Starchy

Starchy, sometimes spelled Starchie, (voiced by Tom Kenny) is the Candy Kingdom's residential gravedigger. He first appears in "Slumber Party Panic," in which he is frightened by a Candy Zombie and suddenly explodes while delivering a larger corpse shovel to Princess Bubblegum. He was later revived by the decorpsinator serum.

As revealed in "Graybles 1000+," Starchy faked his own death to escape from the Candy Kingdom during the events of "Jake The Brick." The storyboard of the former implies that he was cloned, as his gravestone reads "In memorium of Starchy 1, eaten by a Grass Lard. He loved to walk," meaning the Starchy that appears in episodes taking place after "Jake The Brick" isn't the original one.

Starchy was briefly married to Cherry Cream Soda, who was attempting to get over the death of her recently deceased husband Root Beer Guy, but upon his resurrection as Dirt Beer Guy, Starchy was immediately threatened and tried to re-bury the zombie. Cherry Cream Soda was appalled by this and left him, deciding to date Dirt Beer Guy and get to know him again.

In addition to grave digging, Starchy also appears to work a variety of jobs in the Candy Kingdom, such as mailman, janitor and train conductor. He also explores his superstitious, conspiracy-seeking nature through activities such as his late-night radio call-in show "Graveyard Shift", which aired its fifth anniversary special during the events of "Blank-Eyed Girl," and his leading of the Veritas Brigade, a group that seeks to uncover the dark secrets and activities of Princess Bubblegum, whom he distrusts. He repeatedly attempts to uncover untoward activities by her (though correctly guessing she was replaced by a lizard replicant), faking his own death, and voting for the King of Ooo in the princess election.
