"Porky" Cassidy
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Character Information
|
"Porky" Cassidy is a minor character in The Amazing World of Gumball. He is an employee at Joyful Burger who appears in the background, as part of a crowd shot or simply walking, occasionally with the sausage dog.
Appearance
Like Hot Dog Guy and Earl, the character is a large anthropomorphic hot dog, with very thin arms and legs. He is always seen wearing a pair of dark sunglasses.
Personality
In "The Castle," "Porky" appears to be quite easy-going, as he seems to only want to stay in the Wattersons' house to make a point: taking off his buns and acting as though this move is a shocking one, going against social norms, despite the buns only covering his back. He acknowledges that this is not very logical, but seems to be happy anyway.
Episode appearances
Note that prior to "The Hug," this character and his student counterpart were completely identical. The only way of telling them apart was from the characteristics of this specific character (for example, being in a group of adults or walking his sausage dog).
