15 Fictional Characters I wish were real life friends of mine: 3 of 15
13. Gleep and Gloop from the Herculoids
There are times when I value silence in my friends (in other words once in a while I wish they would shut the hell up) and Gleep and Gloop don’t really say much. Plus they are like walking marshmellows with eyes and a mouth. I kind of always liked that look for being a comic character I can actually draw myself. I was a fan of Shmoo too but he never shut up. Gleep and Gloop have a flying dragon they can ride around on and if there is a cooler means of travel short of a transporter I don’t know what it is. I kind of see these guys hanging around my crib like animated bean bag chairs and nodding or making agreeing noises every time I say something pithy. Plus I figure if I hang around with them long enough I’ll be able to solve the mystery of whether they are husband and wife, brothers, sisters, father/mother and son/daughter, or for that matter what sex they are anyway. It’s those sorts of questions that keep me up at night.
Why would Gleep and Gloop want to be my friends? Duh. They are walking talking skinless marshmellow chicks. I think they would be thrilled to be friends with anyone with a skeletal system.
