ah, yeah.. forgot about the clock joke line.

and hey, all Trios are, at their base, some kind of re-working of the Triat. Three is such a fun number. heck, it even happens in real life, at times at least.

So Perhaps Dave is Mister Davenport’s Nephew, not Grandson.

This was never mentioned explicitly in the strip, so it’s not really canon, but in my mind Dave’s parents have been divorced since he was little and his dad isn’t in the picture much anymore, hence the occasional references to his mom but not his dad. His father is Bill Senior (remember, Bill’s the older brother).

Nice Jedi reflexes there, Dave.

Hmmm … Mell’s blunderbus has been previously seen in Chapter 4 of the Victorian Saga … so I’m not adding it to the Big Freakin’ ™ Gun count.

Saturday's Comic: It doesn't matter what kind of 'promotions' she may have received in life - deep down, Mell is and always will be just a servant maid.

Boy, that must really irritate her.

"i submit that dave looking like Mr davenport is just random chance. it happens. helen of course is a serries of clones. Mell. Well, i will put out this theory: Mel is the Angel of Death, incarnate."

Today in Narbonic: Director's Cut: Helen, Dave and Mell confirmed to be Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, respectively.

"Having the trio (plus Madblood, for that matter) reincarnated together, reminds me of a friend's take on the Abbot and Costello duo. They're always fighting, and Abbot says "I don't know why I stay with you", but he never leaves. My friend's interpretation was that he can't, because the pair are actually two parts of a single person."

Today in Narbonic: Director's Cut: Costello confirmed to be product of Abbott's imagination. Respective movies suddenly make complete sense.

Hm. i dont remember any mention of Dave's father through the comic. mother, yes (she is talked about, though never seen). and, well, i can only imagine that Mell's parrents are quite happy to be away from her. alive or dead.

hmm. Was Mr Davenport named dave? i cannot remember if his fist name is mentioned. well. notice that, apparently Helen narbon (beta's mother), didnt find a "mr davenport". she seems to be the typical loose cannon loner.

i submit that dave looking like Mr davenport is just random chance. it happens. helen of course is a serries of clones. Mell. Well, i will put out this theory: Mel is the Angel of Death, incarnate. Entrophy, decay, given form by some Mad-man (or woman) in some time past. just drifting down through time, keeping the name, playing the young gal, forgetting her past from time to time.

her ultimate goal? to end all existance. of course. also, obviosly, some helen narbon probley created her, though probley one further back than Victorian (or for that matter, Her mother).
