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. Only once has The King of Town ever directly insulted The Poopsmith in The King of Town's Very Own Quite Popular Cartoon Show!!, where he tells him he smells like a "Crapsmith". Other than his usual job of shoveling whatsit, The Poopsmith 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.
