Faye's parents -- huge age difference?

<< < (2/6) > >>

Kugai:
Hey, I just realised something


Faye before her father killed himself

A budding Daria?

Carl-E:
Well, she woulda had the requisite angst and snark, I suppose...

Frepp:
It's just an idea, but all of this occurs in a flashback, which means that it is Faye's interpretation of it

Because of this she is simply remembering what her dead father looked like, which could lead to her using a template image formed in early childhood. We tend to be quite favorable in remembering what people look like and so he could seem younger because that is how she remembers him - or the is how she wants to.

Storel:
Excellent point, and welcome to the forum!  8-)

Eddie 88:
Oh yeah, all that makes sense. The hair-dyeing sounds like it's probably the biggest factor -- my mom started going gray when she was in her thirties, but always dyed, so you couldn't tell. She's sixty now, and recently she fell and broke her hip. She was completely bed-bound for three months, during which she couldn't get to the salon to dye, so her gray hair grew out. Faye's mom (surprised that nearly 2500 comics in we still don't have her first name, given that we got her dad's during The Talk) probably stopped dyeing after her husband died. She even said he was the only man for her, she's not gonna remarry or anything.

Sorry to hear about your daughter, Carl. Is she better now?
