User:ScreamingDuck/sandbox/List of Granitoons characters

This is a list of characters that appear in Andrew Morrice's famous Granitoons comic book series.

Trivia

 * Most of Morrice's characters are mainly either animals or other supernatural beings. The main human characters are Farmer Giles, April, May and June.

Stan the Crow
The series' first character to be introduced, Stan is always involved in rivalries with Farmer Giles. He has a bunch of pals, including Sheryl, his somewhat girlfriend, and Lonnie, the hillbilly-type crow.

Lonnie the Crow
A hillbilly, one of Stan's friends, who is a nice, warm-hearted bird, but is daft-as-a-bat.

Astro Cat
A cat space ranger who appears in his own TV show in the Granitoons world. Outside the studio, he is engaged to the admirable Hot Dog. Astro Cat has a sidekick, going by the name of Lieutenant Ashlyn.

Hot Dog
As her name suggests, an attractive dog with large red lips and human features who is in love with Astro Cat. She speaks like Mariella Frostrup. One of the more sexy characters in the series, along with April.

Farmer Giles
His name is probably based on J.R.R. Tolkein's character from the fable Farmer Giles of Ham. He dislikes Stan the Crow and often concocts plans to blow the bird to bits with his shotgun. He has a slightly naïve friend called Farmer Den.

Cedric Snide
The main antagonist in the series, he is a werewolf who wears an eyepatch and often teams up with his sidekick Arthur Snout to cause trouble for the other characters by robbing banks, crashing parties, blowing safes open, etc. His surname, Snide, means "Derogatory or mocking in an indirect way".

Arthur Snout
Snide's Cockney sidekick who tries to help in his villainous escapades, but often fails. He wears a light green jumper and a pink hat.

April
The self-appointed leader of the "April, May and June" trio (based on the Three Stooges), she often engages in the plots, resulting in a lot of laughter. She is a brown-haired lass who wears a blue T-shirt with a red circle on it.

She is the only member of the trio without a superheroine alter-ego; she plays "April A. Anderson" a greedy and selfish business woman who parodies the Marvel character J. Jonah Jameson.

May
Part of the "April, May and June" trio, she is the most sensitive and over-exaggerates her name all the time. Her superheroine alter-ego is "Boob Shield".

June
Part of the "April, May and June" trio, she rarely speaks and is a no-brainer at times. She wears a blue hat and dungarees. Her superheroine alter-ego is "Blunder Woman".

Dya
A toddler rabbit who speaks with a lisp and is always demanding sweeties, driving her parents, as well as her big brother, to insanity.

Dya's Family
Dya's parents always give Dya what she wants, and rarely discipline her. Her brother is a football fanatic and speaks with a Northern accent.

Colin Deadgrave

 * An overweight, one-eyed zombie who likes to rise from the dead to feast on food served by Chef Fibula the skeleton. His name is a pun on the English actor Corin Redgrave who died in 2010.

Chef Fibula

 * The skeleton chef of Creepbury Close, he speaks with a phoney French accent and despite making such delicious meals never gets to taste them. His No. 1 customer is Colin Deadgrave.

Mummy Dearest

 * A mummy (hence her name) who treats her son Mummy's Boy like dirt. Her catchphrase is "Get rid!"

Mummy's Boy

 * Mummy Dearest's son, who always fails to please his mother.

Eldritch the Hell-Hound

 * The resident hound of Creepbury Close, he originates from Hell and often tries to chew on Chef Fibula the skeleton and pee on Douglas the tree.

Douglas

 * The wise old tree of Creepbury Close's park, everyone at Creepbury Close (apart from Mummy Dearest of course!) seeks him out for advice. Eldritch the Hell-Hound likes using him as a peeing spot.

Taffy the Fire
The campest dragon in the land, according to Morrice, and is the title character of his own series of strips.

Sir Mount
Resident knight who goes to great lengths to slay Taffy the Fire, and often teams up with Sir Lustalot.

Sir Lustalot
An evil knight (Granitoons' answer to the Dark Knight), who, hence his name, has a strong sexual desire and reads pornographic magazines.

The King
A short king (in both temper and height), he is married to the Queen and is the father of Princess Stacey.

Hayley Russell
Morrice's other half. She is a cartoonist as well and she too has a deviantART account complete with her own characters. She appears in some of Morrice's sketches as Hayley Hare, while Morrice is Andy Axylotl.

Mark Appleyard
Also known as "BluebottleFlyer", he is another of Morrice's deviantART pals. He hosts the Snowboard Cross Contest, which takes place every year between January and February. His characters have made cameo's in Morrice's sketches.

Maynard
A frightening puppet character from the American kids' TV show Peppermint Park, who takes May's place in "April, Maynard and June" after May furiously storms out of the comic due to April whacking her and June on the heads with a saucepan. He dislikes the treatment April subjects him to, and it's the last straw for him when she makes Maynard wear May's pink and white sweater. He turns vicious and attacks April as June takes a picture of the drama.

Later, Maynard has most likely been sacked as April is in bandages and is surprised when she hears June talk. May returns to the group, but June is about to go for a holiday, and is replaced by another PP character, in this case mayonnaise-adoring Ernie.

Victor and Hugo
The so called 'Bunglers in Crime' who appear in the Cosgrove Hall TV series of the same name. They are two of Morrice's favourite characters and both appear in his Favourite Characters submission.

Fred Flintstone
The protagonist of the TV series The Flintstones, the most well-known of Morrice's favourite characters.

Avenger Penguins
The three title characters of the TV show of the same name; Marlon, Bluey and Rocky try and save Big City from the clutches of Caractacus P. Doom. All episodes of the series have been uploaded to YouTube by Morrice.
