Seymour is a editorial assistant at the New Frontiersman.
Biography[]
New Frontiersman[]
In 1985, Seymour worked at the New Frontiersman as an editorial assistant to Hector Godfrey. At times Seymour would deliver newspapers to Bernard's newsstand where Walter Kovacs bought issues of the New Frontiersman from. Seymour is partially seen behind Godfrey when he appears on the TV news.[1] Seymour is also seen with Godfrey preparing a New Frontiersman draft, continuing the story about Max Shea's disappearance and put a filler from the crank file.[2] Seymour was able to survive the alien attack in New York City. In January 1, 1987, Seymour bought lunch at Burgers 'N' Borscht. He returned to the New Frontiersman office, but is told by Godfrey that he isn't allowed to have lunch break until he finishes another issue. Their new issue needs a filler piece, so Godfrey tells Seymour to pick whatever he wants from the “crank file.” Seymour’s hand hovers over a pile of articles and pamphlets, amongst which is Rorschach’s journal.

Behind the Scenes[]
- Seymour was designed by Alan Moore to be "the ordinary common slob". He is the final character shown in Watchmen, playing a pivotal role in the final pages of the series, whom Moore describes as "the most low-life, worthless, nerdy sort of character in the entire book who finally has the fate of the world resting in his pudging fingers".[3]
- In the film adaptation, he is portrayed by Chris Gauthier.
