Our second new character in as many strips. This little guy is called Platy. Can you guess what he is? His story is a very sad one.
Way back in strip 15, Mr. Stinky found a house. Only he never told Flying Man how it had come into his possession. Then, in strip 39, they hitched the house to Robinson and never looked back.

EDIT: I redid the character page – so go check it out!
Uh… A duck? NO! A beaver. Wait…
Can someone tell me what the hell a platypus is supposed to be?
I have a vague sense of foreboding….
Is he, by any chance, semi-aquatic and egg-laying?
I think he looks like a groundhog or a gopher…
Why did Flying Man take his house? Does Flying Man not understand that everything in the world is not his to take? No, I bet Mr. Stinky had something to do with his pain and misery…
If you remember, back when the house first showed up, it was Mr. Stinky who found it. Flying Man probably should have asked him a few more questions. A house is never free. And for that matter, a house is never “found.”
And yes, he’s a platypus.
He looks sort of like a Prinny, especially with the patchworck connecting the limbs. Weird.
I think Mr. Stinky may have met his match.
Just maybe.
Stuff: I designed him to have connecting stitches because I wanted to try a new style, rather than the “fuzzy fluff” of the original three characters.
…and yet vague to the end.
I’m not sure what you mean, TG.
lol im sorry for him but wheen it said *clench* it was very funny because it looks like he doesnt have hands!! does he have hands or was that just some..idk just some random joke or something?
There be a lot of stealing/vengeance in this comic.
Oh wait sorry didn’t get it before. yeah mr. stinky took it a long time ago.
Oh! The glistening tear has me undone!
TMitB: Oh yes, stealing aplenty.
CC: You got it – he doesn’t have hands, so it’s just meant to be funny. What is he clenching? I have no idea.
TG: It’s been a long time, so no worries.
Poor Platy. It seems a few people (for lack of a better word) are gunning for Mr Stinky right now.
By the way- his hops are so cute!
I know! He has so much joy in his hopping.
The stiches look good, I think. I just thought it was funny how they also make him look like a brown Prinny with a tail.
Wow I haven’t posted or read in a while. Two new characters! I’m quite fond of them, more so of Platy.
Glad you approve!
