Selectric-kun personifies all Selectric typewriter models, as well as Selectric-based computer terminals and the MT/ST word processing system. He is depicted as an overweight man of average height, with short dark gray hair and gray eyes - though his eye color changes periodically, usually to blue or red. He generally wears a gray three-piece suit, but he is known to have a large wardrobe and occasionally dons outfits in flamboyant, 1960s-retro colors (referencing some of the strange case colors used on the Selectric). He was originally described as balding, having a mustache and wearing a porkpie hat, though these features have sometimes been omitted in drawn and written depictions. | Selectric-kun personifies all Selectric typewriter models, as well as Selectric-based computer terminals and the MT/ST word processing system.
