Thankfully, this weirdest of penguins can count on Tobias and Leia the kind of friends who are there no matter what life throws at him – strict art teachers, rabid packs of babies, role-playing games gone awry, and even occasional rogue science fair projects. Which is pretty much what ‘Oswaldo’ would call a normal day.
