Junior Asparagus' dad is often the voice of reason in Bumblyburg. When Junior makes a mistake, his dad teaches him what he should have done instead. When the neighborhood kids get into trouble, Dad explains about how it's important to respect others. And when a giant space alien grabs his son and carries him to the top of the Bumblyburg water tower … well, then he loses it.

It's a little-known fact, though, that this good-natured, all-American dad also enjoys a good monster truck rally every now and then.
