Honoria Delaney-Forsythe
A while back aprilp_katje uncovered some old strip where Gerald talked about locker combinations and revealed his combination included his, his mother’s and his sister’s age. This told us that Gerald had an unseen younger sister to go along with his unseen older brother. aprilp_katje and qnjones discussed what they planned to do with the character. To date, all that happened was aprilp_katje posted she was taking home ec in the high school, like April did when she was in Grade 8. And I mentioned her briefly as a sitter for Anthony Caine, when my made-up character Alto Escurrido was chiding April for her irresponsible baby-sitting.
qnjones mentioned having Honoria kicked out of the same school where Gerald’s mom met her true love, Ronson van Daam. This required a little research. Back in the days when aprilp_katje was running yet another website of the Creative Writing Class where the adults in the strip would get to participate, qnjones wrote this incredible story giving the backstory of Gerald’s mom. The short version of the story is that when she was little and fat, Ronson calls her a fatass, her family hires a nutritionist who teaches her to live on a single celery stick a day, then after she loses the weight, she also loses her virginity to Ronson on her 16th birthday. The elements I included with Honoria and Jeremy baby-sitting at Anthony Caine’s house were taken from that story and of course I snarked the April / Gerald baby-sitting story again, while tackling the element of today’s strip which was that the artist seemed to be unable to draw Elizabeth so she didn’t look like Elly.
I envision Honoria as being driven to thinness like her mother, but she is a failure at it, despite her best efforts. I remember some years ago in my dating years, going out with a woman who felt it was necessary for me to know that even if she lost weight, she would still have big hips. And as proof, she mentioned a time in her life, when she got really sick and lost 30 pounds, and still had big hips. It is from this recollection, I could see Honoria's body being such that she could never match her mother for thinness. I also envision Honoria as blonde and very pretty, like her brother is blonde and handsome for a Foob guy.
As for where things are going with this, times have been lean on April's Real Blog for a guy who loves interplaying with other peoples’ characters. I had some good interplay with greytail088 doing her Vicki Simone, when I had Jeremy Jones dating one of her V-girls, Vanessa. I enjoyed seeing the marvelously creative susannamoodie interact her character of Zandra Larson with Jeremy Jones also. And of course, Howard Bunt is sticking with qnjones’ Becky McGuire to the bitter end. Becky and Howard are lined up to snark any house-buying storylines or any wedding storylines which may come into place, with their own house-buying and wedding plans. However, when it comes to April's Real Blog, aprilp_katje is the true model of consistency and I think using Jeremy interacting with Gerald’s sister to interact with Gerald to interact with April might be a good way to get her creative, snarking juices flowing.
Tomorrow’s strip: A boring strip gathers no joke.
