"Listen here's the thing – I don't know what you kids are up to, but I do know one thing: laws are threats made by the dominant socio-economic, ethnic group in a given nation. It's just a promise of violence that's enacted and police are basically an occupying army, you know what I mean? You guys want to make some bacon?" ― Bud Cubby to The Bad Kids
The Cubbys are a family of openly political halflings that help the Bad Kids after their encounter with Johnny Spells.

They are first seen in Episode 4 when The Bad Kids come up to an intersection and one of the tiefling greasers, Billy Hellmouth, slams into their car on their way to get ice cream. Bud Cubby (the father) is said to have a thing on his foot to help him reach the pedal and something to help him see out of the back window. They return at the end of the episode happily eating their ice cream before picking up The Bad Kids for double ice cream. Bud comments on "how these kids are doing drugs" in relation to the crash and lectures Fabian about getting a helmet for safety on the Hangman.
They bring the group to Basrar's Soda Fountain and pay for the group's second ice cream of the day. They have a deep conversation about contacting the police about the palimpsest they have and power within the system and are described as "Anarcho-Socialists" however still being law abiding citizens. The children all go to Mumple School. Bud works as a postal worker and the mother (Daisy Cubby) works at Krom's Diner on the highway.
They don't appear again as a family however Bud appears in Episode 15 when he breaks The Bad Kids out of jail as a show against the police along with several other halflings in ski masks after being contacted by the Hangman. He gets into the police station by pretending to just be doing his postal worker duties but quickly turns pulling a lit Molotov cocktail out of his mail bag and opening fire against the entire precinct.
