Two children who try their best to do well in school, but always get in trouble thanks to the Goose Lady.


  • Butt-Monkey: No matter how hard they try, the Goose Lady will always show up to ruin their day and interfere with how well they do in school by distracting them with her stories. Any attempts they make at holding the Goose Lady accountable only end in the Goose Lady getting away, resulting in authority figures catching the children and blaming them for any acts of destruction the Goose Lady had caused.
  • Cassandra Truth: Whenever they try to explain that it's the Goose Lady's fault they aren't doing well in school, no one believes them.
  • Deadpan Snarker: They often make snide remarks about how the Goose Lady's stories are completely hackneyed and have morals that leave a lot to be desired or are contradicted by what actually happens in the stories.
  • Prematurely Bald: Randy is bald at ten years old, which the Goose Lady mocks him for in "The Ugly Duck-Thing".
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: "The Fisherman, The Fisherman's Wife and a Fish" stands out as the one short where Dot and Randy are able to flee the area before they get punished for what the Goose Lady did.

The Goose Lady

An eccentric humanoid goose who forces Dot and Randy to listen to her tales, showing no regard whatsoever for how her actions interfere with their education.


  • Comically Missing the Point: When Dot and Randy try to give her a taste of her own medicine in the final short "Dot and Randy's Sad Tale of Woe" by forcing her to listen to a story that portrays the two children as being prevented from achieving their destiny due to being distracted by the stories told to them by very unflattering representations of the Goose Lady and Juanito, the Goose Lady does not grasp that the story is a metaphor for how her habit of forcing Dot and Randy to listen to her stories is ruining their lives and instead comes to the conclusion that the kids are terrible at telling stories and that she should never give them another opportunity to tell their own tale.
  • Karma Houdini: She is never seen getting punished for bugging Dot and Randy and tends to book it whenever an authority figure approaches. The closest she gets to an effective punishment is when Dot and Randy tie her up and attempt to teach her a lesson by reading to her a story that serves as an overt rebuking of how her habit of distracting them with her stories has ruined their lives in the final short "Dot and Randy's Sad Tale of Woe", but the Goose Lady doesn't learn a thing from the experience and goes on her merry way once the kids let her go.
  • Non-Mammal Mammaries: She has a pair of small breasts.
  • True Blue Femininity: Her clothes are blue.

The Goose Lady's talking magic wand, who narrates all her stories.


"What resulted was- you guessed it- a great fall, followed by a pretty icky landing."
  • Narrator: He's the one who actually tells the stories.
