Junior (Dudu Moreno in the original) is Maggy's younger cousin and neighbor. He's an annoying kid who hates food and eating them, unlike his cousin, Maggy, with whom he has great friendship. He and Bertie are best friends.

Personality and skills[]

Despite his young age of five years old, Junior turns out to be a typical stubborn, boring, annoying little kid. Junior can take anyone who walks past him during a comic book with his endless questions and fertile and persistent imagination. His main characteristic, unlike his cousin Maggy, is not liking to eat; moreover, he detests much more annoying his mother, who invents the most varied things to make him eat, such as: cheating him, asking his husband dress up as a superhero and show him how good a meal is by entertaining he and showing how to stay strong; or summon Maggy, of voracious appetite, to influence him to eat...

Junior has a light golden orange hair is often seen wearing a blue shirt, black shorts, and red shoes. He sometimes tries to blend in with the older gang, usually not working. Often, Junior throws all the lunch out the window to make the birds eat or let the ants lead, after having won the Smudge's Bufa (a pretty gluttonous goat), Junior gives all the leftovers of lunch to him. He really hates to know that normal people his age like to substitute a healthy diet for fatty foods, preferring fried foods. They can not even make him eat a hot dog, a hamburger, sandwich and so on.

His mother always calls on Maggy to make him eat, which tells the most varied stories involving food, which he hates but in the end always believes for his innocence. As Maggy is always called by Junior's mother, she serves as a nanny for Junior, always watching over him and taking care of him, Crystal has already become his nanny - and was crazy about it - in a story. In some cases, Maggy will more serve as an incentive for him, but she don't resist and eats what was for him. However, Junior always ends up eating against his will. Junior's mother also creates stories using the dish as if it were an adventure for the young Junior, or he imagines himself in the situation in places that sell food (as in the supermarket, for example).

Junior is also a very childish kid for his age. He believes in aliens and that the Jimmy Five's five strands of can serve as an alien antenna, often changes subjects, changes emotion instantly, and often doesn't understand modern or outdated words. An alien in a story said that the annoying indicator, pointing to Junior, hit the turning point, showing how annoying he is. You're terrified of the Vanilla. In Monica Teen, Junior gets more sporty, enjoying the anime/manga "Naruto" and mainly skateboarding and whenever Maggy is around she helps Junior eat and watch over him.
