Cuthbert and the other characters from the valley are an amalgamation of people I have met or observed throughout life. Cuthbert is the self concious, never cause a ripple type of guy whereas Ronald is the 'Been everywhere, killed everyone but can't prove it because it's a secret' kind of guy. Percy? well Percy is the annoying little twerp who always has the last word and if he hasn't achieved it you can bet that one of his ancestors has. This is the valley where people forget to leave and eccentricities become normal and normal is viewed with real suspicion.
