The pudgy little wallaby star of Joe Murray's squash-and-stretch cartoon series, Rocko's Modern Life, always tries to do what's right. Sometimes he fails. Sometimes temptation turns him from the righteous path, but he tries. It's what makes him lovable, that and his wardrobe of Hawaiian shirts and his devotion to Spunky and Heffer, his dog and best friend respectively.
