He was originally a hobo; Bloaty was lured into the restaurant with pizza and shanghaied as the mascot, before gorging himself to his current state. Sometimes he comments on his life, like "Bloaty hate his life", and has a very disgusting appearance. He is usually seen with children climbing all over him. He seems to detest his job. He only appeared in person in "Bloaty's Pizza Hog", but has made appearances in all of the Bloaty commercials, such as in "Gaz, Taster of Pork" and Issue 14.
