I need some enlightenment here. All I remember is the rather stuck-in-the-mud gender roles.
I would like to headcanon Huckle as trans or intersex seeing as he's a calico boy but I kind of doubt Richard Scarry knew that detail about calico cats.
I wish this were the case but his publisher actually forced him to portray female characters in jobs other than nurse, teacher or stewardess. So he went back and did whatever he could squeeze in without altering the original drawings, like putting a hair ribbon on a construction worker.

He's a worm who lives with cats, does cat stuff all day, doesn't know any other worms, extremely eager to please, doesn't want to stand out...
