Sticky Webb is one of the main characters on the original 2001 version of The Proud Family series.

Appearance[]

Sticky is a short, teenage black boy, being only a bit below Dijonay in height. He is 14 years old. He wears a blue jacket with the collar showed up, a light greyish blue (white in the revival) t-shirt, baggy blue jeans, and dark brown shoes. He also wears a dark brown beanie and thin sunglasses (became a light shade in the revival) worn narrowed down.

History[]

He is Penny's best male friend who acts like a cool dude while also being very intelligent. In Bring It On[4], he warns Penny about The Gross Sisters' plan of getting rid of LaCienega Boulevardez by pulling a prank that would injure her and cause her not to be able to win the last spot on the cheerleading team. Throughout the series, he is chased and harassed by Dijonay Jones who has a huge crush on him. Though he does have feelings for her, he only let them show once in Surf and Turf. He is tech-savy; knowing a lot about computers and has built his own gadgets on his spare time. Sticky's is heartbroken when he learns his parents are getting a divorce and temporarily resorts to delinquent behavior to try and cope with it which involved following a gang called The Altos.[5] Sticky is very good at figuring things out, like puzzles and anything involving technology. As shown in The Proud Family Movie [6], his cousin, who is a rapper named Fifteen Cent, parody of hip-hop rapper 50 Cent, voiced by singer Omarion (part of B2K).

In the first episode of the revival ("New Kids on the Block"), Sticky officially leaves Emilyville, California to establish himself in another city in Japan, after the Leibowitz-Jenkins' family move in. He wrote a note stating that his father explained that he could stay with his cousins but instead he decided to go to Japan with him in order to get away from Dijonay. The last we see of him is him in a car flashing a peace sign at the gang as he drives off.

Social Life[]

Sticky is very intelligent, so he comes in handy in most situations. He is best friends with Michael Collins, and Penny’s best guy friend. Sticky is also the love interest of Dijonay Jones, but doesn’t share the same feelings for her.

Penny Proud

Sticky is Penny's closest male friend, with whom she shares a great bond and trusts with personal matters. For instance, when Sticky confides in Penny about his parents' divorce, she offers him emotional support, despite his association with bullies who had stolen from her and her friends.

Nonetheless, Penny is not immune to feeling disappointed with Sticky. In "The Altos," she was upset with him for not defending her and her friends against The Altos, who had taken their money.

Despite occasional conflicts, Sticky and Penny's friendship remains strong and amicable.

Dijonay Jones

Sticky is the object of Dijonay's affection, but it's apparent that he doesn't reciprocate her feelings. Dijonay's unrequited crush on Sticky leads her to stalk and harass him persistently.

Their relationship takes a turn in the episode "Surf and Turf" when Sticky stands Dijonay up on live TV. She becomes resentful towards him and appears to move on to another guy. However, when she realizes that her new crush doesn't share her feelings, she reverts to her old ways and resumes stalking Sticky, much to his dismay.

In the revival series, Sticky reaches his breaking point and leaves California with his father to escape from Dijonay's unwanted attention.

Michael Collins

Michael and Sticky's friendship has endured for a considerable amount of time. Despite some incidents that have tested their bond, they have remained the closest of companions. However, Sticky has not always been the most trustworthy friend to Michael. For instance, in the episode "Who You Callin' A Sissy," Sticky deceived Michael by luring him into the girl's bathroom because of his feminine personality. This caused Michael to feel hurt and enraged, leading him to go on a rampage throughout the school. Yet, Michael's forgiving nature enabled him to forgive Sticky after he apologized. When Sticky relocated to Japan, Michael took over as the primary male member of Penny's group. Despite their differences, they remain devoted best friends and will continue to be so for the rest of their lives.
