About
Towelie is a Smart Towel RG-400 first manufactured by Tynacorp to make people dry as needed - or, according to Tynacorp's enemies, to make them too dry. After discovering marijuana, he got high and sort of wandered off however, and soon found himself in South Park, where he eventually began trailing the boys and getting them embroiled in a TynaCorp plot involving Gary, Towelie's successor, allowing Towelie to gain compassion before escaping.
Now free to live his own life, he tried to make it in Chicago as a waiter and a writer but his memoirs fell victim to a scandal on the Oprah Winfrey show. He moved back to South Park and after an appearance on the TV series Intervention in "Crippled Summer", Towelie kicked his drug habit, and now lives with his girlfriend Rebecca and their son Washcloth again.
He continues to give towel advice to people in South Park to this day.
