Postman Pat

Patrick "Pat" Clifton, known to his friends as Postman Pat, is the main character of Postman Pat. He is the village postman for Greendale and the head postman for the Special Delivery Service in Pencaster. Pat lives at Forge Cottage in Greendale with his wife Sara and son Julian, who is six years old. His pet cat Jess also comes with him on his post rounds.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He is a classic British cartoon icon like Danger Mouse, Pingu, Bob the Builder, and Thomas the Tank Engine.
 * 2) He is a competent postman.
 * 3) He is a good parent to Julian and a good husband to Sara.
 * 4) He wants to make sure everyone has their mail at the end of the day.
 * 5) He also wants to make sure all of his friends are happy.
 * 6) He is genuinely a polite person who treats Greendale with respect.
 * 7) His iconic friendship with his black-and-white cat Jess.
 * 8) He is beautifully animated with visually-pleasing stop-motion.

The Only Bad Qualities

 * He is a bit of a Gary Stu. Everyone loves him and he rarely does anything wrong.
 * Hasn't been seen much in the United States, making the character rare and almost even obscure in the US.
