Cuthbert Cringeworthy is a character in The Bash Street Kids. He is a student in Bash Street School.

Personality

Cuthbert is the most well-behaved pupil in the class. He is also Teacher's Pet, because he is well-behaved unlike the other kids. However, he sometimes gets disciplined by Teacher. In one story, he gets sent out of the classroom because Teacher thought he was singing in class, when it was actually a howling dog he banned. Teacher never hears a word when he corrects Cuthbert's homework. The other kids often pick on him when he's doing his work. Cuthbert always cries during being picked on and runs to Teacher to tell them off (and yes, the others run off).

Physical appearance

Cuthbert has black hair (brown in more recent strips), a red and black striped schoolboy's cap, round glasses, a red blazer, a white shirt, a black and white striped tie, black shorts and black socks with brown shoes.
