History Characters / KevinAndKellDewclawExtendedFamily

* LetsMeetTheMeat: Defied [[https://kevinandkell.com/2010/kk1103.html in his first appearance.]]

* OfficeRomance: ''Maybe''. As DFW began gearing up for the 2024 hunting season, Marty began appearing on webmeets from Alaska naked, using the excuse that camoflauge was preferable in the snow up there. [[DidYouJustHaveSex Kell and Dip didn't buy it for a second.]] [[https://kevinandkell.com/2024/kk0318.html Sure enough, it showed him courting a lady bear.]]

* PutOnABus: Literally. After being let go of Herd Thinners, his most-recent appearance [[https://kevinandkell.com/2015/kk0627.html had him as a bus driver]] taking a tour to California. While he was initially hired as a delivery driver for Dewclaw's Fine Meats, either that did not last long or was subject to a {{retcon}}.

!!'''Marty''' (Polar Bear)
Back when Kell was CEO of Herd Thinners, a polar bear employee was her first challenger for the position. She defeated him. Years after she left Herd Thinners, he finally followed when he discovered he was about to be downsized. After re-earning her trust, Kell put him to work as a trainer. As of 2022, he is establishing a DFW branch in Alaska.

* AmbiguousSituation: Though she has begun to act like a stepmother to Leona since the lead-up to her wedding with Carl, there's no evidence she and Frank have actually gotten married, and little evidence that they are even co-habitating.

Expert auto mechanic. Owner and head mechanic at Aby's Auto Repair. Originally a Silicon Valley tech, she moved to auto mechanics with the dot-com bust. Her business got so good, she hired Elanor Dewclaw and Dorothy Kindle both to manage the business so she could continue repairing cars. She lives in the Ursals' former cave across the street from Kevin and Kell, and is married to a mouse racecar driver named Mark Meadowvole.

Kell's father, he had a full career at Herd Thinners, something he hoped for both of his children, even though only his daughter Kell lived up to it. Died early in the strip's history after a bout with dementia. Stuck around a while in spirit, though he departed for the Great Beyond when she became CEO of Herd Thinners.

Kell's father. Died early in the strip's history after a bout with dementia. Stuck around a while in spirit.

Kell's mother. She lives with Kevin and Kell after she misinvested Franklin's retirement.

Kell's first husband, Rudy's father. Died in a hunting accident when he was trampled by a moose. Later revealed to have cheated on Kell, resulting in Vin Vulpen.

One of Kell's closest co-workers at Herd Thinners; frequently TheRival, though a friendly one. A single parent of daughter Leona; was forced to begin hunting for himself when his wife died after a long illness. Became good enough to hunt professionally. He has since gotten into a relationship with Sheila.

* FurIsClothing: This gag would be used once when [[https://kevinandkell.com/1999/kk0430.html he tried to hunt Corrie]] and Dolly.[[note]]At the time, he was not aware Corrie--and, by extension, Dolly--was his daughter.[[/note]] Corrie took his pelt, then wore it when pretending to be a wolf. Ironically, his pelt would [[https://kevinandkell.com/2000/kk0909.html give Rudy the idea that Corrie was Ralph's daughter]] more than a year before it was revealed that she actually was.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Marty challenged Kell because [[https://www.kevinandkell.com/2010/kk1216.html he wanted to move the company to international waters in the Arctic]] (the North Pole) to sidestep labor laws.

* TheGadfly: When younger, Gingly had an entourage of remora. She eventually fell in love with one of them, Larry, and eventually stopped hanging out with other remora.

-->'''Mei-Li:'' Well, sharks are eager to prove they're not just mindless killing machines...and that they can fish without swallowing.\\

* {{Unperson}}: Another indirect trope, but this is essentially his job in Alaska. He and the dung beetles remove the evidence of the existence of DFW prey to limit competition.

* TeethFlying: Kell defeated him in his challenge [[https://kevinandkell.com/2010/kk1221.html by shoving a fruit cake in his mouth and yanking it out, parting him of his teeth.]]

!!'''R.L.''' (Wolf)
The current Owner, Chairman and CEO of Herd Thinners. Bloodthirsty and malevolent. Was on the sidelines for three years after Kell won the CEO position at Herd Thinners, but [[StatusQuoIsGod eventually ousted her in a corporate hostile takeover]].

* ArmoredClosetGay: The Domain equivalent. He was so petrified of anyone finding out he married a rabbit that she (willingly) underwent surgery to become a rat so that he wouldn't lose any standing.

* BigEater: He's known for eating entire full-grown animals in between meals as snacks. When in prison, he kept eating his cellmate every night, thinking they were giving him a second dinner.

* CareerEndingInjury: It was eventually shown that the R.L. whose been appearing in public for the past couple of years was an imposter. R.L. never fully recovered from his fight with Frank Mangle and instead disappeared into the Wild, since he was so weakened any prison sentence would inevitably end in his death.

Kell's cousin. Sometimes acts as a {{doppelganger}} for Kell due to UncannyFamilyResemblance. Currently dating Frank Mangle.

* MistakenForCheating: Frank makes sure all the pictures in his office of the two of them also include Kell. The ones of just the two of them lead to some awkward questions.

* TeethFlying: Kell defeated him in his challenge [[https://kevinandkell.com/2010/kk1221.html by shoving a fruit cake in his mouth and yanking it out, parting him of his teeth.]]

* TheyDo: Marries Dip after she was almost deported because they both agree they never want to be without each other again.

* SuperPersistentPredator: When someone defects Herd Thinners for Dewclaws, R.L. typically doesn't take it well. He pursued Dip for some time after he defected. However, [[https://kevinandkell.com/2015/kk1226.html this was averted with Marty:]]
