Appearance
The Newspaper Employee is a bipedal, living ball of crumpled up newspaper. He wears black glasses, and his limbs are scrawny and black as well. His arms are made out of newspaper.
In Season 2, he is slightly changed as he develops eyebrows, dots for eyes, and a mouth. His legs and arms look different, too.
In Season 3, he gets yet another redesign. He remains the same as he did in Season 2, except, there are no newspaper writings all over his body. He also has slightly modified eyes.
