He loves grocery shopping, as he expressed in #563: “Tuesdays with Wooton”.


Early life

He was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but moved to Alaska at the age of 10. In Out of the Picture, Wooton vaguely mentions a time in his life where he was having a real hard time at home, which led him to move to Odyssey. At 6 years old, the Bassett family was driving through Odyssey, when their limousine broke down near Whit's End. (citation needed)




Wooton is the mailman for Whit's End and a good portion of Odyssey, including Sycamore Lane, the home street of Wooton, the Washingtons’, the Rathbones', and the Straussbergs'. He once delivered to the McKays' street when a mail-lady named Wilma had an operation, in #573: “Back to Abnormal”. He often changes or veers from his intended mail route in order to help his friends, like in #487: “Plan B, Part 4: Resistance”, avoid certain people or animals (such as a cat in #628: “The Highest Stakes, Part 1”), or to save his time. His altered route has taken him through a pond where he needed a snorkel, a large group of bushes, and the zoo. A dog once attacked him on his mail route in #563: “Tuesdays with Wooton”. We also know that Wooton delivers PowerBoy comics on Tuesdays, as well as oil change coupons.


Comic Strip Writer and Illustrator

Wooton is the recently revealed creator of the PowerBoy comics that he loves so much, explaining why he is often mulling over obstacles that PowerBoy has to overcome. He now writes Captain Absolutely comics and is starting two new comic strips called Drake the Cosmic Copper and Sleuth Family Robinson.

Personal life


See Bassett family


Wooton also has a twin brother named Wellington who is the exact opposite of Wooton. While Wooton demonstrates a strong Christian faith, a love for everyone and a selfless desire to help people out, Wellington is cynical, greedy, uncaring and snobbish towards everyone, and has taken advantage of Wooton on several occasions. Nevertheless, in A Very Bassett Wedding, Part 2, Wellington tells Wooton that, despite their differences, he does care about him. He even shows some protectiveness over Wooton throughout the episode, when he thinks that an old lady took advantage of Wooton's naivety and picked his pocket while helping her. Wellington was Wooton's best man in his wedding. Wellington's daughter, Talia, takes kindly to Wooton.


Wooton's favorite cousin is Wilma Bassett, and has a relative named Chloe who milks giraffes.

Wooton is good friends with the family butler, Bradford, and enjoys spraying him with silly string. Bradford tells Wooton that he is like a son to him in Out of the Picture. He was also the one who told Wooton about Jesus.

Wooton is married to Penny Wise.





Wooton once had a girlfriend, Victoria Jamison, but could not marry her because she was not a Christian. Victoria and Wooton seemed to have everything in common from banana splits with the bananas substituted for licorice to the Pool Boys. Wooton and Victoria met at an auction and instantly fell in “like.” It was in the same auction that Wooton would have bought a hideous statue to hang up a ski suit and a full Pool Boys collection if Connie would not have intervened. Wooton's relationship with Penny Wise took a large leap, as seen in the last episode of the Ties that Bind.



Wooton collects Smiley Meal toys and already-chewed green gum. One of Wooton's favorite things is fresh licorice, especially when it replaces the bananas on a banana split. Wooton tries many different recipes, including peppermint lemonade (which turned out to be a disaster). He also invented a ride-able vacuum for Marvin Washington. Wooton’s favorite hobby of all happens to be helping others.

Wooton seems to have an attraction to animals, as he has raised and taken care of many different animals. Included were seven porcupines whose names were Greg, Peter, Bobby, Marsha, Jan, Cindy and Alice. He also raised a duck named Gertrude and a baby owl named Dr. What. Wooton even named a moose Dexter while living in Alaska.

Wooton has tried out for part in a Harlequin Dinner Theatre production. He has also been on the radio on many different accounts. He can make different voices to entertain kids. One time included Wooton co-announcing a baseball game, in which the listeners learned that Wooton does not even like baseball. Wooton can get off topic when talking on the radio; he once told a story about how he rode a tricycle down a ski slope when the topic was about donating blood. Wooton has even hosted a game show to settle a dispute between Connie and Eugene in #610: “Hear Me, Hear Me”.

Wooton also likes to joke around.
