Details, Details…

And while I’m shaping the old things for new readers, I’ve got a few new things for the old ones. I’ve always kept some things in WYH deliberately vague.

And neither do the rest of us.

In fact, we don’t know much of anything about the characters in the strip. Sure, we know their personalities or who they’re recklessly impregnating. But where is Jason from? What’s Kevin’s major? Where the hell exactly is Oliver Otis University?

Well I’ve decided to answer a few of these questions and you’ll see the results in the coming weeks. Oddly, I think it’ll help me write the characters better.

I’ll keep Otis U’s location vague for now, like Hill Street Blues. That show seemed to take place in 12 different cities simultaneously. Oh… and Cory. I can’t bring myself to do it. He’s too much ‘me’ to give a fake bio, but too little ‘me’ to give him mine. He’s going to remain just Cory, from somewhere. Sorry, Jason.
