Joe Murray, creator of Rocko's Modern Life, partially based Heffer on an adopted friend who enjoyed bologna sandwiches and "had an interesting take on life." Heffer first appeared on an ID spot aired on MTV in 1989 the ID spot depicts Heffer as flying out of a television with the MTV logo branded on his buttocks. Sandwiches are good" Conception and development Did I share it with Rocko? No cause I could tell he wasn't hungry." "Rocko! That's it! The answer to all your problems! Plastic! You can charge now and pay later! " "Rocko, living here has allowed me to explore new facets of my personality. Just remember the problems of two people don't amount to a in this wacky world, but at least we'll always have the barn." "The more I eat, the more weight I get to loose." His first appearance was in No Pain, No Gain. Heffer appears in most episodes of Rocko's Modern Life. He has green-yellow spiked hair and wears blue suspenders with red pants. Heffer is mostly colored yellow with an orange snout. In later episodes, he becomes loudmouthed. However, Heffer's father seems to have very little patience for his son, even to the point of dropping the short-tempered bombshell that "your mother's a car seat in Illinois." Heffer is lazy and immature. It is revealed in an episode that Heffer's biological father is still alive with a girl cow named Joyce living in a trailer in the Canoga Park section of the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, California, United States. At the local skating rink, he is known as "The King," and performs his own skating routine at the request of the patrons. However, his massive size along with the momentum of the sudden deceleration caused him to plow right through the front of the car.ĭespite his size, he can be very nimble at times, most notably when he is roller-skating. He successfully stopped and avoided collision. This, in fact, caused severe damage to his father's car when he was driving to the store, and decided not to put the seat belt on because he was too big for its maximum length, and when a Chokey Chicken restaurant was being torn down a few hundred yards ahead of him, the plastic Chicken mascot came bouncing down the road and headed Heffer's way. Despite being obese, he can drive unlike Rocko he does not wear seat belts.

Heffer holds several jobs: tree farmer, greenskeeper at a golf course, mail carrier, security guard, waiter at a café, and cashier. The Nickelodeon South East Asia website describes Heffer's personality as an "overgrown slob." The Nickelodeon UK page describes Heffer's personality as a "devoted friend" who "loves life." Heffer's lack of fear mostly stems from stupidity instead of genuine bravery. Most characters would call him a "cow", then either his father or himself would correct them by calling Heffer a steer. The mark which Heffer believed to be a "birthmark" on his butt is actually the plotting lines showing where the wolves were going to divide him.īesides eating a lot, Heffer being called a cow is another running gag. Eventually the family grew to love Heffer, so they instead raised him, not letting him know that he was adopted until Rocko accidentally revealed the truth when the Wolfe family invited him for dinner. Best friend of Rocko, Heffer was raised by wolves in O-Town, as seen by his family name, who originally were going to eat him, and thus began to fatten him up.
