Walter The Softy
Walter Brown (pejoratively nicknamed "Walter the Softy") is a fictional character that appears in the British comic magazine ''The Beano''. He is the rival and antagonist to Dennis the Menace who is vilified because of his lack of interest in stereotypically masculine activities and attitudes. From his first appearance in 1953, Walter became the target of Dennis' pranks and misbehaviour but would brush it off. Sometime in the 1980s, Walter's characterisation changed after reader backlash and made him a snobbish rich boy foil to his enemies. Character background Walter Brown first appeared in issue 577 of ''The Beano'' in ''Dennis the Menace'', two years after the comic strip's debut. He is a seemingly "perfect" child who is adored by his teachers for his hardworking and polite attitude. He enjoys picking flowers, ballet dancing in a tutu, playing with tea sets and Wendy houses, knitting and cross-dressing, with friends that act similar, owning well-behaved pets throughout th ...

Fufu
Fufu (or fufuo, foofoo, foufou ) is a dough-like food found in West African cuisine. In addition to Ghana, it is also found in Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia, Cote D'Ivoire, Benin, Togo, Nigeria, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic, the Republic of Congo, Angola and Gabon. It is often made in the traditional Ghanaian, Ivorian, Liberian, and Cuban method of separately mixing and pounding equal portions of boiled cassava with green plantain or cocoyam, or by mixing cassava/plantains or cocoyam flour with water and stirring it on a stove. Its thickness is then adjusted to personal preference, and it is eaten with broth-like soups. Some countries, particularly the Igbo tribe in Nigeria, have a version of fufu (Akpu) made from fermented cassava dough that is eaten with thick textured stews. Other flours, such as semolina, maize flour, or mashed plantains, may take the place of cassava flour. FuFu is traditionally eaten with the fingers, and a smal ...

Fufu (dog)
Fufu (or Foo Foo th, ฟูฟู; ; 1997–2015) was a Thai dog and air force officer who was the pet poodle of Vajiralongkorn, at the time the Crown Prince of Thailand. The dog was a favorite of the prince, and often accompanied him on royal engagements. According to the prince, his second daughter Sirivannavari Nariratana bought the dog when it was aged about one month from Chatuchak Weekend Market, Chatuchak market in Bangkok, along with some rabbits, hamsters and other dogs. He was "quite cute, but seemed very weak", and due to his daughter's young age the dog was kept in a pet shelter by palace staff. Fufu was occasionally put through his paces in public, as happened during the Thailand Grand Pet Show in Nakhon Pathom in December 2006 when the dog was said to have "exuded charm and executed clever stunts". Fufu came to wider public attention in 2009, when he appeared in a leaked video showing the Crown Prince's third wife, Srirasmi Suwadee, Princess Srirasmi, feeding a bir ...
