Disclose Notes: Grandpa appears in Herbie #3, #18, and #22 and is one of many characters who happen to look just like Herbie. Because Herbie has lookalike ancestors on both parent's sides, it is unknown if Grandpa is Herbie's mother's or father's father.

Disclose Notes: "Plop, plop, plop" is how he is described walking down stairs. Later: "he plodded heavily up into the air, stifling a yawn. Plop, plop, plop -- that was he trudging through the sky." The story contains details on the properties of different flavors: "Orange. Okay for sudden death. Lemon. Best for mayhem. Lime. For large elephants or small dinosaurs. Chocolate. For riots and public disturbances. Grape. Best for giants and runaway horses. Butterscotch. For rebellious armies.... Cinnamon -- for bopping tough mountains!". Last of three text stories in Herbie comics.
