## Backstory

Nothing much known about John Mitchell’s early life, but he however was gotten into fights in his middle school and won all of them before it burnt down and was the football team in his high school. He was married to Sheila before she divorced him, because of his careless personality to take care of his family and together they had one son: Calvin Mitchell. He is shown to not be a responsible parent to Calvin as he left his son in a fun fair to hook up with a ride instructor and forgot him at a soccer practice to see a movie and more.

He works at a local Bass Station for a current living; where he drinks the booze at the shelves, late at night.

In Toad Town Puckers, in the flashback of Calvin’s first wedding in 1994, he is was there drunk and saying he missed the whole ceremony, but Calvin say it wasn’t starting yet and say he and his friends are waiting for Warren G. McInnes, until John told his son that he saw Warren get into the wedding car with Calvin’s wife: Elaine and they took off when Calvin tries to get them.

Afterwards the first marriage didn’t work out, his son married an unnamed woman who didn’t bailed him that time and together they had one son: Logan Mitchell, who that John became a grandfather to however Logan’s mother left Calvin to a scuba instructor.

His son then marries Linda Mitchell the mother of Carl, then had two twin granddaughters: Carrie Mitchell and Sally Mitchell who had a good relationship with him.

## Appearance

John is described to be obese like his son Calvin. He has green eyes, a gray beard, a wrinkled face due to age and he has messy gray hair. He is shown to wear blue shoes, a blue shell and a necklace. In Toad Town Puckers, he is shown to have yellowish hair and beard probably the color before his current old age and he wear a black wedding suit in his son’s first wedding in 1994.

## Personality

The best way to describe John is him being a horrible person, husband and father. He is incredibly irresponsible as he almost put his son, Calvin, in the oven when he was a baby. He is also ignorant and ungrateful, as he barged in unannounced on Calvin's family when they were having dinner with Watson and continuously left his ex-wife Shelia to do the housework.

John is incredibly selfish as well, as he wasn't entirely sorry for ruining dinner, burning his own son's face, and more or most likely less the way he raised Calvin. This is also shown that he claimed to have sneaked into the house on thanksgiving to spend time with the family, when really it was just the food. He refused to admit this until an overworked Linda accidentally burnt everything and he then decided to leave. When Calvin called everyone out for being unappreciative, John was the only one to have not shown remorse.
