Princess of Town

Should there be a note (say in a Fun Facts section) that the KOT was mentioned as Marzipan's father, as per fun fact in Marzipan, although that is clearly no longer the case? Anagrammarian 20:48, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

• I think so. Makes sense --Ju Ju Master 19:45, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Done, although if this section should be called something other than Fun Fact (singular for now?), please feel free to change. Also reworded Fun Fact on Marzipan to match. Anagrammarian 02:50, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Edga

How about the whole, Edger, Edger jr, Edger's baby's daddy? Should that have a place here? I R F 02:54, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Strond Dad?

Should we mention the museum fan stuff picture of "Strong Dad as portrayed by Kevin Spacey?" :Mila 18:18, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Even though it's a fan creation, I don't see why not... --DorianGray

Reasoning

In my opinion, the reasoning behind not showing parents is because that means new main characters will have to be introduced into the Homestar Runner series, which would severly disrupt the formula for the toons. Parents would appear like a "jumping the shark"-type bit, and thus decrease the quality of the series (Rugrats ultimately was ruined after all those new characters were introduced). References to parents are acceptible, because it proves that they do have parents, but are not important enough to become main characters. Just a thought. --ThomasO 11:40, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Rename

What would people think about a rename to "Parents (and Other Family)" or something along the lines of that? This would allow a few otherwise homeless bits abbout uncles and such. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  09:58, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Robot Prospector

What about Tompkins' mom from the most recent Teen Girl Squad? I'd add it but I'm new and all so I'm asking first. → ☮y P … Y'all biscuitheads! 18:55, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Makes sense. Good catch. So makey outy 07:05, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Great-Grandmother of the Brothers Strong

The following discussion was moved here from Talk:Great-Grandmother of the Brothers Strong when it was decided to turn that article into a redirect to this one.

This information should really go on Parents. The character is too minor to have its own article (and may not even exist: Strong Sad could have just been annoying Strong Bad). Redirect. – The Chort 11:32, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, definately, she probably existed, but as we never saw her, and she wasn't even properly mentioned, merge.--~ SlipStream 11:41, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Unseen Characters. That's all i have to say except DELETED! — Defender1031*Talk 11:43, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree — redirect (to Parents). Trey56 14:49, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Objection to redirecting to Unseen Characters. Although we can add her to that list, I'd rather we redirected to Parents instead. Like their Mom and Dad, we never see her and there is more space on that article to add the information. – The Chort 14:52, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Added her to Mentioned Unseen Characters. Redirect to Parents, update links as usual. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  21:16, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
