About
Pogo Puddy is the caterer for the Whoop-Di-Doodle bakery! He specializes in making his customers' days brighter than ever by delivering them tasty sweets and treats! As a Jack of all Trades, he's an incredibly sweet and fun loving even if he's a little skittish.
Pogo is one of the main characters of Funny Business, a comic that follows the lives of three clowns and their elephant as they run the eccentric bakery "The Whoop-Di-Doodle". Grab a balloon, a banana cream pie, and join the silly antics of this family as they try to bring a smile to everyone they meet.
Character
Pogo is a very helpful guy! He can always be seen standing next to doorways because he's just too polite of person not to open them for an incoming crowd.
Now while he is gullible, he isn't at all a pushover. He is incredibly firm in his beliefs and refuses to do anything malicious. In fact, he is known to surprise many because of how quickly he can go from meek and skittish to taking charge of a situation.
Pogo is a Jack of all Trades, a variation of clowns known for their fun loving, mischievious, and artful personalities. While Pogo does embody these fundamentals well, he unfortunately had an....incident that happened a couple years ago. The Incident was so traumatic that it made him an anxiety riddled shell of his former self.

Story
Past
Pogo was born to Sugar Honey Ice Tea and Brownie. He was a natural Jack of All Trades and was very hyper. He was born missing a large portion of his lower legs, but didn't let that get to him. In fact, before his aunt Cookie made his pogo legs, he was known to run on his hands around the house. He had a very fun childhood, going to a school of the arts where he fostered a love for entertaining others.
Jack Days
When he was a teenager, he started to get into performing! He started with a few small gigs here and there such as school musicals or a promotional show for local buisnesses in his neighborhood. However, his talent was immediately recognized and he started doing bigger shows such as theatric performances and an hour long opening for a nation wide orchestra. Things only seemed to go up from there with no sign of stopping!
And then came The Incident
Pogo was doing a birthday party for one of the neighborhood kids. It was a beautiful sunny day just like all the summer days before it! Seeing the birthday girl in a decorated hat, Pogo went to go say hi in full Pogo spirit. And the kid......started to cry.
No one
Told him
She was afraid of clowns....
The Incident was truly traumatizing for Pogo and it sent him into an anxiety riddled shell of who he once was. He can't even make himself a cup of coffee without going through a long list of all the possible things that could go wrong! In fact, that's exactly what he would do. Coming up with every possible possibility of how the day would go would take the entire day, leading him to just go back to sleep. This seemed like it would never get better until the one day he was approached by his aunt's partner about a position at her bakery.
Present
Since that original job offer, Pogo has been working for Tootie as her caterer; he rides with Bertram to different venues in order to deliver the cakes that they need for their different venues. He likes being out the house and meeting new people. With each delivery, he feels as if he's getting the pep back in his step.
Trivia
- Neutral Good
- His pogo feet have hydrolic stilts enabling him to jump very high or metaphorically take over the world.
- Is incredibly clumsy when nervous
- Is an only child but has three cousins! Their names are Flim and Flam Neopolitan and Lemon Square. He loves them all but they can also be very frustrating.
- His hobby is tap dancing
Relationships
Frizzle Frazzle
Frizzle is very special to Pogo! She kind of reminds him of himself when he was younger! For that reason, he tries to be a good influence for her! This also means that he ends up getting involved in her schemes regularly, which he doesn't like. Despite that, he thinks she has a lot of great potential but needs to learn some self discipline.
Bertram
Pogo works directly with Bertram because of their jobs! He finds Bertram as a refreshing break from the, at times, overwhelming bakery. However, he can't help but feel like the elephant expects something from him after hearing about the life he used to lead before. Such questions make him nervous, but at the same time, he can't help but want to show Bertram how talented he is.
Miss. Tootie Pebbles
Pogo is really shocked that Tootie isn't a Jack of all Trades herself. She never fails to surprise him with her good nature and overwhelming positivity. He's thankful that she gave him the job and wants to work hard in order to impress her. Seeing all the others having fun makes him wonder if he can join in too.
Brownie
Brownie is Pogo's father. While other's might not understand him because of his seemingly stone faced exterior, Pogo knows him as his loving dad. He thinks his dad is overwhelming with character even though he's a man of very few words. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have such an appreciation for life's quiet little moments.
Sugar
Sugar is Pogo's mom! Like his father, he really has no clue where these two work other than in....businessy actions? All he knows is that this means that his mom is away a lot. However, that doesn't mean that he never gets to see her! She is very kind. playful, and never fails to remind him of all the exciting things there are to see in life. She also keeps reminding him that with his pogo legs, he could achieve the perfect height to take over the world! However, Pogo thinks that would be rude!
Cookie
Cookie is Brownie's sister and thus Pogo's aunt! She was the one who made him his pogo legs, which he is eternally grateful for! He loves seeing what his aunt is up to, even if they are at times very dangerous! He knows that she's the person to talk to if he ever needs something whether that would be advice, support, or a box full of live bees.
Lemon Square
Lemon Square is Pogo's cousin, and while he loves her, he thinks she's incredibly pretentious! You don’t need a reason to laugh and be happy! He knows she’s overthinking all of this due to her Mime nature, but when she starts getting into her condescending lectures, it REALLYjust cheeses him off!!
