"No Class."
[~Russell's signature putdown]
Russell Cosby is the youngest and smallest member of the Junkyard gang. He is the younger brother of Bill, and is based on Bill Cosby's real-life brother.
Appearance
Regardless of the weather, Russell always wears winter clothes: dark blue coat, red boots, yellow scarf and Ushanka hat.
Personality
Russell has a penchant for making snide remarks and blunt observations (much to his Bill's consternation). Russell frequently criticizes Rudy, reserving his most withering insults for when Rudy is being especially cocky. His catchphrase is "no class."
In the Junkyard Band Russell plays a xylophone made from empty cans hanging from a discarded coat rack.
