Ricky & Stick - Cast of Characters

Ricky & Stick main page

Ricky and Stick were best friends. They lived on the same street, and played together a lot. Ricky was a month older than Stick, and he always told Stick that this made him a lot smarter.

     

Their parents could not quite understand why Ricky and Stick got into trouble so often. It seemed that they always started out with great ideas, but somehow, one thing let to another, and the ended up behind the eight-ball most of the time.

     

Other children lived in the same neighborhood as Ricky and Stick. There was one boy they called Mean Wally. Wally was really a pretty nice kid. But he was always criticizing them, which they thought was a mean thing to do.

     

Gloria lived in the next block and was in the same class as Ricky and Stick. Ricky was annoyed that she was such a better student than he was, since their teacher, Mrs. Perillo, was always praising Gloria.

     

Ricky and Stick had another friend, a boy named Bob. Bob was usually nice to Ricky and Stick, and he often tried to help them on their projects. But they seldom took his advice. Bob was older than Ricky and Stick, and his hair was white all over. They called him Coconut Bob because of his hair.
