| rdfs:comment | - Martin Earl "Marty" Wright (b. 1945), known to his children as "Dad", is the absent-minded, albeit well-meaning, overweight father of Nate and Ellen Wright. He is known to be a non-skilled golfer, and uses Nate as his caddy, often requesting him to fish out his played golf-balls, and occasionally his club as well, from the course's ponds and frequently embarrassing them both in front of other people, who usually are hurt from Marty's golf balls. He was the assistant Coach for Nate's baseball team at one point, which for some reason always has some humiliating names from humiliating sponsors.

| abstract | - Martin Earl "Marty" Wright (b. 1945), known to his children as "Dad", is the absent-minded, albeit well-meaning, overweight father of Nate and Ellen Wright. He is known to be a non-skilled golfer, and uses Nate as his caddy, often requesting him to fish out his played golf-balls, and occasionally his club as well, from the course's ponds and frequently embarrassing them both in front of other people, who usually are hurt from Marty's golf balls. He is renowned throughout Nate's town for giving out disgusting (according to the trick-or-treaters) Halloween "treats" such as rice cakes, vegetables and prunes (apart from one year where he forgot to purchase any candy at all) and cooking terrible food (According to Nate, every year's Thanksgiving dinner always sets off the smoke alarm). Whenever his children, Ellen and Nate, request him to purchase a pet (a cat for Ellen or a dog for Nate) he always refuses. One time, his dad found a cat under their porch and took her in until someone claimed the cat. He once chaperoned on Nate's Timber Scouts camping trip, but ended up ruining the experience for everyone after being sprayed by a skunk because he scared it. According to Nate, everyone smelled of skunk for a whole day. He was the assistant Coach for Nate's baseball team at one point, which for some reason always has some humiliating names from humiliating sponsors.
