Character
Doughy Latchkey (born February 14, 1994) is Orel's best friend. He is very God-fearing and always tries to look out for Orel, though he usually just winds up following Orel's lead. He is very fearful and not very bright; as a result, he is often indecisive and consistently fails to stand up for himself when pressed (such as by letting Orel and Joe throw rocks at his dad's car). In "Courtship", Doughy's home life was revealed. His parents are a red-headed (stereotypical) jock father, and a blonde (stereotypical) cheerleader mother, who act like immature teenagers. Most likely it's possible they had him young. Orel seems to be the only one who notices the difference between how his own parents treat him and how Doughy is treated by his parents. He points out that Doughy's parents never call him "son" or give him affection. His last name, "Latchkey," is a reference to the neglect Doughy suffers from his parents, who, being very affectionate toward each other, usually pay Doughy cash to get out of their hair, lock him outside the house and hide the key so they can have sex without their son around. He has never been seen without his beanie and has rapid mood swings from despondent to cheerful. In Trigger, it was revealed that he has a gift for marksmanship, evidently stemming from his belief that he and his actions don't matter. He tried to be part of Orel's family, only to be used to get Orel to shoot better and Clay throws Doughy aside. He was last seen getting hurt in Hurtball in Honor.
Before Orel
Doughy's featured in the special Before Orel, depicting Orel's beginnings. Young Doughy meets and befriends Orel, Tommy , and The Other Guy. At first, the group is very warming to one another and take a liking to Orel. But due bad parenting, Orel's very naive and too trusting. When Orel falls and hurts himself, the trio realize how easily manipulated he is when they convince him that he didn't hurt himself. Doughy and the boys, unintentionally become something of bullies to Orel. Doughy, appears to be the only one who isn't fond of the tricks as he doesn't laugh when the others call him names or get him to hurt himself.
Orel's brought back from his grandfather's to meet his new baby brother and to be taught about God. However, he's left greatly confused due to Reverend Putty 's, Miss Censordoll 's, and Clay's bad teachings. Orel is taught to believe he must show his faith, like in the story of Abraham and Isaac. This doesn't help much when Doughy and the other kids go along and encourage him to follow along with the story.
Orel is stopped just in time by his grandfather and Officer Papermouth . But Doughy's injured during this, as its shown the knife hit him in the forehead. Although Doughy survived, it could explain why Doughy's slow capabilities with learning.
Family and Relationships
- Kim Latchkey
- She is Doughy's mother. She tends to ignore him and/or tries to get rid of him so she can talk on the phone and have sex with her husband. It is shown in the episode "Trigger" that she is less mean to him than Karl but still she shows no signs of affection towards him.
- Karl Latchkey
- He is Doughy's father. He is usually annoyed whenever he sees Doughy, or if Doughy is mentioned. Whenever Doughy tries to talk to him he cuts him off. He also gives him money so he won't hang around the house. Because of his poor relationship with his father, Doughy resents fathers and sons who bond. In "Trigger" he tried to make it so that Clay would take him on the hunting trip instead of Orel, and in "Courtship" he fell in love with Ms. Sculptham just because she called him "son".
- Orel Puppington
- Orel is Doughy's best friend. He spends more time with him then anyone else on the show. He usually tries to talk Orel out of his ideas, but ends up going along with them. Despite betraying him in "Trigger" the two have a very strong friendship.
