Spanky (California City)

Spanky is an anthropomorphic poodle who appeared as the main character in Troubled Poodle. He easily becomes hated by pretty much everyone in Narrow Alley with the exception of Lapis and Leon Lapis notably due to him uncontrollably passing gas after eating high fiber yogurt at Leon Lapis's house. He stays there in the neighborhood for the whole day before leaving, though he comes back the next morning with foul breath, which impacts those around him.

Lamar's house ends up being impacted the worst to the point he ends up sleeping in his garage and only going in the house with a gas respirator and a hazmat suit. He and his friends Levi, Dolo, Sean, Tyler, and Lapis also normally hang out in the living room on the couch, but are instead forced to hang out in the garage until the house is freshened up again.

Appearance
Spanky is light grey in color with slightly darker ears and top hair and his tail end. He is slender and wears a red t-shirt and plain blue shorts. While completely original, he is virtually identical to the common poodle enemy in Cow Tiller in terms of appearance, albeit slightly taller.

Personality
Spanky only appears in Troubled Poodle and is not part of the general series overall, but he is soft-spoken, laid back, upbeat, warm, and friendly anthropomorphic poodle who explores places to get out of his house. He drives an orange 1997 geo metro, which he leaves unattended at the Pizza Hut near Janee's house and eventually gets towed.

In addition to his laid back personality, Spanky never loses his cool throughout the episode, no matter how dire the situation is. He didn't care when his car got towed, as he wasn't paying attention to it. He is almost always happy even during the most depressing times, and he remained happy even when Junichiro angrily yelled at him in his car, and he often starts extremely long conversations when he talks to someone, which almost never end.

Leon Lapis
The first person Spanky came across was Leon Lapis, who allowed him into his house. Leon Lapis is the only person who does not have a hatred for Spanky in the episode aside from Lapis, even after the next few days in the episode.

Junichiro
Junichiro doesn't care too much to Spanky, but later at Junichiro's workplace, Spanky farts and accidentally creates a whirlwind after turning on the ceiling fan, which pushes Junichiro and everything in it down the stairs. After leaving the site, he is seen driving irritated and yells at Spanky that if he would continue the job, he didn't want to hear another fart out of him. He farts anyway and the two end up crashing after Junichiro gags.

Lamar
It has been made clear that Lamar hates Spanky the most out of all the other characters in the episode. This is given the fact that the next morning, Spanky goes over to Lamar's house to hang out, but ends up stinking the entire house while watching TV with his bad breath, forcing Lamar and Lamar's friends to hang out and make home in the garage. Lamar hates Spanky more than his friends considering that this is at his house and he usually tries to keep it clean.

Y Levi
Spanky gets along with Levi very easily when he visits Lamar's house, but as Levi is at Lamar's house, he starts to develop a slight hatred for him, most notably for being too happy all the time.

Dolo
Spanky gets a long with Dolo very easily when he visits Lamar's house and while he develops a hatred, it is not as tense as Levi's. Both Dolo and Levi have similar hatreds towards Spanky, but unlike with Levi, Dolo only hates him for his poor hygiene.

S Sean
Sean is easily annoyed and even frustrated towards Spanky, and he loses his temper at him very quickly. Even so, Spanky still remains happy and doesn't care, in which case Sean locks himself in Lamar's garage to hide from him. Despite getting more angry at Spanky than Lamar does, Lamar still has the most hatred out of all five characters at his house even though Lamar has much better control over his temper than Sean does.

Lapis
Spanky and Lapis have known each other since the start of the episode. He never develops a hatred towards Spanky, but is irritated by his bad breath.

Creation
Kirti Mang created Spanky to be a humorous character. Mang had been thinking about doing an episode based on his favorite scene from the Cleveland Show episode Gone with the Wind, as well as the first part of the Family Guy episode Finders Keepers.

One of Mang's friends who works at Revolver Media suggested a poodle character named Spanky. Spanky is an entirely original character made up by Mang, though he is closely identical in appearance to the poodle enemy from Cow Tiller.
