Wendell is Milo's cousin and nemesis. He and Milo are always competing against each other. Wendell loves to point out how much better he is than Milo at everything (due mostly to the fact that he is, as he never lets Milo forget, an eighth of an inch taller than Milo, but that is the only way he is superior to him). A bit of a geek, Wendell always looks for a mathematical and/or scientific way to gain the upper hand over Milo. He later invents his own superheroic alter ego, Commander Whooping Crane (He chose this name because Whooping Cranes are taller than Flamingos by a good eighth of an inch) who almost replaced Milo as the neighborhood hero until he got into trouble and had to be saved by CF. In the episode "Switch Hitch", where Milo and Wendell switched lives, Wendell seemed to have feelings for Lizbeth. Thankfully, however, these feelings were unreturned. Wendell's last name is revealed to be Howell in "Scrambled Legs".
Trivia[]
- Wendell's design is loosely based on the original design of Milo.
- Although, his face was deformed in The Last Stand, his face remains intact after this episode. This suggests that he had professionals (mostly medics) to ensure that his body is healthy.
