History: Fangface is Sherman Fangsworth, the recipient of a family curse that makes him a werewolf. Luckily he's reasonably benevolent in his lupine form, except for wanting to eat Sherman's best friend Puggsy anytime anyone mentions food. Sherman himself doesn't know he is a werewolf. Normally the curse only affects one family member every four hundred years, but in this generation it's afflicted both Sherman and his baby cousin.

Sherman is a member of a group of friends who wander the U.S. in the "Wolf Buggy", an orange convertible, working as amateur detectives. The rest of the gang is quite happy to make use of Sherman's curse if it will help solve a case.
