Scuffy the Tugboat

Scuffy is a little tugboat.

Personality
Scuffy is a toy tugboat who wishes for "bigger things" than sailing in the bathtub. The Man with the Polkadot Tie (who owns a toy store) and his son take Scuffy to a small brook in a pasture, and soon the current carries him away. At first Scuffy is pleased. The brook grows into a stream which turns into a small river and finally a larger river. Scuffy is overwhelmed by the sheer size of things around him. As he is just about to sail off into the endless ocean, he is rescued by the man and his boy and returned to the bathtub where Scuffy is now content to remain.

Basis
Scuffy is based on the tugs of San Francisco waters from the 1920s.

Livery
Scuffy is painted red with an orange roof and a brown hull. His smokestack is blue.
