Rudolph Stieblitz is a student at Wagstaff School. He is more frequently known as either Regular Sized Rudy or just Rudy. He first appeared in "Carpe Museum" as Louise's assigned field trip buddy, followed by "The Unnatural", where he took part in Diamond Deuces's baseball camp along with Gene, The Pesto twins, and others. Rudy has appeared regularly throughout Season 4 and onwards.

Appearance

Rudy has light, ginger hair that he wears very short. He wears a light navy blue shirt, with red shorts, white tube socks, and brown shoes. Fans have speculated whether or not Rudy's appearance is based on Bobby Hill from Mike Judge's TV series King of the Hill, as the two share similar characteristics.

Family

Rudy's parents are divorced and share joint custody with his father having him on weekends.

His father Sylvester is a self-described "middle-aged man" who's "trying to get back out there."; and his mother is yet to be seen but according to Rudy in the episode Carpe Museum, she "hates fun" and is seemingly overprotective of her son since he also claimed that she "barely allowed" him to go on the field trip to the museum in the first place. Also according to Rudy; his mother once told him that he'd "never climb a tree",and he says this to himself while climbing a fake dead tree while at the 'Amazon Exhibit' in the museum.
