Appearance

101a

Towelie on South Park Studios.

Towelie is probably best described as a light blue towel with arms, legs and an anthropomorphic face. His eyes turn a shade of red when he gets high. In "Crippled Summer", he is shown crumpled and burnt at the edges, due to his drug addiction.

Family

Washcloth

Towelie's girlfriend, Rebecca, and his son, Washcloth.

Towelie is shown in the episode "Crippled Summer" to have a family. It consists of his girlfriend, named Rebecca whose face was blurred out, and their son together, named Washcloth.

Rebecca kicked Towelie out for being a bad influence on their son, preventing him from speaking to Washcloth when he was high. The boys use Washcloth as an incentive to get Towelie to get treatment. Towelie, Rebecca and Washcloth later moved back in together after Towelie kicked his addiction.

Reception

Although the creators of South Park intentionally made Towelie a terrible character, he gained a huge amount of popularity. After his initial appearance, he took on parts (usually cameos) in other episodes. In spite of this, he is regarded as "the worst character ever" by other characters within the show.
