Bubbles (
Mike Smith) is Julian and Ricky's closest friend and the series' breakout character. His real name is never revealed. However, this name is used by hospitals, courts, and other officials. Bubbles is known for his hoarse
maritime accent, sensitive nature,
pearl snap shirts, and thick glasses that magnify his eyes to a considerable degree. In the episode "Propane, Propane", it is revealed that Bubbles would likely be considered legally blind, as he cannot see how many fingers are being held up directly in front of his face by a truck-driving instructor (who admonishes him for not being able to see "jack shit"). He often acts as a conscience for the Boys and tries to be the voice of reason during their various misadventures. Bubbles is very intelligent and has a larger general knowledge than most of the other residents, even displaying knowledge of
Greek philosophy.
Abandoned in the park as a 6-year-old, Bubbles lives in a
tool shed with his
kitties, who are his only family. Bubbles has taken it upon himself to care for every stray cat in the park. He makes his living by salvaging shopping carts, repairing them, and selling them back to the stores, but he is also quite happy to partake in the Boys' various get-rich-quick schemes. Although his life is not always easy, Bubbles takes great pride in being a self-made-man, and prefers his simple life of independence to any offer of free lodging from his friends. Bubbles has a rather childish nature and often cries when threatened or upset. He dislikes firearms and is often appalled at the dangerous situations that Ricky and Julian get themselves into. He loves cats,
bubbles,
pickled eggs, playing
guitar,
rigs,
badminton, rockets, driving his
go-kart,
model trains, smoking
dope, and wrestling; his wrestling alter-ego is the mysterious "Green Bastard" from parts unknown. His favorite band is
Rush.
