List of Little Lulu characters

This is a list of characters from the comic strip and book Little Lulu.[1][2]

Main characters

• "Little" Lulu Moppet – The main character and Tubby and Annie's best friend. She is very smart, but stubborn and always initiates a battle with the boys to show that the girls are as good as them. Lulu is very creative and tells stories to Alvin to teach him a lesson with fun. She wears a red dress and hat and has long black curly hair.
• Thomas "Tubby" Tompkins[3] – Lulu's male best friend and her chief opponent in their disputes. He is the leader of the boys' club known as "The Fellers". He is relapsed and always forgets to pay the monthly fee or to fulfill the obligations and the boys often take him out of office. He's in love with Gloria, but she's never given him a chance. He has red hair and wears a white sailor's hat, a black collared shirt and light brown/orange pants, making his outfit very similar to a sailor's uniform.
• Annie Inch – Lulu's female best friend who is involved in most of Lulu's escapades and adventures. She isn't as smart, but she is a true friend who helps Lulu in her plans. Sometimes she is annoyed at everyone for no reason. Annie is Iggy's sister. She has short black straight hair and wears a blue dress (in the earlier years she wore a yellow dress).
• Iggy Inch – Tubby's male best friend and a member of the "Fellers". He is grumpy, mischievous and always doing tricks. Iggy is Annie's brother. He has a shaved head, and wears a white collar shirt and orange pants (in the early years, he wore an orange collared shirt and blue pants).
• Willy Wilkins – One of Tubby's friends and the strongest member of the "Fellers". He has short black hair and wears an orange cap, a green shirt, and orange knickers (in the early years, he wore a brown cap, a red shirt, and gray knickers).[4]
• Eddie Stimson – One of Tubby's friends and the smartest member of the "Fellers". He often creates the boys' plans against the West Side Boys. While one of the main characters of both the comic and TV series, Eddie plays a much more minor role in the anime series, appearing in only five episodes with no lines. He has short light blond hair and wears a blue whoopee cap, a red shirt, and blue pants.
• Wilbur Van Snobbe – The richest and most charming boy in town. He likes to be loved by the girls, but he is arrogant and petulant, being sweet only with Gloria. Wilbur has no friends, although he sometimes plays with the other kids. In the TV series however, he is portrayed as being less arrogant and more socially likeable amongst the other kids (though still occasionally prone to being antagonistic) and, in the anime series, he is even portrayed as being part of the "Fellers". He has curly blond hair and wears a purple suit (in the early years, he had red hair and a blue suit).
• Gloria Darling – The most beautiful girl in town. She is good with the girls, who love her, and seductive with the boys, who fall in love with her. In the TV series, Gloria is seen as one of Lulu's friends rather than a rival. She is richer than most of her class, although less than Wilbur. She has long, wavy blonde hair and wears a ruffled pink dress.
• Alvin Jones – Lulu's 6-year-old neighbor. He is mischievous, bratty and only stops tantrums when Lulu tells a story. He has red hair with a quiff and wears a white shirt and blue overalls.
• George and Martha Moppet – Lulu's parents. She's a great cook. He always is targeted by Tubby's pursuit as a detective.
• Jim and Ellie Tompkins – Tubby's parents.
• The West Side Boys – A gang of stronger, tougher bully boys from across town who are the rival club of the "Fellers" and always try to invade their club. The most frequently seen of the West Side Boys are Butch (the leader), Mickey, and Spike, while other individual members include Mike, Slug, Junior and Guggy.
