George is a recurring character from VeggieTales. He is the grandfather of Annie.
Bio
George first worked as a security guard for Mr. Nezzer's chocolate factory, then as a postman delivering mail for many places, including Dinkletown. He also told Bob, Larry, Junior, and Buzz Saw Louie about the birth of Jesus and the true meaning of Christmas. He also saved Nezzer from falling off the bridge to Puggslyville, and told his granddaughter the whole story.
He then portrayed himself as Clark Wayne to tell the story of Tom and Huck rescuing Little Jimmy.
Personality and traits
George is a very polite elderly scallion. He is shown to have a good relationship with Laura, calling her his "favorite" of the Chocolate Factory workers, and is very wise, teaching about the true meaning of Christmas.
He is also willing to help out the seemingly irredeemable of characters, such as when he helped Wally P. Nezzer (with the help of Bob, Larry, and Junior) from hanging off the broken bridge leading toward Puggslyville, thereby reforming him. He is shown numerous times telling stories throughout the original series.
