In June 2011, due to budget cuts, Brad was laid off, but when another firefighter left, he was rehired in November. Since he became a firefighter, Brad's storylines have shared equal, if not more, time than Luann's storylines. While not working as a firefighter, Brad is shown fixing his dilapidated car. Brad moved into a rental home owned by his parents that he shares with his best friend, T.J., which was fire damaged by T.J., neglecting a frying pan on the stove, and was later remodeled. Brad was previously shown to be a couch potato, but to become a firefighter, Brad worked out to pass his fitness exams, and has since been drawn with a more fit physique and well defined jawline. However, following 9/11, Brad was inspired to become a firefighter. He used to work at Weenie World, a hot dog/hamburger restaurant similar to Wienerschnitzel. Luann usually shows a snarky sibling attitude toward Brad (and vice versa). A running gag in the strip is that no matter how many times Nancy tells her to, Luann never cleans her room. Frank is usually clueless about what goes on, while Nancy is more aware of everything. Nancy is portrayed as the heart of the family, while Frank provides for it.
