Morton Arthur Goldthwait is a nerdy 14-year-old. He's in love with Paige and asks her to the dance whenever there is one. He is a super genius, and also holds a high position in the video game football tournaments. He was a counselor in Camp Bohrmore that Jason and Marcus went to. While Paige thinks very lowly of Morton, Jason sees him as a stud. He once threw a Halloween party at his house, which He invited Paige, only to have Paige run screaming in horror. Nicole, Paige's best friend, agreed to go with her at the cost of all the money in her piggy bank. At the party, it is a nightmare for Paige. Obviously because of all this he is one of Jason's Idols.

Appearance[]

In the original comics from the 1990's his appearance was a bit different. It was mostly the design we know today but with a slightly longer face.

Finally, his face became more straightened.

He has acne and wears black glasses.

Relationships with other characters[]

Paige: Paige is Morton's, unrequited love. It's a running gag in the strips that he repeatedly asks her and/or Nicole to the school dances. Morton annoys Paige in the extreme, but when he stopped asking Paige and instead asked Mary Ellen Finklestein, Paige became extremely mad at him, probably thinking "What? I'm not good enough for him?" He's has also once acted in a school Shakespeare play with Paige, where they had to kiss in one of the acts.

Personality[]

Morton is a freshman, yet he is seen in a few strips with Peter, who is a junior. It can't be that Morton has skipped two grades, because Morton is seen in gym class with Peter, and we all know there's no way Morton skipped two grades in gym class. Once, Peter was paired up with Morton for a science lab and Peter was lured into going to Morton's house when Morton "understood that you're popular, but I'm just a lowly freshman who gets straight A++s." 

Trivia[]

  • The Shakespeare play that Morton played in was “Anthony and Cleopatra”. Morton played the role of Anthony.
  • In one strip in the Anthony and Cleopatra storyline, Morton’s dagger was taller than him.
  • Paige once tricked Morton out of a date by saying she had the Swahillian Flu.
  • In the Camp FoxTrot Storyline, rather than saying “Drop and give me twenty” like normal Drill-Sargent-eque Camp Counselors, Morton gives commands like “get down and give me pi to 15 decimal places” and “get down and give me the anatomic mass of cesium”.
  • Morton once had a Halloween party at his house, and he invited Paige and all of his geek friends.
  • He is one of the two members of the school's esports team which he invited Peter to join.
