Been a while since we’ve seen Earl…

Henry Winters
Professor? There’s a Mr. and Mrs. Hayes and family here to see you. They say they’ll understand if you don’t remember them.
Grampy
Hayes, hmm? I met an Earl Hayes in Texas when I was on the road. I don’t recall him mentioning a wife or family.
Henry
I believe this Mr. Hayes is that same individual.
Grampy
OH! By all means, Henry, show them in. Thank you.
Henry
If they’re amenable, I’d like to show the children to the kitchen for lemonade and sandwiches.
Grampy
Excellent idea, Henry.
Henry
Always my pleasure, Sir.

Rosa
Friends?
Grampy
More of an acquaintance. We played some pool when I was on the road coming here. He insisted on spotting me some money for travel since I’d lost my wallet.

Anya Hayes
Which you passed on to me with the name of a mechanic you thought would be reliable. And was he ever.

In our time that was about 2006 or so, right after Katrina.
KATRINA was mid 2005, thank you! The little town we were living in during that period ended up housing some of the refugees, and My Wife spent a night more or less camped on our front door step with a shot gun across her knees due to the roaming packs of refugees. They were corralled up at official centers the next morning.
RITA was a couple of months later, still in 2005. The hospital I was working at was last facility on the Louisiana side of the Sabine River that was fully operational as you went south from Shreveport to Lake Charles, and that was a rather noisy night!
“right after” as in the author was still writing a Katrina aftermath storyline which took forever. Not right after as in same year.
A guy that looks like Ace….and who is named Earl. Hmmm….
I wish I was smart enough to make the speculation that Earl is the guy who got away from the Greys. But, I’m not that kind of smart and should really shut up now.
Was sure made a comment, hope it’s just delayed in arriving
Just re-read “When Grampy met Earl” and may have been in error about Earl’s character 🙁
Andy’s already given us a link to the page with Earl so I’ll follow up with a link about the woman with car trouble; https://www.tmi-comic.com/comic/news-about-grampy/
Is it just me or are Earl and Anya making with the angry eyes? I don’t understand.
They’re under a lot of stress. Hard to show the difference.
So everyone here is assuming it’s Earl that kicked his way outta the gray’s ship? You sure it’s not grampy that did it? Because We know he’s a certified hardcase even now so I can’t imagine he was less action movie ready all those years ago. Just saying…
You believe the Grey’s couldn’t tell the difference? o_O
Ixie freaked out when they saw Ace, so it’s more likely to be the Mighty Quinn (because Deus is still shacked up with Mama and Trey claims no first-hand knowledge of Ultra-Planetary Individuals)
He said looks LIKE. Trey, Quide, Quinn all look exactly like Ace, and would be indistinguishable from him. My bet is Larry.
Depends on how old Earl is
Had a similar post, butt it didn’t go through
And now reply posts are not going where they should…
