Trope List

 * The Ace
 * Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Off Cheese.
 * Instant Expert: Subverted. Off Cheese is worried he'd be this and take over his job. Instead, Scum Gum takes the time to stop and ask Cranky about how things operate at the docks, and becomes an expert gradually.
 * Named After Somebody Famous: His name comes from his basis, H.K. Porter.
 * Nice Guy: He's very kind and affable, even helping Rotty Pop get over Choc N' Chip's teasing in "Gone Fishing".
 * Off-Model: Much like Toasty Pop, he has shrunken from his original basis. While this was done to make his loading gauge in line with Shopville's, it leaves his buffers too short and doorway too narrow.
 * The Perfectionist: Can be this at times.
