Description[]

Physical description[]

Gordie has a square head and a crooked nose. (As a drawing, Nate Wright drew him with no spine.).His facial structure has changed over the years like Mr. Staples'. It is possible that he is attractive, as he is dating the beautiful Ellen Wright.

Personality[]

Gordie sometimes acts like a nerd like Francis, but on topics like comics. This likely contributes to his friendship with Nate. He enjoys comics alongside being an expert on them. He is very compatible with his girlfriend Ellen, but he has a putrid taste in girlfriends, according to Nate. He gets along well with Nate most of the time, however Nate cannot believe that Gordie would actually date his sister as Nate things she’s ugly and stupid. He is also ambidextrous, as he can draw amazing artworks with both hands at the same time as Nate has remarked.
