Newsie: Flipper
Actor: Brian Friedman
Flipper is a young Newsie who goes by many names.
He wears oversized clothing that are in mostly greys and purple. He has red suspenders under his vest.
He's been called Slider,
Blanket,
Crazy Legs (only acknowledged by the actor),
and Patrick.
But he's probably best known as Flipper because of his dramatic hair flips.
Flipper has three Newsie big bros looking out for him:
The first is Jake, who teaches him dance moves such as enthusiastic skipping and imaginary lassoing.
The second is Bumlets, who gives him hair styling and hair care advice.
And the third is Kid Blink, who always has a shoulder for him to lean on.
Bumlets shows the pecking order by pushing Flipper down a stair.
Flipper loses a sword fight to Les. The winner gets a head smoosh from Dave.
Round two goes on in the back. Who needs Dave, when you have three adoptive brothers of your own?
Without his three bros to guide him,
Flipper is picking fights,
getting dragged around by Crutchy,
climbing onto statues,
and passing out on the job from staying up past his bedtime reading the comics section of The World.
What do you call this Newsie? Personally I like Blanket the most, but I went with Flipper because it's the name he's commonly known as.
