Relationships
Ed is the husband of Bev Bighead, and Bev is the only character in the series that can turn Ed from mean to downright terrified. Bev has the strength to stand up to Ed, and this makes her quite a powerful figure. Indeed, she is probably the most powerful figure for Ed, because anyone else who Ed torments never does anything to stop it. Therefore, the other characters, particularly Rocko, are always under his control. He does not have many friends and is disliked by many, but appears to not be bothered by this.
He is also mean to his own son, Ralph, who creates a show called "The Fatheads," which his parents feel make a mockery of them. Ralph also becomes a cartoonist instead of following Ed's footsteps at Conglom-O; furious, Ed says, "I have no son." This was the subject of one episode. The two of them later reconciled after Ed found out how much money Ralph makes.
