7-1: Mother

Apologies for lateness again. This time, my little art program decided to act up and wouldn't paste my work back into it. Piece of crap. If Photoshop wasn't so freakin' expensive, I'd get it.

So, here's Gary's mother. I haven't decided on what she'd do for a living, but here we see her on a day off.

Like many parents, Gary's are separated. This in no way is meant to reflect my own parents, who are also divorced, but… meh, things happen.

I don't know how much I'll really touch on Gary's family life, because it's a bit dull and would likely lead to drama, but I'd like to get the characters out there so people don't keep wondering, "Is this kid living on his own?"

If anybody feels like suggesting careers for his mom, feel free. I'd hate to think she makes a living off welfare and that check thingy to help pay for child expenses.

OMG, we're actually doing a weekend story during the week? Sure, why not. We can assume we're looking into Gary's future here, or that it happened this past weekend. Whatever floats your boat.
