About "Howie"[]
Often called "Mr. C." By Fonzie, Ralph Malph, and Warren "Potsie" Weber, is the Father of Charles, or "Chuck", Richie and Joanie Cunningham and the husband of Marion Cunningham . Mr. C owned his own hardware store, Cunningham Hardware, as a profession.
Howard is portrayed as an understanding father, who wants to support his kids in any way to make them happy, but also teach them the consequences in life actions as well. Sometimes those actions of his kids, his wife or The Fonz can get on his nerves, but he doesn't do it violently (often).
Most of the jokes directed at him are either about him being chunky, or about how much he eats (The jokes about eating a lot are also directed at Potsie.) Sometimes, people joke about his Leopard Lodge hat (a leopard-print fez), too.
Howard used to be a cook in the army, which Richie and Marion often talk about.
