— Lacey, "Harvest Dance". |
Richard Henry "Hank" Yarbo is Brent's often unemployed best friend and most likely candidate for Dog River's village idiot. He often hangs out at Corner Gas talking to Brent about whatever is on his mind. He constantly borrows money from others and rarely pays them back, nor does he pay his tab at the Ruby Cafe, and is always wearing a hat because of perpetual bad hair days. Hank has worked a range of jobs, from census worker to crossing guard to city accountant, never being able to hold any down. Hank has experience in many trades including auto mechanics, gardening, knitting, woodworking and plumbing. He's portrayed by Fred Ewanuick. |
