FCHS - Know Your FCHS Lions (Part 4)
Posted by Vito Delsante on Saturday, October 20 2007 at 9:06 am
Leading up to the December debut of our new weekly strip, FCHS, Rachel and I thought it would be cool to introduce you to our cast, one member at a time. As the strip starts off during summer vacation right before Senior year, we figured you might have “missed” the previous three years, since they happened off panel. We’ve already met Kennedy Sanders, Julia Faraday, and Hector Smith. Today, we have Dane Foreman:
Rachel Freire: Smart, athletic, always willing to be a pal and help a fella out. A bit shy and oblivious when it comes to girls.
Vito Delsante: Dane represents my two best friends from school, one of them more than the other, at least when it comes to his family (in a completely unoriginal move, I actually named his younger siblings the same names as the real “Dane” but in my defense, I really like those names). Dane, the character, is, like Hector, optimized for the sake of the story. When you put Hector between Dane and Reilly (who we’ll meet soon), you can see the two extremes for how Hector sees himself. Dane is driven to success, which may or may not be due to the fact that his father is a constant presence in his life. For Hector, that means that Dane is not only his best friend, but his greatest competition. One thing I failed to mention is that Dane has a lifelong crush on Jules, which, if you remember the initial promo piece, had Jules thinking about Hector, Hector thinking about Kennedy and Kennedy thinking about Dane.
And yes, if you ask me, they are imagining their crush objects naked.

Looking forward for this strip. Kinda reminds me of Archie comics, only with fewer casts. :)
