Kip seems like an emotionally disturbed person and I really think this reflects on his actions in the episodes. His voice is very husky and melodramatic which is a nice contrast compared to Nigel Thornberrys calm soothing voice. I personally think he helps develop the story and bring it to a more mature audience and helps the views find enlightenment and understand the meaning of life more on a personal level. - Jay Gill (Critically praised author)
