Um... I thought Hope never went to med school pre-Fed? She dropped out of med school? What? I thought she had only been pre-Med... did I miss something or did it get retconned? |

re: hookers cops may indeed have the best prostitute stories, but sailors have a few too. when i was in the navy, i was accosted by hookers frequently, whether i was in uniform or not. somehow, they knew. never accosted pre or post navy even in exact same areas. whatever. once in san francisco, one accosted me and was quite persistent. not about 'business', it was an aggressive movie review. she insisted that i needed to drop everything and see das boot at once.

I don't think this was mentioned before, so sort of a retcon, but I'm also not sure it was ever explicitly said before that she didn't go to med school briefly. |

Das Boot is an interesting movie, but that is quite funny. Huh... we really need some sort of timeline to keep up with what Hope and Pat were doing pre-comic. Also, what the heck happened at Sea World? Inquiring minds want to know! :) |

She's exaggerating, slightly. I thought a single mention of med school was more realistic than her explaining an entire backstory to a prostitute. Yes, she was pre-med before Ben convinced her to go into journalism. Should I clarify this to not confuse readers? Young Fed was squished by a walrus. It was not his fault. Walrus will what walrus will.Also, I think it happened at the Boston Aquarium, mainly as I picture him growing up in some semi-rough area of either there or Chicago. Although very few aquariums actually have walrus exhibits so maybe Brooklyn... Clem... good lord. |

Clarification might be nice, some people (me) are easily confused. He got squished by a walrus? Heehee. Indianapolis Zoo has three walruses. One is named Brutus. I forget the names of the other two (another male, and a female). I've gotten to pet them/feed them fish through an enormous straw |

Squished by a WALRUS? The boy is tough... I hope it was a young walrus at any rate. |

Sea World? Where'd I miss the first reference to that??? Boston doesn't have a Walrus (insert Mayor Menino joke here (note: I think Tommy is a decent guy)). I think the Fed grew up in Southie. The Southie of All Souls by Michael Patrick MacDonald. Great Book! Fed got squished in Indianapolis on a weekend trip to see the Pats play the Colts (sometime after 1984 when they moved there). It was a roadtrip. His college roommate lived in Muncie. The roommate's girlfriend lived in Elwood. Fed always like to joke that roomie's GF was Elwood from The Blues Brothers. That's my invented back story and I'm sticking to it!

Here's what we know about the Fed and the walrus. http://agirlandherfed.com/1.154.html Chiefly, that it was trumped by nuns. |

Southie sounds right (I grew up outside of Boston and I luuuuuuuv those Irish Southie lads...). Or the 13-year-old Fed took an errant flipper to the head as the walrus made a Free Willy bid for freedom... Or his father took a toddler Fed to the aquarium, whose head somehow ended up in the walrus'(es'... essess?) mouth, and the worst part was when he had to explain this entire scenario to his wife... Really, when the only limitations are "walrus" and "hospital," the options are nearly endless. |

And the Nuns say "Bless you my child". I had forgotten that one and dug around a while and didn't find it. |

Moving (back) on to Das Boot stories, when I was doing my masters a guy in my corridor was doing some form of hydrography/oceanography (it was a while back and my memory is rubbish). One afternoon he came running into the kitchen, somewhat drunk and highly distraught, shouting 'Das Boot lied - the currents in the straits go the other way!!' great times. Thom p.s. I've been resisting the urge to question whether the younger fed was concealing a bucket, so i won't ask. |

It was not his fault. Walrus will what walrus will.
