Personality

In Buster's Green Thumb, before meeting Fritz, Buster described him as "the weird guy with the big hat who talks to himself". Bitzi, who knew Fritz since she was a child, tells Buster that he is not weird and convinces him to bring compost to the garden. Fritz does talk to himself as he pulls out weeds, saying things such as "You think you're tougher than me eh? You put up a good fight, weed, I'll give you that.". He is a very strict person, but means well and cares about the garden.

Childhood

It was revealed in "Home Sweet Home" that in 1932, when he was younger, Fritz got the nickname Fearless Fritz after winning a game of capture the flag against all odds at camp. He writes about this in a letter to Buster when he is at camp. Buster reads the letters Fritz sends to Sanjeev, Irwin, and the other kids at Camp Meadowcroak.
