William "Bill" Nenniger is supporting character in the TV Series of Curious George. He is George's next-door neighbor and longtime friend.

Personality[]

Bill seems slow to realize George is a monkey, calling him a "city kid" throughout the entire series. This, paired without any interaction between Bill and other teenagers in the series, implies that Bill is perhaps not very socially savvy.

Bill, however, is shown to have a wide variety of knowledge about different Math and Science subjects, implying that he is simply socially impaired but has talent in other areas. He's also a Sprout Camper. Sort of like a Boy Scout. Bill also has very few on-screen family members, if any at all. Bill is one of the few children in the show to be shown to be employed - he has a job as a paperboy and a farm worker, despite his weird, childish behavior.

Bill cannot dance, and is shown to be a perfectionist. In addition, Bill is shown to have hobbies in keeping with a much younger child than him - including racing worms and flying kites. He also has bunnies and for some reasons behaves younger than he is.

Appearance[]

Bill has brown hair (that matches his skin color). He wears a blue baseball cap, red-and-white sweater, blue jeans and white sneakers.
