Overview


Lanolin Sheep is a U.S. Acres character and the second-to-last introduced main character in the strip (before Bo).

Physical appearance[]

Lanolin bears a strong resemblance to her brother, Bo, with two large cartoonish eyes with a white sclera, black pupils, and eyelashes. Lanolin has wool on her ears, a pink muzzle with a small nose, a plump body, as well as short legs with pink hooves. She is always seen wearing a bow on her head, which is depicted as pink in the comic strip and blue in Garfield and Friends.

Personality[]

Lanolin is responsible and hardworking, but she is also the polar opposite of her brother: rude, loud, disagreeable and short-tempered, though she tends to deny this. She and Bo normally disagree over petty things, although there are times when the two can agree, usually when it comes to helping the gang out. She is very blunt in her speech and is rarely in a good mood.

In the comic strip, she was much more abrasive and disrespectful than in the television series. She revealed that she has wider arms and fingers than Roy during a fight, and was the only one who could put Roy in his place. In fact, she and Roy seem to enjoy picking fights with one another. When it comes to Roy's practical jokes, she is usually the first one to see through the ruse and interferes to make the jokes backfire on Roy. She also seems to love pranking Roy as much as Roy loves pranking others.  At one point, she is revealed to like "Romeo and Juliet" due to the fact that the couple dies at the end.

Despite Lanolin being mean to Bo, deep down she cares about him, but she has a funny way of showing it because he is not so bright and she always mistreats him. She can be protective of his brother when he is in danger. 

Despite her bad qualities, Lanolin does have her kind moments, as shown when she holds Roy's beak closed while she and the other barn animals complimented the scraggly tree Bo had brought back. She also sometimes shows genuine kindness to Orson (mainly in the cartoon) as he seems to be the first person outside of Lanolin's family to show any kindness to her. She can also be protective of Bo when he is in danger. 

Trivia[]

  • She is named after the sheep bearing product known as lanolin, which is a wool grease.
  • As shown in the November 20, 1987 strip and "Rooster Revenge", Lanolin's favorite food may be strawberry ice cream. In the November 20, 1987 strip, Bo teases Lanolin about strawberry ice cream supposedly being served for dinner instead of the usual slop, which causes her to drool at the very thought. In "Rooster Revenge", she, Booker, and Wade are enjoying strawberry ice cream. 
  • Other than Blue, she is the only female U.S. Acres character.
  • In the TV series and early books, her bow is blue. In clipart, her bow is pink.
  • In the cartoon, although she is shown to be grumpy, she is nice (at times) to Orson (possibly due to Orson showing kindness to her).
  • Lanolin appears the least often out of the main characters in the cartoon.
  • In the cartoon, Lanolin is often shown doing laundry, even though none of them wear clothes, as Roy points out in one episode.
