Charles Ruttheimer III: Difference between revisions

<br><br><br><br><br><br>Very little was ever revealed about Charles's personal life, as he was a secondary character founded on a stereotype, one of many comic relief devices used in the series (see also the characters [[Kevin Thompson]] and [[Brittany Taylor]]). His mother only appeared once in the entire series (in "[[Legends of the Mall]]"), and this was a ''faux'' flashback to illustrate an urban legend of [[Lawndale]]. The character portrayed as Upchuck's mother may or may not bear any resemblance to Upchuck's "real" mother and was never given a name in any case.

From both the "III" attached to his name and ''[[The Daria Diaries]]'', we know his father's name was [[Charles Ruttheimer the Second|Charles]] too. In [[Malled]], there is the implication that his father is rich; ''Diaries'' has his father as a businessman with "associates" who spent time overseas, confirming his wealth. Upchuck borrows his dad's credit card in "Malled" but manages to piss him off in "Diaries" by recording comedy answering messages on the house phone.
