Royal Dandy

The Royal Dandy is the self-titled subject of a painting on display at Fair City's art museum.

Background[]

It was first featured in "Lady Redundant Woman Gets the Blues," when the painting was being exhibited for the first time at the art museum, and Becky and Violet's art class went on a field trip to see it. However, the night before the field trip was scheduled, Lady Redundant Woman broke into the museum and attempted to steal the Royal Dandy, due to a customer at her copy shop stating he couldn't wait to see the art piece, and that he'd seen copies of it, but a copy of anything wasn't as good as the original.

Angered by the statement that copies aren't as good as the originals, Lady Redundant Woman copied the Royal Dandy painting and stole the original piece. However, it backfired when the Royal Dandy copy came to life and started making ridiculous and greedy demands, such as for Lady Redundant Woman to make a "horsie" copy for him out of a horse painting, and whines when he doesn't get his way. Royal Dandy ran amuck over the city for a while, being rude to most people he met, until he realized he needed some "mates" and went to see Lady Redundant Woman to get her to make him some friends. When she refused, he started throwing a temper tantrum.

WordGirl arrived and used the opportunity to define "greedy", but Royal Dandy, still very much irked, started "splosh"-ing blue paint onto everything in the copy shop, including Lady Redundant Woman's beloved copier. To add insult to injury, he even starting bouncing on the copier, which caused a completely enraged Lady Redundant Woman to feel at the end of her rope and erase the Royal Dandy copy from existence. At the end of the episode, Lady Redundant Woman was arrested and the original Royal Dandy painting was returned to the museum.

In "Royally Framed", he was accidentally brought back to life again. When he tries to get himself mates, he steals some knickknacks. WordGirl arrives, but he blames the crime on her. Whenever she tries to stop him, more crimes get pinned on her. WordGirl then is forced to team up with Lady Redundant Woman to clear her name. They make another copy of Royal Dandy, which the first Royal Dandy tells about his plan in front of City Hall. Then, Lady Redundant Woman erases both of the copies from existence again, putting an end to their crimes.

After his first appearance, the Royal Dandy painting (along with the painting that Dandy's horse came from) often makes appearances in the background at the museum. Its last appearance in the series is "Art's Parts", where it is among the artworks stolen by The Learnerer, and is destroyed by his "Art Analyzer" machine. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Royal Dandy will ever be brought back to life again.

Personality[]

Royal Dandy is spoiled, narcissistic and is often perceived as annoying. He also speaks with a distinct British accent. It has been shown he has little to no respect for other people or authority, e.g. stealing all of a lollipop peddler's wares.

Relationships[]

Lady Redundant Woman created Royal Dandy, but doesn’t acknowledge it. He was friends with a horse (also painted), but the horse didn't like him and ran off.

Voice[]

The copy of the Royal Dandy is voiced by Sergio Cilli, best known as a contributor to the Current TV series InfoMania. In his second appearance, Cilli was replaced by Paul F. Tompkins, who is best known for his appearance on Mr. Show.
