The Jumping Ground/Characters

The Jumping Ground is an animated science-fiction action sitcom created by Lee Eisenhower and Conrad Vernon for the Cartoon Network television network. The ongoing narrative revolves around four kids—PuffPuff Humbert, Lance Patrick, Zowie Hosker, and Rob Broflovski — and their bizarre adventures in and around the fictional town of Pencaster, Ohio, exploring the galaxy and defending it against alien threats such as the Goa'uld, Replicators, and the Ori.

PuffPuff Humbert
PuffPuff is one of the show's four central characters (and the main protagonist) and is voiced by Sean Astin from Season 1 to The Jumping Ground Movie and Matthew Mercer from Season 20 onwards, and is loosely based on series co-creator Lee Eisenhower. He is portrayed (in words of the show's official website) as "a normal, average, American, mixed-up kid". Puff is a student-soldier who commonly has extraordinary experiences not typical of conventional small-town life in his hometown of Pencaster. In many episodes, Puff contemplates ethics in beliefs, moral dilemmas, and contentious issues, and will often reflect on the lessons he has attained with a speech that often begins with "You know, I learned something today...".
