Honk

Honk the Penguin is a male character, and a resident of the Alpine Exhibit. He is written as cheerful but not very outspoken, and also smarter than he looks. He is also a somewhat slow thinker; however, when he eventually does manage to come up with ideas, they are good ones, as he has worked them out carefully. It is he who comes up with the idea to research into Mr. Grumble's background, which leads to the Christmas party; he also revives Mr. Grumble when he faints.

Honk's costume should be the funniest of the animal characters'. It ideally should consist of a nice white shirt and black suit coat and slacks, with a pair of black mittens. It should also contain a pair of swim goggles with large yellow feathers stuck to the sides, and a pair of swim fins. The beak can be either painted or attached to the goggles.

Trivia

 * Honk's name was the same in the original short story as it is in the play. However, his species did undergo a change; he was originally a sea lion.
 * Honk can be played by a woman if absolutely necessary; however, as he sings tenor a lot, it would be impractical in most cases.
