That looks like one happy family, doesn't it? Meet the Cogmans- they lived in Cog Nation once, but they're such a kooky bunch that they didn't quite fit in with the crowd there, and have thus moved to Toontown Central. Let's greet them one-by-one:

Clyde Cogman - In Cog nation, he was the nurse's assistant at the charter school his daughter went to, St. Gearadine's School for Toon Youth. He wasn't very good at the nursing stuff, but he was great with the kids, he always knew what to do to make them laugh even if they came in bawling. For a cog, he's unusually jolly- maybe he's got his wires crossed, maybe he fell and hit his head- either way, he's an oddball, and because of that, the charter school was the only place in Cog Nation he could really work at. Now that he lives in Toontown, he works as a clown performing at parties for kids, grownups, and even the elderly- for toons, no one is ever too old to enjoy clowns. Everyone loves his shtick, and this makes Clyde incredibly happy because he felt like he never had a place cog society, but now he's finally found his people.

Clark Cogman - When he lived in Cog Nation with his husband Clyde, he worked as a courtroom sketch artist. He was always fond of drawing and wanted to become an artist, but his parents frowned upon the idea of him pursuing the arts, so court sketches were the next best thing. When he moved to Toontown, Clyde became the main breadwinner of the house from his clown gig, and this gave Clark the chance to finally chase his dream. Now, sometimes he'll go around different playgrounds and draw up quick portraits of passersby for a cheap price, but most of the time he's a stay-at-home papa, taking care of his daughter Constance and sketching her whenever he gets the chance so that he can get better at drawing toons. He likes doing candid portraits of her, being able to capture all the little moments of childhood wonder, getting to see his little girl laugh and play and grow up- those portraits are worth more than any old picture he could ever take.

Constance Cogman - The last member of this little family, but definitely not the least! Energetic and ever curious, she never misses out on the opportunity to learn- she'll ask you question after question about anything and everything, ranging from what your favorite dinosaur is to how the world and the entire universe started. She also loves meeting new people; when she sees someone she finds interesting, she'll just walk up to them and start talking their ear off till they can't stand it anymore. She went to school at St. Gearadine's when she lived in Cog Nation, but now she attends the Toontown schoolhouse, and between all the books there and whatever Clark brings home from the Library, she's always got something to read. She loves reading even more than playing, and she even writes her own little stories from time to time. Her absolute favorite subject is history, so her favorite things to write about are historical fiction and alternate history. And y'know what? She's not half bad at it! She's got quite a bright future ahead as an author.
