Cameos | {{{cameos}}} |
Wallace Sonky (Deceased), in his time created items (known as Sonkies) designed to keep the population of Ankh-Morpork down. Sam Vimes was heard to say that "the housing shortage in Ankh-Morpork would be a good deal worse if it wasn't for old man Sonky and his penny-a-packet preventatives".
Sonky's products are free to all City Watch employees, on the basis he didn't want more watchmen produced. They sell for a penny a pack and do not come in fun flavours like Cheese and Onion.
Buggy Swires buys them as and when he has to. From the point of view of a gnome, they make excellent waterproof macs for rainy nights.
He came to a rather rubbery end in The Fifth Elephant when he was found in a vat of his own molten latex, producing a life-size, full-body Sonky.
