## Barnaby B. Beagle

Barnaby as he appears in The Neighborhood Page

## Neighborhood Description

"**Barnaby B. Beagle** was the resident jokester who left his life on the farm to move to Home, of which he joked as being “The Big City.” Illustrated books noted he was an orphaned puppy that was adopted by "The Chicken that Crossed the Road", (comedically named Miss Beagle) which proved as motivation to be an entertainer. Similar sources noted Barnaby being able to preform a gaggle of tricks, such as juggling, balancing on a ball, and steadying large objects on the tip of his nose.

Wally was often depicted alongside him and illustrated pages noted that they were best friends multiple times. (Examples included skits in which Wally would typically paint Barnaby in silly poses or where Wally needed to learn something new.) They also shared characteristics with one another, such as color palettes, hearts on the sole's of their feet, and similarly designed outfits.

Many of Barnaby's segments were akin to stand up, often being met with booing, clapping, or having things thrown at him by his fellow neighbors. Barnaby’s middle initial was often rotated in terms of what it stood for. Old scripts cited that he had claimed it stood for blue, bark, bite, and buddy. It is assumed these are all incorrect. Within some illustrated materials, Barnaby is depicted with a tobacco pipe. Barnaby’s puppet was rotated between a live-hand puppet and a walk-around puppet, typically to keep him in frame with his much shorter neighbors."

## Appearance

Barnaby B. Beagle was an adult, anthropomorphic dog puppet. He had a rather large, overweight, and plushy build. His fur was light blue, with multicolored spots all over his body. He had floppy, dark blue ears. His eyes were rounded and downturned, with black pupils and orange eyelids. There was a dark blue spot on his right eye. His eyebrows were short and black. Barnaby had a round navy nose. His mouth was red with a pink tongue. The apples of his cheeks were also blue.

He had four fingers on each hand, like most of his neighbors, and three toes on each foot. The digital and metacarpal pads on Barnaby’s hands and feet were sky blue or teal (official material shows his pads in both colors), but were sometimes painted by Wally. His metacarpal pads were heart-shaped. Barnaby had a short tail.

He wore a multicolored vest with a black collar. He had a red tie around his neck, patterned with a dog bone and orange and yellow spots with teal border patterns. He wore a mini red top hat with a yellow band.

Barnaby was sometimes seen smoking a tobacco pipe.

## Personality

Stub*This article or section is a stub. You can help the Welcome Home Wiki by expanding it.*
Barnaby was the jokester of the Neighborhood. He was quick-witted, extroverted, and kind, and would socialize regularly with Wally and Howdy, particularly to crack jokes. His jokes were light-hearted and punny, and not at the expense of others.

## Relationships

### Wally Darling

Barnaby was Wally's best friend.  They were often depicted hanging out together in official media from the series and shared similar characteristics. Barnaby is also mentioned in Wally's character description from the website.

Barnaby was very polite with Wally and spent much time with him. Barnaby particularly enjoyed getting hotdogs from Howdy's store with Wally, in part because Wally would always give Barnaby the hotdog he had ordered. Wally usually gave his food or beverages to Barnaby so he could eat and drink them instead.

Barnaby taught Wally much of what he knows of life and emotions and seemed to trust and admire Barnaby in turn, listening attentively to his words.  Barnaby shared his jokes with Wally, and reserved for him his more benign jokes.

In the show, Barnaby's presence was often tied to Wally as well, searching for or talking to him. If they were together with other Neighbors, Barnaby was often the one talking. Despite this, he encouraged Wally to chat with or tell jokes to the Neighbors, putting in a good word for Wally at the same time.

Barnaby was also pretty affectionate and playful with Wally. He liked to softly bite Wally  and slobber on him occasionally, even fitting Wally's entire head in his mouth.  If Barnaby's antics warped the shape of Wally’s pompadour hairstyle, Barnaby would gently push back into shape, or lick his own palm and then smooth Wally’s hair out jokingly.

Barnaby was sensitive to Wally's emotions, and was able to tell when Wally was downtrodden, even through a smile. Barnaby is also the only character apart from Home who clearly noticed Wally spacing out and being unresponsive during one of the Dialogue Videos hidden around the website, expressing concern for him and attempting to lightly shake him back into his present space. Barnaby is the only character to make direct contact with Wally in this state.

Clown also mentioned that in any universe, Barnaby and Wally, will end up best friends.

### Miss Beagle

Miss Beagle was Barnaby's adoptive mother, taking him in when he was a puppy. He lived with her on her farm before moving to the neighborhood.

Miss Beagle and Barnaby shared some physical attributes. Both had the same colored spots all over their bodies and very similar patterning on their clothing.

### Howdy Pillar

Barnaby was Howdy's favorite and most loyal customer. Barnaby would appear regularly at Howdy's place and supply Howdy with a laugh in exchange for a hot dog. Barnaby often took Wally to Howdy's store and had a good relationship.

Howdy enjoyed Barnaby's jokes the most out of all of the Neighbors, each considering the other a formidable comedic force.  They would often riff off of each other's jokes, and share a genuine laugh.

Barnaby didn't mind hearing about Howdy's complex family tree, listening in earnest to understand and lighten the mood, sharing his own takes and experiences about his mother, Miss Beagle.

### Home

Since Barnaby spent most of his time with Wally, he also spent a considerable amount of time with Home, and enjoyed their conversations.

Barnaby would engage with Home as he would any other Neighbor, laughing and riffing jokes with it. Home would react actively by moving, opening and closing its doors and windows to imitate speech and laughter. Barnaby, just like Wally, seemed to understand Home with ease, including tonal expressions of emotion, and agreement and disagreement.

### Frank Frankly

Barnaby often teased and playfully angered Frank.  Frank was the perfect target for Barnaby's pranks, much to his dismay.   Barnaby sometimes even bit Frank's arms as a joke.  Frank and Barnaby had some sort of rivalry with one another, but it was mostly playful.

Frank seemed to only tolerate Barnaby, and found him and his puns annoying. He was not uncomfortable insulting Barnaby and called him things like "stinky".  He was confused about Barnaby's species as well, as he was not like any dog Frank knew about, and even accused him of not being a beagle, a dog or of him having a natural color of blue fur.  .

It is safe to say that Frank and Barnaby were not particularly close. But despite their small rivalry, Frank still liked to share his baking and passion for gelatin molds with Barnaby.

### Eddie Dear

Eddie and Barnaby were friends. Barnaby would often give chase to Eddie as he tried to deliver the mail as an attempt to get his packages faster. Barnaby would also play at being a smaller dog, asking Eddie to pick him up despite being several feet taller than Eddie. When Eddie succeeded at this, Barnaby was genuinely impressed and checked on him when Eddie collapsed in exhaustion after releasing Barnaby.

### Julie Joyful

Similar to Frank, Barnaby enjoyed teasing Julie to irritate and annoy her, but didn't enjoy Julie's jokes, finding them boring and predictable.

Julie enjoyed watching Frank and Barnaby interact, but would defend Frank against Barnaby's harsher jokes when Frank wasn't around.

Barnaby and Julie would still play together and he would indulge Julie's imagination, as with "Eddie's Big Lift". Barnaby blames Frank for dulling her taste in humor, but is open to teaching her how to properly make puns and be funny to his standards one day.

### Sally Starlet

Sally didn't seem to like Barnaby too much and usually tossed eggs at him,  as he often messed up her acts or didn't take them seriously. She didn't like to choose him for her plays.  She seemed to be annoyed at his constant puns, especially if they interrupted her.

He semi-lives in Wally's gym in exchange for his company, curry, and jokes. He also helps him run the Gym and trainers can choose to fight him before facing Wally, but he sometimes will act like he doesn't see the trainers so they're not forced to fight him. Sometimes he would make excuses to not battle with trainers and give them a dollar in compensation.
