Ditzy Dawg

"Damn it, Mika!"

- Ditzy's catchphrase whenever Mika interrupts him "Yes, I'm old school, but I talk new school."

- Ditzy Dawg Ditzy Dawg is the main protagonist of the Toonime series. He is an anthropomorphic cartoon dog heavily inspired by Mickey Mouse and Felix the Cat. He is voiced by Kevin McDonald, who has also provided the voice roles for Purple from Invader Zim, Pleakley from Lilo & Stitch and Waffle from Catscratch.

Personality
Throughout the series, Ditzy's portrayal is a miserable and pessimistic individual. He is very cynical, ill-tempered, sarcastic, snarky and unsociable (particularly towards Mika). He is also incredibly self-destructive, as he often resorts to getting himself hurt relentlessly throughout the show's run. However, he is not completely void of positive character traits. Ditzy can also be wisecracking, wacky and very intelligent. He always makes skeptical remarks whenever he calls people out and tries to reveal their true motives. This can arguably be implied that, despite being the main character, Ditzy is the smartest out of all the other characters in the series. He often gets frustrated whenever people disagree with him for stupid reasons or when someone talks down on him."Listen Mika, you can't always be the nice guy. You can't trust anyone who wants to use you as a tool. If you're not going to listen to me, I'm going to have to be more specific to get you to understand. There are people out there in this cold, cruel hellhole we call the world who see you as an individual so gullible that they will manipulate you into helping them accomplish selfish or dishonest goals. Remember why Japrica was impeached? He was exposed as a corrupt scumbag who's been giving out bribes and was hiring some of his supporters to blackmail anyone who supports Ameripan or just doesn't follow him in general. If you can't put your foot down when it comes to confronting those who deceive you, they will keep seeing you as their puppet. Everyone sees me as some sad, arrogant jerk-off, but underneath all that, I act this way because I don't want anything bad to happen to you. The same goes for everyone else; Sakura... Warts... even Tybalt... I don't want them to fall victim to such cruelty and deception. There, I said it."

- Ditzy explaining to Mika the true reason behind his cynicism Despite his dismal reputation, Ditzy has a more heroic side to him. Whenever anyone of his friends (or frenemies including Tybalt) is in danger, he will often take it upon himself to come to their aid, which makes him selfless and determined on those occasions. He even explained to Mika that the motive behind his edgy personality is because he wants to protect Mika and his other friends. He deeply cares for his allies, even though he can be very harsh and embarrassed towards them at times.

Past
There is another reason behind Ditzy's misfortune. He grew up in a poor family where he suffered physical and verbal abuse in the hands of his unnamed older brother, who was said to be diagnosed with conduct disorder. He was also neglected by his parents, as they more than often paid more attention to his brother. One day, Ditzy had finally put up with the constant abuse and ran away from home. His family never took it upon themselves to search for him. On that same day, he was found in the streets by a caretaker and therefore, was orphaned. However, his life in the orphanage was just as tragic as his former family life. Many kids often bullied Ditzy to the point where he threw a gigantic temper tantrum and scared the other children away. From that moment on, Ditzy started to become more depressed. By the time he was all grown up, he became the dull cynic everyone knew him as.
