Kaufmo lowkey would’ve been a great “haunting the narrative” kind of character now that I think of it. Usually I see people call Ribbit that but they don’t really haunt the narrative, more so they haunt Jax’s.
Kaufmo is never expanded on beyond his abstraction and the little hints like Ragatha and Gangle fake laughing at his jokes and the implication that he was also an artist like Gangle because the artstyle of the drawing Gangle was hiding in Kaufmo’s funeral had a very different style to her more anime-inspired one. <- also the fact that Gangle has a drawing with her and Kaufmo, implying they were friends that got along with drawing?
I assume Zooble and Gangle weren’t always that close, I think they only really started to get close in the show somewhere like episode 4 onwards. We also know Gangle had a strained friendship with Ragatha. Perhaps through all this, she might have found a genuine friendship with Kaufmo? Especially someone who understands her hobby?
I can imagine Kaufmo being a bit more laid back, his jokes are corny but he tells them anyways because he wants to make people laugh.
His laidback nature could clash with Ragatha ‘trying too hard’, maybe she just doesn’t know how to interact with him but wants to get along with him -> leading her to fake laugh at his jokes, Kaufmo catches this and doesn’t vibe with it. The general vibe between them is awkward.
Jax and Kaufmo probably don’t talk. Whatever it is that led to Ribbit’s abstraction caused them to drift apart, mostly because Ribbit was probably the glue that held their trio together. Jax is snarky with him, much like the rest of the humans.
Zooble probably doesn’t have an all too strong opinion on him, the most I can imagine is them thinking his jokes are corny, but still appreciating his relaxed nature and efforts, if that makes sense.
I actually think he’d vibe with Kinger. Kinger is not all there most of the time but he’d genuinely laugh at Kaufmo’s jokes and I wonder if even Kaufmo himself would be surprised because ??? You find ts funny lmao?????? Type of vibe.
Now these ^ are just ideas, obviously!!! But it would’ve been cool to see how they dealt with the grief of losing their friend.
TLDR: I kinda wanna draw Gangle and Kaufmo being buddies
