Marvin Finklehimer

Marvin "Bert" Finklehimer is a supporting character in The Amazing World of Gumball. He is an elderly man who is occasionally seen around Elmore.

Appearance
He is a short, round, and red being. He wears a little brown hat, and walks with a cane. He also has only three teeth and overly large eyes with brown pupils, and he is very wrinkly due to old age. His limbs are very flimsy and wavy, again, due to old age.

Personality
Marvin is a senior citizen who is usually seen with the rest of The Senior Citizens. He seems to be quite energetic for an old man, as he is seen teasing Anais with a biscuit in "The Responsible," but he is also quite frail, as most elderly people are. He can also be quite stubborn, as shown in "The Watch."
