We don't know much about Marigold's parents. That could also be a really interesting development story.

Oh I wanna see a Marigold backstory arc! ^^ Good thought/post ^^

We've already pretty much gotten the backstory, between what Mom said in her visit to Northampton and what we got in the flashbacks (thanks to Dr. Case AND Station).
It's somewhat Ironic that Jeph put out one of his best strips on a night when things just went kerflooey for him.

The person I meant to quote was hung up on the expense of space travel and how frequently could the station (little s) be resupplied. I have no idea how I missed so badly. [/quote]
No harm done. I agreed. It's a comic book. Logistics aren't something that pops into a writer's mind with everything.

Well, yes, we knew the third person narrative, but hearing it (seeing it?) said by the first person has more emotional impact on me. Her mother's version had more to do with Mother not knowing how to deal with her daughter and Dr. Case's version was clinical. Also, I hmm... maybe... just maybe... could be... tying in to some personal baggage. Nah, that could never happen!
jwhouk:
That is a hallmark of this comic. People RELATE to these characters. That's why Jeph's got himself a comic that's entering its third millennium of strips.
Schulz and Davis should be so dang lucky.
(EDIT: Fixed... I'm getting old.)
