Alfred "Al" Abbott is the alphabetician who makes the letter A for the alphabet soup Martha eats. He is laid off when Granny Flo decides to cut costs by getting rid of half the letters for the soup, but gets it back after he shares his last can of complete alphabet soup with Martha, who scares Granny Flo into giving everyone back their jobs.
He is generally calm and laid back but can get nervous and was confused when he learned Martha could speak.
