Commencement / Foxbury (2)

Feng Recipient or not, Norma’s still Norma. she’s got the tools and contacts she needs to take care of her family, and create a good life for herself and her girlfriend Manami. She’s even secured a position with the Feng Conglomerate. She’ll be using part of her bonus to get a place with her girl, and the other half to help her parents Dusty & Teal pay for autumn‘s university expenses.

✏️ Pay of mind to baby Ed – he’s had a busy couple of days.

When it comes to careers, Manami is not doing too bad herself she’s gotten a column in a prominent queer digital magazine, and she is putting together her own website and lifestyle blog.

She and her girlfriend Norma have had the big talk - you know, moving in, marriage, future children (?), but there’s one issue that still needs to be dealt with. Speaking of which:

Seeing the look on his daughter‘s face, then seeing the girl she loves stand up for her more than he has… did it. 

Lee told Manami she’s right – she shouldn’t have to make him comfortable just to live her life. Everything is not for him to understand; all he knows is he loves her and doesn’t wanna miss out. So he’ll respect her and her partner from this day on.

Lee has a lot of work to do - he never got over Manami’s mother leaving; as a result, he has been holding his breath for the day when his daughter will leave him too. What he didn’t realize was that he was pushing her out the door. But he’s going to take to Norma‘s dad on his offer; he’s managed to raise two daughters and keep them close - Lee’d very much like to learn how to do the same.

Original Art - Two-Gun Kid #073 Pg 02 (1965) by Dick Ayers And Frank Giacoia

From ha.com...

Outlaw Hunk Galloway has the drop on the local sheriff -- until Matt "Two-Gun Kid" Hawk charges in to even the odds. Here is a splendid sequence from Marvel's resurgent heroic period, when editor/author Stan Lee sustained the creative momentum with the Western titles even as the company's revamped line of superhero titles was gathering steam toward the development of a coherent Marvel Universe. A marginal note indicates that Lee had intended to give the badman the name of Gab Galloway, a punning reference to jazz artist Cab Calloway. Ayers usually inked his own pencil compositions, but here Giacoia applies the right finishing touches to emphasize Ayers' virile and robust imagery.

WC: STRANGE TALES #129

This was the last issue of STRANGE TALES that I had gotten in the box of Silver Age comics that made up my Windfall purchase in 1988. As we’ve spoken about before, the series felt more and more like an afterthought, one that simply wasn’t as important to the line as books like FANTASTIC FOUR, AVENGERS or X-MEN. In only a couple more issues, editor Stan Lee would overhaul the title by sunsetting…

Graduates (1) 🎓

Manami Ayers

Communications Major / Foxbury / Ward Hall

Manami was raised alone (begrudgingly) by her father Lee after her mother “ran off”. She knows he loves her; just has a hard time saying it out loud. She’s looking forward to getting a little distance between them when she starts campus life; even better? She’ll gets to stay at Ward Hall with some of her best high school friends. Her girlfriend Norma’s dorm is right across the street, so that’s a plus.

Norma Sanchez

Finance Major / Feng Recipient / Foxbury

Norma’s been an entrepreneur since she opened her first lemonade stand. She swept the cookie drive every year. Simply put, she likes money – her papi Dusk has been a construction foreman for years, and her mama Teal is a tech analyst at a call center (but that’s didn’t stop her from having her little sister Autumn and her baby brother Ed; she had them and barely missed a day at work).

Norma has always dreamed of making enough money so her parents could retire and her siblings could get into university. Now, with this Feng Scholarship, she’s well on her way. 

She’s hoping she and Manami can get a place after Uni, but will that depend on Mr. Ayres? Norma knows he’s not a fan of their relationship (shame, because her family loves Manami). Guess we’ll have to wait and see. 

Orion Michelson

Neuroscience Major / Genius Scholarship /Foxbury / Ward Hall

No surprise that the OG Orion is a bonafide genius. Now she has to decide if she wants to use her expertise for science, medicine, or both. She’s thinking both. Her passion is genetics; she is hoping to win a grant for some research she’s been working on through high school inspired by her mother, Celeste. Her mother, her father, Christopher, and her brother Atlas couldn’t be more proud.

As for her boyfriend, Nikos? They’re cool right now. Both of them are focused on their research, so they’ve agreed to just enjoy the ride until Uni is over. Then they’ll reevaluate.

Nikos Vlados

Neuroscience Major / Genius Scholarship / Foxbury / Broussard Hall

Nikos was adopted as a baby; so he wouldn’t be alone, his fathers, Sorrel & Aster adopted two more children. He hoped for brothers, but it didn’t work out that way. He’s come to love his younger sisters Posy & Dearie very much.

He fell for Orion right away; after all, he did the research and he knew he’d never find a smarter girl anywhere. He already knows he wants to live in the lab – now he’s waiting to see what field his sweetheart will choose. He hasn’t mentioned it much to her, but when the time comes, he can’t wait for them to get married; the odds of genius kids are favorable.
