Billy, or "Junior" as he is usually called, is a crocodile, the son of Larry and Patty, the grandson of Larry's Mom and Dad and the nephew of Larry's Brother, and is also a vegetarian. He was first introduced in the Pearls treasury Pearls Sells Out, as a misunderstood disappointment of a son, mostly due to the fact that he was vegetarian. Most of the old comics Junior would be in, it would go like Larry hears or sees someting from his son which makes him annoyed or disappointed, one time Larry even accused Junior of doing drugs. Even though Patty and Larry disaprove of Junior's diet they still love him as when Zebra's family comes over for Christmas, Patty doesn't lash out or try to eat one of them (unlike what Larry did to Uncle Pete), and when Junior goes to elemantary school, Larry tries to tell him not to go so they can play together, hell when Junior has to go to boarding school, Larry tries to go and live with him.

Personality[]

As opposed to the rude, loud, and somewhat idiotic nature of other crocodiles, Junior is thoughtful, intelligent, and kind. In fact, he appears to be one of the smartest and articulate crocodiles in the entire strip. His idols are icons of peace such as Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.

Much to the chagrin of his mother and father, Jr has decided to become a vegetarian for ethical reasons, dates a zebra named Joy, and might have affiliations with PETA.

Relationships with other Characters[]

Larry[]

Junior is Larry's son. Despite Junior going to school, dating a zebra named Joy, and being a vegetarian, Larry loves Junior, despite his many "faults". Junior also loves his father, and panicked when the Killer Dolphins supposedly ate Larry, though Patty was celebrating, and the members of Zeeba Zeeba Eata were stealing their possessions. But unlike his father, Junior does not speak Croc-ese, which is similar to his mother.

Joy[]

Junior has a crush on Zebra's niece, Joy, despite the fact that Larry and Patty disapproved. When Patty found out about this, she told Larry: "If you would have eaten him like a normal crocodile, none of this would have happened!" To this Larry responded: "But me love him." At this, Patty beat Larry up. This might imply that Larry had eaten Junior's siblings, as crocodiles usually have more than one child at a time, or that Patty was referring to him not eating Zebra and Larry stupidly misunderstood it to mean eating Junior. Junior and Joy tried to bring the families together at a Christmas party, but every one let Larry alone with an uncle, then came in with a covered platter. It turned out that it was KFC chicken inside, because he knocked out the zebra with a "Key of Friendship" that he had earlier obtained, but he was to fat to throw onto the barbeque, so he ended up eating one of his legs raw.

Patty[]

Junior is Patty's son, but she wishes that Larry had eaten Junior when he was young. She is shown to love her son, although she abandons him and Larry occasionly when Larry does something embarassing, such as being on Jeporady.

Zebra[]

Zebra is a good friend of Junior and have done many activities together, like Football
