Milky Joe

Candidate for Food And agriculture.



Howard creates Milky Joe -- a coconut on a stick -- whilst stranded on a desert island, to avoid boredom. As time progresses he becomes more realistic, until eventually he takes on a life of his own.

Milky Joe is French and has intellectual discussions with Howard and delivers lectures on geology - as well as other topics. In an attempt to equal Vince's coconut girlfriend Ruby, he dressed MJ as a girl, named Gemima. When this ploy fails, Howard says to Joe, "Well that was a great idea- I thought you were supposed to be an intellectual." Howard eventually tires of Milky Joe's conversation, declaring "the man's an arse". Later Milky Joe testifies against Howard and Vince in a coconut court, after the murder of Howard’s abusive coconut lover, Precious Lilywhite. Vince's response to this is to call him a "garlic twit". He finally appears on the 'Pie-Face Showcase' with his band, 'The Coconuts' who are introduced by Bob Fossil. Milky Joe's band steals Howard's "Isolation" song, and they apparently have a big hit with it.
