The King of Town and The Poopsmith's Relationship

From Homestar Runner Wiki

The Poopsmith only ever shows respect to The King of Town, and never otherwise. The King of Town also seems to respect The Poopsmith and appreciate his help and friendship. Only very rarely does The King of Town insult The Poopsmith's smell and lack of cleanliness. Other than The Poopsmith's usual job of shoveling whatsit, he also often helps the King of Town with various other tasks, almost like a butler. The Poopsmith also sometimes plays a bodyguard role for the King of Town, being the fighting force of The Municipality, although in Where's The Cheat?, the King of Town was attacked by Coach Z and Strong Mad in the presence of The Poopsmith, who made no effort to intervene.
