Who’s Who on Maurice and Peckus (Part 3: The Allies and Minors)

Steven once again. More info on characters in Maurice and Peckus.

Officer Lenard Lion – The head officer of the Peaceville Police Department, boss of Maurice and Peckus, and sometimes the parental figure of the toons. He usually contacts the Cartoon Police (the collective name of Maurice, Peckus, and the gang) about new missions through telephone ala Sam and Max (Maurice and Peckus even fight over who answers, and Maurice usually wins). He’s usually the supervisor of many of the events in Peaceville.

Mayor Foxworthy – The perky mayor of Peaceville. Despite her “vigorous schedule”, she always seems to have time for Maurice and/or Peckus to visit and ask for her advice. She’s usually more than happy to help and enjoys their visits (even though she usually calls security to take them out afterwards.)

Gregory “Big Man” Bird – Peckus’ father and part time masked wrestler “The Feathered Thunder”. He periodically visits Peaceville to see his son and help him out with his problems. Even though he has aged a bit (he’s around 45, near Lenard’s age), he’s still quite the fighter and can lift almost as much as his son. Fun fact: I modeled this character after my own dad.

Tyresha the Mouse – Nutty’s friend and playmate. She has an innocent crush on Peckus, much to his disgust. Because of this, Peckus usually tries (and sometimes, succeeds) in matching her up with Nutty, who has no problem with it since he has taken a liking to Tyresha.

Fred, Dominic, and Jerry (all jaguars) – Three brothers who live next door to Maurice and Peckus. These three lovable losers tend to scheme their way into things and are usually the ones behind some prank, from which they always try to distance themselves when things go awry.

Myrtle the Turtle – A male turtle who is an outcast. Despite his appearance, he likes planning to take over the world but never succeedes at it. Whenever he does plan to take over the world, it usually ends up helping Maurice and Peckus with the current situation. He’s like Rodney Dangerfield with a shell.
