David is Marty's best friend. His life is not at all like Marty's. He lives in a big, two-story house in Friendly. His mother is a teacher and his father works for the Tyler Star-News. His mother makes fancy lunches for David and Marty and sits down to eat with them. (When David visits Marty's house, Marty's mother gives them a bag lunch and they go up on the hill to eat.) David always has different toys to play with and lives a privileged life in comparison to Marty's life. In spite of the differences in the way the two boys live, David and Marty are best friends. They seem to enjoy each other's company and their differences seem to complement each other.
