Hi all!!
I have a question about the nickname Emma has for Kathoo. I was wondering if it was refering to or maybe inspired by the movie, "What ever happened to Baby Jane?" or maybe a "Gypsy," referance. Os maybe it was inspired by aomething altogether different. If, maybe Terry, of anybody else knows, could you please let me know.
Thanks!

Whoops! (Boy is my face red) But I'd like to know what inspired the name anyway.
Thanks!

Don't feel bad Lyric. For a long time, I thought it was Jane, too. I'm not sure why, but I just kept reading it that way.

Veronica explains in issue 36:
"Would you like to know EVERY FREAKIN' DETAIL? Hmm? Let's see...We called her BABY JUNE...Because she was so YOUNG and she had this EXTRAORDINARY TECHNIQUE that drove customers WILD...She used to..."
Not one of Francine's better days, that...

Um...not to sound like a TOTAL mook, but was that a quote, or have you just reached your stress leval for the day. What issue was that from? (If its a quote that is.)
Thanks again!

And then she procedes to take the trouble to put something 'in brackets', which generally implies a quotation.
Tomorrow will be better for you, I promise. Or, Veronica might come cut off your fingers to make you pay attention, which would suck.

Ok, ok...I see where I made my mistake. I was watching "Gypsy," with Natalie Wood and the little sisters stage name was Baby June, SO, I was wondering if Terry's inspiration for the nickname was from the movie. Does anyone know? Thanks!

Do we need to get some glasses for Lyric? http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif
I don't think Terry's ever mentioned where he came up with the nickname.

Ok, I am sorry for snapping. It was uncalled for. I am now suffeciently chilled. (I still really want an answer to my question tho) I compleatly understand why EMMA called her Baby June, but what I was wondering is what was TERRY'S inspration for the name, which I now realize, I may never know. It's all good.
Sorry Branflakes...too much caffine, plus mall anxiety had me all wiggy.

Whoa! Chill out, chilluns. The wink http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif means that the post was meant tongue-in-cheek, good-naturedly, no insult intended.
Two persons who might have given Katchoo that nickname are Darcy and Emma. The "Baby" part, of course, refers to her youth at the time; Brooke Shields once played a character called Baby. I have wondered whether Emma chose "June" because it rhymed with "tune" in the song she wrote for Katchoo. But that's purely a guess.
I really don't see much similarity to either the Natalie Wood or Joan Crawford movies.

Lyric, I don't know the answer, but my guess is that it is just something that struck Terry's fancy. He might not even know the origin of it. But I doubt he will tell us if there was something specific to it. Sort of the mystery of it all type thing. But ya never know!
