Bertie's character progression

[questionable]

Does Bertie ever progress past being a buffoon? I'm on episode 18 and I want to continue listening! But Bertie feels more like a caricature than a character and his constant stream "HELLO!" "YES!" "I'M BERTIE" is beginning to feel more like an interruption and distraction than actually being amusing.

Without spoilers, I can say that Bertie definitely does get more character progression and backstory, so folk can better understand why he is the way he is. That said, Bertie *is* somewhat of a buffoon and a caricature, mostly by design.
