These two men are working on Mr Donner’s bakery where Charlie works too. They are ordinary people who don’t take Gordon seriously. When it is possible, they laugh at Charlie, have fun, but he cannot understand that they use him as the butt of all jokes. He thinks that it is how friendship works, and they are having good time together. When the protagonist becomes intelligent, he starts hating his friends because they used to make fun of him. Frank and Joe disappoints Gordon but when he turns to his primary steps, they again become “friends.”
