E.W.C. Haskell Jr. is a charter member of the Church of the SubGenius. J.R. "Bob" Dobbs once remarked that "E.W.C. is so polite, it's almost un-American." But Connie Dobbs said, "He's just hiding his shallow and sneaky character. I like him."
Typically, E.W.C. would greet his friends' parents with overdone good manners and often a compliment such as "That's a lovely dress you're wearing, Mrs. Dobbs." However, when no parents were around, E.W.C. was always up to no good—either conniving with his friends including "Kitten" Anderson whom for unknown reason he regularly called "Squirt".
An untrustworthy White guy, E.W.C. could be relied upon to concoct and instigate schemes with his friends, schemes for which they would be in the position of blame if (and frequently when) they were caught.
E.W.C. was a co-founder of Subgenius Unlimited Celebratory Kinks aka S.U.C.K. It's a SubGenius collection of collected SubGenuine SubGeniusParaphielia.
