Morris is a recurring minor character in the Pac-Man animated series. He is Pac-Man's neighbor, and is often clumsy in his appearances throughout the series.
History[]
He first appears in "Trick or Chomp", where he hands out treats to Pac-Baby and Chomp-Chomp on Halloween when Pac-Man and his family visit his house, but only gives one treat to Pac-Man, before taking it back from it, deciding Pac-Man is too old to be trick-or-treating. Later, the Ghost Monsters appear at his house, and Morris thinks they are kids dressed as them, but they reveal they are the real Ghost Monsters and chomp him.
In "Invasion of the Pac-Pups", he asks Pac-Man if he can help with painting his garage. Unfortunately for the two, Chomp-Chomp and the Pac-Pups disrupt their work. Throughout the rest of the episode, he assists Pac-Man in trying to deal with the shenanigans caused by the animals.
He is mentioned by Ms. Pac-Man in the episode "Backpackin' Packy", as he was originally going to take the Pac-Baby Scouts camping, but he stubbed his big toe, and asked if Pac-Man could fill in for him.
In "The Pac-Love-Boat", he is hired by Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man (Pepper) to watch after Pac-Baby, Chomp-Chomp, and Sour Puss while the two are on a week-long anniversary cruise. Unfortunately, the three end up in a basket that is taken away by a ship crew member and they end up as stowaways.
In "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Pac-Man", after Pac-Man turns into a werewolf, he invades Morris' house while he is sleeping. When clouds cover up the moon, Pac-Man returns to normal but does not know he's in Morris' house and believes he is in his own bedroom, and angrily demands Morris get out, until he finds out from Morris he is in his house. The clouds move away from the moon and Pac-Man turns into a werewolf again and chases Morris around his house, before Morris calls the police to report about the werewolf.
Trivia[]
