History
Attending Tooniversity
- "I first moved in to Toontown in 1999, just a year after construction started. Oh boy, I remember that day like it was yesterday!"
- ―Flippy
Flippy moved into Toontown in 1999, a year after construction of the town started. Because he considered Mickey as his humble hero and enjoyed seeing his movies, Flippy was always eager to move into Toontown after hearing about it throughout his time. Before moving into Toontown, he attended Tooniversity to gain a degree in "Loony Literature and Animated Adjectives", which he successfully earned a year later. A few months after earning the degree, Mickey sent a letter to Flippy accepting his application, allowing him to enter Toontown as one of its first citizens.
Moving into Toontown
- "Talking to Surlee is what really made me want to help this town. I didn't want to be an average toon, I wanted to be something bigger. I wanted to help."
- ―Flippy
Flippy traveled to the Toontown Central playground upon riding through the tracks of the Trolley and befriended a lime dog by the name of Sir Max who was handing out free Bamboo Rods to Toons at the time. After meeting Sir Max, Flippy visited the construction site of Goofy Speedway where another nearby Toon named Doctor Surlee was inspecting the construction site with his blueprints. Because of Doctor Surlee's intelligence, Flippy wanted to refrain from being an average Toon by lending his hand in helping Toontown since he and Surlee shared many similar ideas. Mickey offered Flippy a position to run in the Toon Council Presidential Elections as a candidate due to his loyal help for Toontown. At some point, Flippy would also eventually become good friends with rival candidate Slappy.
Toon Council Presidential Elections
- "With a heavy heart, I hearby accept the Toon Council Presidency. Only until the Cogs are gone though. If we're going to get rid of them, we have to stand together. Toons of the world... UNITE!"
- ―Flippy
To kick off his campaigns for the Toon Council Presidential Elections, Flippy allowed Toons to become a Black Cat during Toontown's first Halloween year on October 31, 2013. On New Year's Day in 2014, Flippy launched fireworks as another part of his campaign. On February 17, 2014, shortly after Alec Tinn formally announced the Toon Council Presidential Elections, Flippy created his own pie stand to offer an infinite amount of Whole Cream Pies to all Toons.
As campaigns continued to be underway, Flippy was unsatisfied with himself having less laff points compared to Slappy and wanted to look for Doctor Surlee's blueprint on laff. Flippy only ended up with 38 laff, while Slappy had 42 laff. Despite receiving a lot of votes from Toons, Flippy was quite the underdog for he had less votes than Slappy. After the unexpected arrival of a Yesman that saddened Slappy, Flippy defeated the Yesman by using a Whole Cream Pie, which allowed him to discover the Cogs' weakness. With the help of Toons defending Toontown Central, Flippy was able to defeat the Director of Ambush Marketing by using a Whole Cream Pie, a Birthday Cake, and a Wedding Cake to ultimately put an end to Doomsday. Because Flippy was the only leader Toontown had left, he reluctantly accepted to be president of the Toon Council.
Assembling the Toon Council
- "Just a week ago I assembled the Toon Council for our very first official meeting to talk about the future. Boy, was that a mess."
- ―Flippy
After the Toon Council Presidential Elections concluded, Flippy gained his own temporary office in Toon Hall until the building's interior was further expanded by the time the Silly Meter arrived years later. During the Toon Council's first meeting, Flippy appointed Lord Lowden Clear as leader of a new group of Toons called the Toon Resistance. As president of the Toon Council, Flippy strives to keep Toontown the most Toontastic town in the Tooniverse.
SOS status
Flippy is a five-star Toon-Up SOS Toon. He uses Juggling Cubes that heals +180 laff points to one Toon, +90 laff points to two Toons, +60 laff points to three Toons, and +45 laff points to four Toons.
Trivia
- His last name, Doggenbottom, is in reference to initial plans for Toons to have customizable legs in Toontown Online.
- He is the first Toon to adopt a doodle named Fluffy.
- It can be closely seen that he, as an NPC in Toon Hall, is slightly taller than an average medium-sized Toon.
