Design[]
Current[]
He's a yellow lemon wearing a white sailor hat, pants, and black-grey shoes. He also has orange eyes.
Prototype[]
Before officially debuting in No News is Good News!, Wedgie appeared to be drawn alot more simpler, having no pants and black-grey shoes and only his sailor hat remaining.
Personality[]
He is a very bitter and stressed lemon. He doesn’t really interact with any of the other fruits on the island, mainly because he is more focused on leaving the island. He spends most of the time with the figure-head of his ship, Betty; talking to her about sailing away from the island.
He is prone to meltdowns/outbursts of anger when ever Coconut Fred, Slip and/or Slide annoy him. He claims to be always angry since his boat wrecked.
History[]
When Wedgie was sailing away from Blueberry Bay, he was caught on a thunderstorm, then after it, Fred overtakes his boat, steers his steering wheel, and his boat crushed to a boulder because of him.
In No News is Good News!, he gets hit in the head with Fred’s drumstick, breaking the floor in his ship in the process. He later gets caught in the water. Fred tries to save him, but he gets kicked back to land; as Fred juggles being both a lifeguard and a journalist. Wedgie later gets saved by Fred, who gives him CPR; spraying lemon juice into Mr. Greenrind’s eyes.
In Master of Disaster, he was seen wearing white bat wings to fly away to another island, but Fred hit him and his white bat wings to the sea as well. He builds a raft to paddle away from the island, but then gets onto a tower of hardened lava.
In Hocus Pocus Lack of Focus, Wedgie panics when he runs into an invisible tree (that Fred casted a spell on to make invisible). Fred later turned Wedgie into a pig, a woman, and then a frog.
In Amuse-Otel, his boat was seen with the roller coaster tracks inside, and the roller coaster named The Nut Mare hit him with high speed, crushing him to the ground.
Lemon Overboard was his centric episode. Fred built a new sailing boat (yacht or ship), and asks Wedgie to help him become a sailor. Wedgie only agrees, so he could leave the island. They are accompanied by Bunga Berry, Slip and Slide. Wedgie is annoyed when he can’t sail in peace (with the passengers annoying him); and also by the sailor whistle Fred blows. He later explodes on Fred for tripping him. Slip or Slide ask Wedgie to tell them how he came to Fruit Salad Island. He told the 4 passengers how he crashed his boat; with Fred summoning all the details Wedgie put out. Fred indirectly causes the boat to break down. Fred and Wedgie try to sail through the storm; until Wedgie learns that Fred was the reason he can’t get off the island. The boat gets back, and Wedgie gets flung back to his original ship, defeated.
Relationships[]
Coconut Fred[]
Wedgie hates Fred; due to him usually being the victim of Fred’s antics. Fred tries to compliment him, calling him a good sailor and such. Throughout the series, Fred (accidentally) causes Wedgie’s misery.
"Lemon Overboard" has them interact the most. Fred wants Wedgie to teach him how to be a sailor. He later builds the S.S. Coco-Wedgie, and Wedgie hesitantly joins him (in order to escape the island of course). Wedgie tries to keep Fred busy by telling him to study; but it doesn’t end well. Wedgie later blows up at Fred for tripping him. Later, when a storm apppears (indirectly from Fred), both him and Wedgie try and sail through the storm. Wedgie later realizes that Fred was the main reason he is stuck at the island and he snaps. Fred later thanks him for teaching him to be a sailor.
Betty[]
Betty is the main person/object that Wedgie talks to. Wedgie mainly talks to her about sailing away from the island, similar to Castaway.
Mr. Greenrind[]
Wedgie and Mr. Greenrind don't have any important interactions. Mr. G may interfere at times like driving away with Wedgie's motor boat or putting him in his mouth to get rid of his fruitcups.
Abilities[]
Sailing[]
Wedgie is a sailor, so obviously he is pretty good at sailing.
