Mutt



Geoffrey Alan Perlmutter was created specifically for a webcomic... and he knows this. He and his best friend, Octavius Xailenrath Jr, aka "Ozzie" are the sidekick and protagonist, respectively, of a webcomic that they were attempting to build from the inside out. Though they both practice selective obliviousness to their situation so as not to be annoying, or, even annoyED by their own existence, every now and again, they will step out of their reality's Fourth Wall to comment on its various goings-on.

Though Mutt is slightly annoyed at his sidekick status - shorter than Ozzie with a kitcschy style and cutesy nickname and gimmicky hat, even having to go so far as to be the GAY sidekick - he and Oz have decided to deliberately eschew all the dumb comics stereotypes that could potentially make their lives a living hell.

'Gaming the system' so to speak, Mutt is sometimes more than happy to step back and let Ozzie take the brunt of comics tropes that generally befall the main character, though, he is always ready, willing and able to help his pal out of any screwy jam they find themselves into, and always makes sure that there will be something in it for him when all is said and done.

Though initially pissed at having to be the "weird sidekick", Mutt has, eventually, learned to love it. He currently has a closet full of 'puppy hats' that he has "cos-crafted" himself, as well as dog collars in various colors with tags and charms for any occasion. he has totally leaned into his branding.

-Every now and then, Ozzie and Mutt decide that they want to re-edit their world/comic to be more modern and/or stylized. Their look tends to change. For instance, when they were first created, they were four-fingered cartoons. They decided to be a bit more realistic, and they drew themselves 'normal' 5-fingered hands.

Recently, Octavius Xailenrath, Sr. - Ozzie's in-comic father, and the cartoon avatar of The Cartoonist - has gone on a rampage, devouring the hearts of some of his cartoon counterparts, including his 'son', Ozzie, and absorbed their aspects. Mutt was last seen in the pages of the comic, Octopus Ink, hiding out in Webcomic Limbo with his other friend and co-star, Jujubee Brewster, to avoid his own destruction.
