"Lumpy" Rutherford is one of Wally's best buddies,
but as with his other companion, Eddie Haskell, one has to wonder
about Wally's choice in friends. Lumpy's a bully and is as thick
in the head as he is around the waist. It's no wonder he turned
out the way he did, as his father Fred Rutherford, who works
with Ward "down at the salt mines," is a major blowhard with
enough annoying characteristics to drive a civil man like Ward
to the brink of insanity. Gwendolyn Rutherford surely must be
a saint to put up with the men in her family. Her daughter,
Violet Rutherford, is just another flaky girl as far as Beaver
is concerned, though she does like rats, which makes her okay
in Beaver's book. |
