Conky is a ventriloquist dummy owned by Bubbles. When the boys were in Grade 6, Julian and Ricky had to confiscate Conky in when its personality began to overpower Bubbles' own -- telling him what to do and so forth -- and so they threw him in a nearby swamp. However, Conky was revived when Bubbles was afflicted with an infected tooth, and refused to go to the hospital. Julian surmised that the only 'person' he would listen to was Conky, so they rescued him from the swamp. Indeed, Bubbles began to take advice from Conky, but soon enough Conky moved out of Bubbles' control, to his own detriment.
