The King

From Drawn Together Wiki

The King is Clara's father, and the source of all her bigoted beliefs. Just as Clara is based somewhat on Ariel from The Little Mermaid, the King seems to be based on Ariel's father Triton. He drives a carriage, sometimes while drunk (which, according to Clara's Evil Stepmother, is the reason Clara's mother is no longer around). His favorite activity is watching strippers, whose activities he always refers to as "the ballet"; in fact, his preoccupation with strippers made his relationship with Clara an emotionally distant one, since he always spent more time with strippers than he did with his daughter. He appears to have an incestuous interest in his daughter; in addition to being eager to see her strip, in "Dirty Pranking No. 2", he gives her a kiss that seems passionate rather than familial. He does not appear to be very popular in his kingdom, as he is always surrounded by boydguards. (Note: This character is not to be confused with the King of Insurance, a completely separate character from Foxxy vs. the Board of Education.)

The King is voiced by Jonathan Kimmel.

[edit] Appearances

Dirty Pranking No. 2: When Clara and Spanky are arrested for defecating on pizza, the King bails them out, but believing Spanky to be a corrupting influence on his daughter, he forbids her to see Spanky anymore. When he later discovers that Clara disobeyed his order, he threatens to take her off the show at once. However, before they can leave, another pizza is delivered; with Spanky's inspiration, Clara defecates on it, and though the King is disgusted, he allows Clara to stay in the house when he sees her laughing and having fun for the first time in her life.

Ghostesses in the Slot Machine: Clara takes up stripping in order to try to win the King's affection; though her efforts are initially unsuccessful, the King eventually tells Clara (and Foxxy) that he loves her after watching his daughter simulate lesbian sex with Foxxy on stage.

Alzheimer's That Ends Well: A flashback briefly shows the King as a young man, as he and several of his court servants stand around baby Clara's cradle before her Octopussoir makes them all vomit.
