LAMPY

NEUROTIC GOOSENECK DESK LAMP · THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER (1987) · MASTER ROB'S APPLIANCE

VOICE Timothy Stack — high-strung, fast-talking, squeaky, defensive, endlessly earnest.

ANATOMY Golden-yellow lampshade head with a glass bulb for a face, silver gooseneck, weighted metal base he hops on, black cord with a two-prong plug he uses as a hand.

ESSENCE Terrified of the dark, of predators, of obsolescence, and of blowing his bulb. Furious if anyone calls him dim. Panics first, then lights the way — a loyal little hero who would take a lightning strike for his friends.

Shine steady. Complain loudly. Never leave the Master behind.
