![]() ![]() Drives Like Crazy: Of the two brothers, Nip is definitely the worst driver, not helped by his Thrill Seeker attitude, which means he tends to roar around at top speed and try to pull off crazy stunts.Fortunately, fate intervenes and he finds himself on the road to being a professional stunt man. Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: Downplayed, but after the Harvest Dance, with Tuck hooking up with Thelma and having been shut down by Beebee because her then-beau Gus Gunthry has a pretty well-paying job, Nip finds himself questioning what he'll do with his life.Chess Master: Nip is capable of coming up with surprisingly far-reaching, complicated plans to achieve goals he desires, be it a simple prank or to achieve a greater good.Then repeated again when they get married in strip #907, with Nip and Zelda getting their own Relationship Upgrade from "dating" to "engaged" (married offscreen) in the very next strip. Relationship Upgrade: Thelma and Tuck go from "swooning girl, rejecting guy" to the Official Couple in strip #204, after a Big Damn Kiss in strip #199.Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Generally, Tuck is the sensible, down-to-earth, solid, workaday man, whilst Nip has been running around doing stunts out of Jackass all his life.Tuck is pursued (and ultimately caught) by Thelma the possum, whilst Nip tries to ask the Pop's Auto Girls out on dates, and ultimately hooks up with Zelda Porcupine. Interspecies Romance: Neither of the foxes is shown having an interest in vixens.Outright invoked in strip #257, where it's stated that most of Malarkey County's toughs and roughnecks avoid picking fights with the brothers, likening it to picking a fight with your weight in rabid weasels. Push their buttons, though, and they can get mean. ![]() Beware the Nice Ones: Normally, they're both fairly laid-back, easy-going types.The Alleged Car: Zigzagged with Daisy, the Todd Brothers' jeep, which is initially presented as an absolute wreck when Nip buys it in strip #40, but which is ultimately patched up and made into a hard-running, reliable workhorse of a car.Don't let their different demeanors fool you the Todd brothers are a tight-knit duo, and those that cross them learn the hard way why it's not a good idea to cross them. Twin fox brothers, they couldn't be more different if they tried, with Nip being a rather reckless fool that gets into countless shenanigans while Tuck is the more down to earth, sensible one. The good ol' boys that headline the comic. ![]()
