History
Bubbie with an infant Flapjack
Somewhere in between the years of 1998-2003, when Flapjack was just an infant, Bubbie found him out in the sea, in a floating bundle of seaweed. When she took a closer look at the child, she declared him her "little angel." Later on, a man in a boat passes by making flapjacks. Baby Flapjack likes the name, it being his first word, and Bubbie decides to name him "Flapjack." From then on, Bubbie raised Flapjack as her own, taking him with her to Stormalong Harbor.
Sometime later, a now older Flapjack and Bubbie were out at sea when they discovered a drowning K'nuckles. After saving the old sea captain, he began telling various tales of his adventures before he got lost. When K'nuckles told Flapjack of Candied Island, Flapjack became very enthusiastic and decided to become an adventurer like K'nuckles. He has stuck by K'nuckles side ever since.
Trivia
- According to Thurop Van Orman, Flapjack's creator, Flapjack is 5-10 years old.
- According to the episode "K'nuckles is a Filthy Rat," Flapjack's blood carries a natural immunity to the Bubonic Plague.
- This seems to make sense considering Flapjack has been to many places known to be very dangerous despite being a minor (therefore underdeveloped) making it more likely he'd be exposed to different or dangerous diseases, bacteria, or viruses.
- It can also be known that despite having a poor diet (due to his and K'nuckles' obsession over candy), Flapjack is moderately healthy compared to many residents on Stormalong and hardly ever shows signs of sickness.
- Flapjack is also revealed to be very gifted in pool to point where he even outshined Larry who was a seven seas champion (making Flapjack an 8 seas champion).
- Despite being very young, Flapjack is revealed to be very intelligent as shown when he accelerated quickly in formal education while K'nuckles failed miserably and his quick strategies often get him and K'nuckles out of trouble.
- He wears purple underwear, as shown in the episode "Jar She Blows!" However, he occasionally wears white underwear.
- Flapjack has a knack for writing original lyrics and melodies for songs, and has a "beautiful singing voice." His songs have included a lullaby for K'nuckles, a friendship-themed song involving K'nuckles, a musical tribute to a little old lady, and about 366 more unknown songs.
- Flapjack was originally going to be voiced by actor/comedian Paul Reubens, but Reubens was unable to voice him at the time, so Thurop Van Orman decided to voice Flapjack himself.
- Flapjack is a playable character in Cartoon Network's game, TKO.[1] One of Flapjack's moves is called, "Hey, Bubbie" and when used, Flapjack launches Bubbie at the enemy. Peculiarly, Bubbie is very small in comparison to Flapjack.
- Flapjack has been shown to have been a sailor multiple times in the series. In "N is for Navy" he was said to have been their best recruit. In "All Hands on Deck" he pretended to be a sailor in order to impress the "real" sailors.
- Flapjack is briefly mentioned at the end of the Steven Universe episode "Say Uncle."
- As shown in multiple episodes, Flapjack has blue eyes.
