Matt and I have become quite taken with Walter and Perry, characters from Cartoon Network’s TV show, “Home Movies.” Here’s an excerpt from an interview in which creator Brendon Small explains their strangely clingy relationship:

Robot: What’s up with Perry and Walter, who are they, why are they there?

Small: Who are they? What do they actually reflect, sociologically?

Robot: Yeah, who are these two kids who are so funny all the time, who have to be together all the time –

Small: They’re loving, they’re in love. Not necessarly that they’re gay, or in or out of any closet. In a child’s world, if you truly love somebody, it doesn’t matter at all. These two kids, I think would actually die for each other. And I think they’re probably the most happy of any of the other people. These kids are dreadfully honest to each other, which is something you didn’t realize kids are, and adults wish they could be. It’s funny, some people love Walter and Perry, they go crazy for them, but some people fucking hate them, get them off, get onto the next scene as quickly as possible. My dad hates them, he’s absolutely annoyed with them, but my mother loves them. But me and Jon Benjamin do the voices of Walter and Perry and we’ll probably go off for forty minutes in those voices and get the giggles ultimately and not be able to finish.
