Character description

Harry is middle-class American worker likely in his 40s-50s. He is overweight and has a bald head, save for a few strands of hair. His work attire usually consists of a brown suit with dress shoes and a tie.

An old stick-in-the-mud, Harry's political stances fall under post-World War II conservatism. He mainly disagrees with his two elder kids, Chet and Alice Boyle; both of whom are counterculture in nature.The other child of the three who agrees with Harry is Jamie, a young penny-pincher. Despite their back-and-forth arguing, he, the kids, and his wife Irma are able to aside their differences and be happy altogether.

Harry is also a next-door neighbour to Ralph Kane. The former is the more skeptical of the two, as he is often confused by, and raises objections to Ralph's far-fetched conspiracies. Essentially, he is the anthesis to Harry; as Dale Gibble is to Hank Hill.
