The Cramp Twins - Major Characters

Major Characters

• Dirty Joe Muldoon: An middle-aged man who lives in a trailer and Wayne's friend. He is an unseen character (except for a hand and part of his clothes). According to an episode, he has never bathed or showered in his life, but he showers for the first time in his life when he comes to live with the Cramps.
• Walter Winkle: Mr Cramp's boss and Wendy's father. He owns the city's soap-producing factory. He is a very unlikeable man who practically owns the town, since many of the residents work for him and don't dare to cross him. The only person he obeys is his spoiled-brat of a daughter. He is (as is hinted in many episodes) the brother of Mr. Parson and therefore descended from the swamp.
• Hillary Hissy: Hillary (Miss Hissy) is Wayne's, Lucien's, Wendy's and Mari's oversized teacher. She hates Wayne and she is a friend of Dirty Joe. They were thought to be dating once, but it turned out she was only tutoring him. Miss Hissy has also been shown to have a crush on Mr Cramp (Wayne and Lucien's father). She is very unlikeable and her teaching methods usually involve bullying her students. Her catch-phrase is "toute suite". In one episode it is revealed she was a Karate expert and does Martial Arts. She owns a long stick with bells on it (called 'The Crank') and threatens students into behaving by shaking it in an aggressive manner, inevitably to hit them.
• Seth Parsons: Toni's dad and a swamp person. He and the Parson family live near the swamp. His wife is Lily (who did not appear until later episodes). In episode three, "The Bad Seed", it is shown that, in the western era, he was the outlaw Bad Seed's sidekick Little Hat in his childhood (he looked like and was the same size as Toni, Little Hat wears a cowboy outfit and has a hat that covers his head, The Bad Seed wears a cowboy outfit and a mask). It is also shown The Bad Seed is someone who looks like Lucien - possibly Mr Cramp or an ancestor of the Cramps.
• Mr. Pretty: A "friend" of Wayne and Lucien's. He is also known as a bully (his mom bullied Dorothy Cramp, his father bullied Horace Cramp). In the European version he is the overly peppy principal of the school, whose methods to an extent annoy the Cramps. He is often quick to blame Miss Hissy for his own incompetence.
• Lillian "Lily" Parsons: Seth's wife and the mother of Toni and his siblings. Lucien once had a crush on her, much to Tony's annoyance.
• Horace Phelps: Mari's dad. He worked as a barber in his first appearance and then as the vice principle of the school (he is neither in the European version, instead an optician).
• Principal Earlington Richard Quartermaine: Earlington is the principal of the school and Hillary's boss. He was Mrs. Phelps' ex-boyfriend. He is absent from the European version, and has never appeared.
• Agent X: is a mysterious cleaning agent. There is evidence to support he is an undercover spy, e.g/ he gave Mr Cramp a suitcase containing "spy protection gear". Episode 'Alien Glow' also suggests he is an alien.
