Trivia

• They are a part of the mixed cogs featured in Cog-O-War.
• Pencil Pushers are actually smaller than Flunkies on the Toontown website.
• The Pencil Pusher's trading card shows him lunging at a Toon rabbit to push him off the edge of a building.
• On the trading card, its head is flesh, but in the game, it is the color of wood.
• On the trading card, its suit is dark-blue, but in the game, it is brown.
• On the trading card, the Pencil Pusher looks muscular; however, in the game, it is skinny.
• In-game, their head looks like a pencil that has been broken and has been used plenty of times, therefore, its color is grey.
• The Pencil Pusher's weakness is the Glass of Water because lead sinks in water (despite the fact that pencil "lead" is actually made with graphite now).
• When a toon tries to battle a Pencil Pusher while it is flying away or entering a cog building, they say "Push off", and make the rare sound used when a cog says two words.
• Most of the Pencil Pusher's attacks involve writing since its head is shaped like a pencil.
