Zigzag (Ricky)

Richard ''Ricky'' (b. June 26th 1980) also known as Zig-Zag was sent to Camp Green Lake for setting off fire crackers at a school that ended up setting off the fire alarms.

At Camp Green, Rick was in D-Tent. He is very tall and has a long neck and long blonde hair that stood up from his head. It is unknown how he received the nickname Zigzag, but since he got sent to Camp Green Lake after setting off firecrackers at his school, he could have received his nickname because of the zigzag movement that firecrackers make after exploding. When Stanley came to Camp Green Lake, he first asked Mr. Pendanski if he had told him about the yellow spotted lizards which Pendanski responds with now, let's not scare Stanley, Ricky. and X-ray responds hey, his name's not Ricky. It's Zigzag, alright? One day, after getting lunch from Mr. Pendanski Zigzag told Stanley that he would give Stanley his cookie and he would dig his hole for him. This was to show his disapproval of Stanley teaching Hector how to read. In exchange for Stanley teaching him, Hector would dig part of Stanley's hole. This was looked down upon by the rest of the campers. So when Stanley told Zigzag no, a fight broke out between them after they were prompted to by Mr. Pendanski. This ended with Hector choking out Zigzag while Armpit tried to pull Hector off of Zigzag. Mr. Pendanski had to shoot off his gun in order to get the boys off of each other. This ended with Hector running away after hitting Mr. Pendanski upside the head with a shovel. In the book Zigzag apologizes to Stanley Yelnats IV for beating him up at the end of the story. At the end of the movie when Mr. Sir gets recognized as Marion Sevillo, Zigzag says ''Marion, gee, I didn't know that was a man's name'.' Mr. Sir then replies ''It ain't''.

After Camp Greenlake

It is unknown what he did after Camp Green Lake but he got released after Mr. Pendanski, The Warden, and Mr. Sir (Marion Sevillo) got pounded. But he was shown in the Yelnats' new house at a party.
