In this installment of The Timid Soul (November 29, 1926), I wonder if the blush on the billboard model is meant to indicate anything about her relationship with the other billboard model. Parahexavoctal fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Feb 5, 2021 |

ETA: Hit post too soon. I'd hate for you to miss Luann! The employees all leave the building right at the stroke of closing time. That's how restaurants work, right?

Counting the two billboard models, there are seven women in this strip. None are recurring characters, and all are visually distinct. The craftsmanship on this strip is astounding.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:This really doesn't sit well with me (I know about Lynn's problematic history). This kid is terrified of going home and Lynn's just clueless. I get the sense that if Mike told his mom that she still wouldn't give a poo poo. Is there a guide to the Dark History of FBOW? I know there was something with a RL divorce and a tacked-on happy ending. Always fascinated by sordid details of vanilla worlds.

The only pieces of it that I know for sure is something about leaving kids out in the cold “for their good” and that Lynn’s irl kids hate her. I think one of the kids is also LGBT but Lynn made them straight in the strip? Someone else might be able to fill in the details better.

The basics as I remember them are: The Husband Dentist left her because he was cheating with his dental assistant The Son is actually gay, obviously did not marry his childhood sweetheart as in the strip. The woman in question in real life died in a car crash and he was working as a photographer at the time and didn't realize she had died in a wreck that he took pictures of. It messed him up. The Older Dog died saving one of the Daughters from drowning when they were young. Memory is a little hazier here because either the Younger Dog or the Younger Daughter (both?) are a complete fabrication.

She left a kid out in the cold/snow without proper warm clothes on. The quote was something like "an angel told me I should let them back in."

April Foob is a fabricated entity, yeah. She exists to be the daughter the family didn't have which is weird because they don't like her.

To add on to this one: Lynn recounted the car crash incident pretty much exactly the same in the strip but instead the woman lives, falls in love with Michael and then they have multiple children. I can't remember exactly, but I think there was some other whitewashing of a real life situation with Elizabeth and Anthony as well. BigDave posted:I wanna say there was something about eating over a sink? But the many threads have become a blur to me. It was from an interview she gave after her divorce. quote:Not that her ex-husband would have behaved that way, she hastens to point out, but still, she likes the simplicity of single life, the ease of "sink dinners". Edit: Jeez, the car crash strips were a lot worse than I remembered: April 27th 1996 - May 11th 1996 Spoilering this because JFC: With this kind of heavy-handed and judgmental re-writing of history, it's no wonder her children don't want to talk to her. plainswalker75 fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Feb 6, 2021 |

The sad part is I highly suspect Lynn had PPD. Combine that with everything else, and it's a miracle worse poo poo didn't happen.

I, too, thank an Angel for that time I didn't kill my son. But now, well, now we can laugh about it.

IRL Liz went off to teach in a small northern community, where she dealt with aboriginal kids and groups, and was IIRC at least dating someone from that community. comic Liz ended up being brought back to her hometown to marry 'that nice boy' her mother liked, complete with a kid already from a previous marriage.

I can only imagine how terrible it must have felt for IRL Michael to read about this as it came out. And that's not getting into how Lynn made him straight in her wish fulfillment comic.

The RCA Building (which is now better known as 30 Rock) in the background is a clue -- Addams was probably thinking of the Sixth Avenue elevated line, which was torn down in the late 1930s and replaced by subways.
