Slinkman (a.k.a. Mr. Slinkman as referred to by some of the scouts) is a quiet, nervous banana slug in the fictional camp of Camp Kidney, which is in the animated series Camp Lazlo. Like a real slug, Slinkman is an invertebrate organism.

[edit] Biography

He went under the alias Boris, Lumpus' nephew.^[1] He knows the Bean Scout manual cover-to-cover, is loyal, kind, obedient and generally keeps the camp running despite Scoutmaster Lumpus' frequent hissyfits and constant laziness. Slinkman generally assumes a submissive role, doing nearly everything for Lumpus and obeying his every command. There have been a handful of situations where Slinkman stands up to Lumpus, such as when he wanted to go to "Slugfest" but Lumpus wouldn't permit it, until Slinkman went berserk and wrecked all of Lumpus' possessions, belched into the camp PA system, & licked Lumpus' hands, getting slug slime all over them. However, these instances are the exception, and are usually only when Slinkman's compliant, non-confrontational nature is pushed to the limit. Slinkman has to do a lot of things, but he does love kids, particularly those of Jelly Bean Cabin, and sometimes acts like one of them. He's a master at shadow puppets, complete with an imitation of Scoutmaster Lumpus, a good prankster, and is also a race car aficionado. It was discovered in Slugfest that Scoutmaster Lumpus actually enjoys hanging out with Slinkman since he has worked for five years under Scoutmaster Lumpus. In "Beans and Pranks", we find out that Slinkman has been pranking on Lumpus every June 9, because that is Slinkman's birthday and Lumpus forgets each year. As revealed in The Battle of Pimpleback Mountain, Slinkman hits Scoutmaster Lumpus with a full moon frying pan when he has his "episodes." Also revealed in Dead Bean Drop, Slinkman used to be a daredevil named Super Slug. He succeeded Dead Bean Drop, but fell and ended up in a time capsule with Lumpus and they were free in 2031 in the future with Chip & Skip, because of this, Dead Bean Drop should be considered non-canon. Also Slinkman was a Bean Scout with Lumpus 15 years ago. Slinkman apparently knows some wood gnomes which he plays poker with on Tuesdays and often uses them to scare the scouts, as shown during the credits of the episode "There's No Place Like Gnome/ Hot Spring Fever". In the first few seasons, Slinkman always carried around a clipboard, saying, "Yes Sir," almost everytime Slinkman was told by Lumpus to do something while carrying a clipboard. He later abandons it, and says, "Yes sir," less and less as the series progresses, eventually getting to the point of rarely saying it or not saying it at all. Slinkman can run as fast as all the other characters, and possibly faster, while ironically being a slug. He was a replacement for Jane Doe while she was away, and ends up having the same personality (like Lumpus) after him being treated unfairly by the Squirrel Scouts when they were in real danger, Slinkman realized he was behaving like Lumpus and after reverting to his normal self, saved Campkidney. Slinkman has a quote and he continually says, "Hey man how's it goin?" Lumpus gets aggravated because of this.

[edit] Trivia

• He is somewhat similar to the character Waylon Smithers from The Simpsons.
