Bandit Custard Heeler is a main character in the Australian preschool animated television series Bluey, created by Joe Brumm. Employed as an archaeologist, he enjoys playing with his daughters, Bluey and Bingo, and takes seriously any role he is assigned in a game they devise despite often being seen as reluctant to play along. He often teaches life lessons to his daughters while he plays with them, but this strains his public relationship with them in some episodes. Bandit has been acclaimed as a positive father figure by many parents and critics.
