Eric Tiberius Duckman, or simply just Duckman, is the eponymous character of Duckman: Private Dick/Family Man. The show primarily follows his life a year after his wife, Beatrice, died.
Character Info[]
Duckman is portrayed as a lazy, incompetent, self-serving, morally unscrupulous, sexual deviant. The fact that he is also remarkably clueless (as a both parent and detective) is very much a comic fodder for the character.
He is a widower; when his wife Beatrice died, she left their house to her sister Bernice, so as to ensure some sort of stable environment for her and Duckman's three children: Ajax, Charles and Mambo.
Though frequently taking his children for granted, Duckman honestly loves and cares for them.
He graduated high school in 1976, and is also a graduate of Don Galloway Detective School and has a detective license from Panama signed by Manuel Noriega.
Duckman is an Aries, born April 18, as revealed in With Friends Like These.
Duckman wears glasses which contain his eyes. They can be removed like normal glasses, taking his eyes with them. His glasses stay up, even though he has no ears (something that Cornfed once observed with fascination). He is the only main character to not have any clothes on.
Duckman has a multitude of catchphrases, including "What the hell are you staring at?", "Hommina hommina how wah", "Whatever" (whenever corrected by his kids) and his trademark scream of "D'wah!"
In "The Alien Revivals" Duckman and his family was going to turn Fluffy and Uranus into normal-sized which he uses the magic size-wand to turn Fluffy and Uranus normal! when Fluffy and Uranus turns into normal-sized bodies, The people came back and singed "Ready to Shout Hooray!" Then he puts an entire alligator in Uranus's throat and choked and his face turned purple and dies with a "Church Bell Sound"
In "Rocko's Family Man Life" In his mind, Fluffy had an accident when she wets herself on the floor and Bernice was shouting "Fluffy!!!!" when Fluffy stopped urinating herself, Bernice and Duckman cleaned the floor with a bathing towel to dry, and Bernice said "I'm sorry duckman! Hommina hommina how wah! It was an accident!" then Duckman said "Fluffy! You peed! I poked your forehead and it's all your fault!" then Fluffy said "I'm sorry Mr. Duckman!"
In "Duckman's 2nd Movie" He was in a car accident, Fluffy and Uranus fell into the water, His car screeched by King Chicken's truck and Gecko fell down and his blood screeched where he got hurt, during Gecko's funeral, Duckman and Cornfed were sad that Gecko died in an anime version
Also In "The Talent Show" Duckman and Cornfed was telling Iggy Catalpa to help decorate the stage for the talent show, When he goes to Fluffy and Uranus's house when Fluffy was back, Duckman said "DWAH!!! Fluffy!!! you're back!" then Fluffy said "Well! we weren't in your mother Bernice's wedding, we've got our cardboard rainbow suits ready!"
Character Conception[]
Duckman was originally created by Everett Peck as a leading character in his comic strips, meant to represent the disgruntled every day Joe. In these strips Duckman is much crueler and harsher, with very little redeeming qualities.
In these strips Beatrice was alive and Duckman had no problem with cheating on her or ogling other women. He also found his children to be nothing more then annoyances, and showed even less loyalty to Cornfed.
The strips description of Duckman's character was; The Duckman hangs on scratching out piss-poor living with his pard "Cornfed", his complaining Pig Friday. At home Duckman gets no relief. When he was ready for the magic show in The Talent Show
