WCDT - Strips 4691-4695 (3rd to 7th January 2022)

BenRG:
New character time and welcome to the cast Emmett! I've no doubt that everyone is as interested as I am to find out who he is and what his role will be. Likely a serious introvert given the traditional floppy "I don't care about my appearance" look and the way that talking to Faye nearly caused serious injury. Given how extrovert Sam is, it's kind of an artistic obligation for her to have a seriously-withdrawn best friend, so I feel pretty assured in this analysis.

However, who is he really?

Personally, I think that he's a fan of either Sam's sprays or, more likely (given the direction the strips have gone in recently) a fan of Sam's LP videos on-line who has travelled far, maybe from the other side of  town, to meet his famous idol!

By the end of this visit, his world is likely going to have been changed forever.

Oh, additionally, I'm expecting Sammett to be a ship with a violently fanatical following no later than the end of this week. Hell, I'm sure that there are already fan-fictions in the works even as I type this!

Mr_Rose:
Because you’re looking on the wrong aisle Bubbles; the ones in your size are in Sporting Goods, in the Camping section.
Or you could ask Emily to knit you one but you have to promise not to look too closely at the weave…

DaiJB:
"Other"  (Natch)

Emmett is a relative of Marigold (same hair and social skills as Original Marigold), visiting Marigold's family.
(I assume Marigold's father lives in the vicinity, seeing as how he visited her that one time: #2198).
Like Marigold, Emmett is a reclusive shut-in, and only agreed to come along because he'd met Sam online and wanted to meet Skullmaster in real life.
Naturally, Sam being Sam, she wanted him to meet everyone she knows, much to his discomfort.  :-D

Wombat:
My first guess about Emmett was that they might use they/them pronouns, but I suppose we'll see. I'm interested to learn more about Sam, so I'm looking forward to her and Emmett's interactions.

Farideh:
I voted 'relative'. Like DaiJB, I feel Emmett has Marigold-like vibes. They might be a cousin, or even a younger sibling?
