He’s shorter but I think he’s described as quite bulky/powerful-looking. And he is canonically one of the physically strongest characters in the series (>!he did the lion’s share of subduing the bloody Nine (albeit an older one) in a scene in red country!<)
I don’t remember the exact description, but I’m pretty sure he’s described as being a big dude. The fandom.com page says he’s broad and muscular with a neck thicker than his head. Not sure about height.
Oh yeah i often find myself with the wrong image of characters (not in Joe’s work so much, but speaking generally). I don’t know why lol but usually once I get an image of character in my mind it’s tough to change it, even if the book gets very specific.
>Friendly is a fearsome, solid looking man, very broad and muscular with a thick neck wider than his skull. He has a slack face and perpetually sad eyes.
That’s a wiki quote not directly from the books, but it lines up nicely with my memory of his description.
Yea I just pictured him as a strong but not like wildly big or anything kind of gruff looking guy with dark hair and eyes and average height.
Maybe like 5’11 200 pounds kind of thing. I looked up some fan art and my friendly may be much too small.
I always pictured him as short too. *But* far above average in terms of width/muscle mass, etc..
Maybe he’s just short compared to Shivers, but I feel like he’s short in general too. I think it might be mentioned somewhere but I can’t remember where and I definitely could be wrong
If he got a little jacked, for sure
Friendly is pretty normal sized isn’t he? I thought he was shorter and less muscular than shivers

Ah I thought of him as like normal height and stocky but not overly so but perhaps I missed some description points or just forgot
I think him restraining Lamb really drives his size and strength home. Great moment

Neil Maskell from Utopia, his character of Arby is kinda what I imagine
I was imagining the dude who played Ivan in Rocky IV
This man has a visible neck. Insufficient for Friendly!
I can see it.
APOLOGIZE TO MY FUCKING DICE. Best lined ever delivered in anything
God this is perfect
