Meet the Main Characters

This section introduces the main characters of the show.

Humf: The Purple Furry Friend

Humf is the main character of the show. He is a purple, furry creature. Humf lives in the middle apartment of a three-story building. His friends, Wallace and Loon, live in the same building. Humf loves to explore and learn new things every day.

Loon: The Pink Feathery Friend

Loon is a pink, feathery creature. She lives in the apartment right below Humf. Loon loves to go on adventures, especially to the park or the supermarket. She often goes with Humf, Wallace, and her mum.

Wallace: The Green Hairy Friend

Wallace is a green, hairy creature. He lives on the very top floor of the building. Wallace is known for being very energetic and loves to run around a lot.

Places in Humf's World

The show often takes place in a few key locations.

The Characters' Homes

Many episodes of Humf happen inside the characters' apartments. This is where they play, learn, and spend time with their families.

The Local Park

The park is another important place in the show. It's close enough for the characters to walk to, though they have to cross a road. The park has fun play equipment, a sandpit, and open green spaces for running and playing.

What Happens in a Typical Episode?

Most episodes of Humf show Humf exploring the world around him. He learns about different things and how to deal with everyday situations.

For example, in one episode, Humf and his friends go to the park. They notice some litter on the ground. They talk about it and decide to start picking it up. Humf's mum then explains that they should be careful and not pick up everything, as some things might be dirty or unsafe. This helps Humf learn about being safe and tidy.
