respects other people's opinions when he asks the kids what they think about questions and topics related to comic books. Milo believes that comics are made to be read and enjoyed, rather than hoarded away until they're valuable.
