Pete was just an average guy... until one morning he pulled his slacks up too high disfiguring him for life. Pete turned to a life of crime and became a part of the seedy underworld. He wields a gun and and scimitar to show he means business.
Gus hates being forced to wear a suit everyday. He takes his anger out on other penguins by bonking them on the head with his cane. I regret giving him a top hat. I'll draw him again someday.
