Horace Bleakman

Mr. Horace Bleakman (voiced by Earl Boen) is the crabby next-door neighbor of the Howard family. He is married to Violet Bleakman. 
He tends to get impatient and is very grouchy, unlike his wife. Despite this, he does show moments of kindness.
==Appearance ==
Mr. Bleakman is elderly. He has gray hair and a pointy nose. He wears a yellow polo shirt, brown pants, brown shoes and glasses. 
== Personality ==
Mr. Bleakman is usually pretty cranky, but that's on the exterior. Even with his sour demeanor, Mr. Bleakman is a nice and caring person. Because of Clifford's size, he often becomes agitated with him and his companions. In one episode, he even persuaded Sheriff Lewis to ban dogs from the park, which he reversed after realizing that no one would visit without the dogs. Mr. Bleakman cares for his neighbors and the children of Birdwell Island, even if he doesn't always show it. He even assisted the children in becoming friends with their favorite singer. In later episodes, Mr. Bleakman has gotten slightly less cranky and is more friendly.
He has at least three hobbies: Painting, bird watching, and gardening.
==Trivia== 
*According to Clifford, he doesn't allow anyone on his property unless he invites them.
*He is based on Mr. George Wilson from Dennis the Menace.
*Horace doesn't appear in the reboot of Clifford.
*Despite his crabby personality, he does have a soft and kind side too. And even though he is annoyed by Clifford (Due to his gigantic size), he has shown affection towards him. 
*While he isn't in the live-action movie, Zac Tieran, the main antagonist, has a lot of traits similar to Horace, being that both are antagonistic towards Clifford. However, Horace, while definitely annoyed by Clifford and his antics at times, he is not a villain unlike Zac, who actually tries to harm Clifford by experimenting on him.
