"Boom," like a basketball hitting the floor! Yep, that's what I relate it too. Actually, a name like "Boom" sounds like someone who'd be really mean. You know what's funny? I always thought Wilt always had only one arm, that that's the way he was created. Why someone would want to create an IF with only one arm, I'll never know. But, eh, whatever. I like Wilt. He and Bloo are my fav. characters. [Even though their personalitys are VERY diffrent from each other. Eh, why bother liking two characters if thier personalitys are almost exactly alike? ] I'm so glad they created a nice character whose not perfect. Those characters are annoying. They're Mary-Sues/Gary-Stues. Which Wilt is not, thank goodness!

They're Mary-Sues/Gary-Stues. Which Wilt is not, thank goodness! I seriously don't think that Wilt was created that way, with only a stump for a left arm, an artificial eye, and scars on his face. Something awful happened to him after he was created, and there is a lot of evidence for this. He's been through a lot of really, really rough times before winding up at Foster's. He's pretty much overcome whatever past he has, but as you'd expect for anyone who's survived physical and emotional traumas, he does have some scars, both physical and emotional. On the surface, Wilt seems very confident and and "together", but in some episodes, especially in "Crime After Crime", he reveals some pretty deep problems, like his OCD-like behavior when it comes to following rules and proving how contrite he is for breaking them, no matter how ridiculous he finds them to be. It does make you wonder just what sorts of unpleasant things he's been through in the past, and makes ME, at least, admire him that much more that he can, most of the time, live some semblence of a normal life. And I would love, at least once, to see Wilt in a REAL basketball game, where he actually has to compete against others who's talents at least somewhat come close to his. We've never seen that-just him shooting baskets alone, with no opponents. It would be interesting to see just how competitive he can actually be, and I have a feeling that this situation might bring out a side to the Tall Red One we've never seen before, lending credence to the old saying, "Still waters run deep". pitbulllady

That would be a great episode. Something like "The Big Lablooski", maybe?

It would be kinda odd for a kid to create an IF with only one working eye, one arm, and scars on his face. I really have no take on what happened to Wilt before Foster's. But, I have one small take on his creator: He or she might have been obseesed with fallowing the rules. A very small snub of info I gathered, I guess, but, one snub more into getting my own idea on what happend to Wilt before Foster's! Um......ya..... It would be cool to see Wilt in a basketball game! And, the episode, instead of being called "The Big Lablooski" it could be called "The Big Lawiltski."

Fomalhaut, I remembered seeing a board about you or someone else missing the episode "Where There's a Wilt, There's a Way". I looked on my TV, and it's coming on at 1pm today or some time around there. I was going to come on here and tell you, but apparently it was on yesterday. Glad you caught it on TV. :-D

I believe this is the screenshot you were looking for: I've decided not to ask why.

You know, in that scene, I'd only really noticed the one foot that is in the foreground, and came to the conclusion that Wilt had only three toes on earch foot. Clearly, though, we can see that he has FOUR, but the really interesting thing is that his "big toe" is located further down on his foot, and sticks out somewhat, so that he has feet like an ape or a monkey, or an arboreal lizard! Now, you KNOW his creator didn't think of him that way; he just happened to turn out like that.

Maybe Wilt was made that way, maybe his creator was deformed and had self-image problems.

I think all of the characters, IF's and humans, are drawn with four fingers and four toes. The only exception I know of is Frankie; in "Squeakerboxxx", on the bus, there were two shots which seemed to show her with five fingers.

Not only: In House of Bloo's, when we see Mom holding the bags, clearly none of the FOUR fingers shown is the thumb; a bit earlier, when Bloo is holding the vase there is a short scene of Terrence holding Mac down: on his right hand, there are 5 fingers.
