Fun Facts

• The Old Characters Page, now in the museum, said The King of Town was Marzipan's father. However, it is the only such reference on the site, and The Brothers Chaps have since reported in interviews (such as this one) that this was an idea they had early in the site's development but have since abandoned.
• At the Flashforward 2006 Seattle public appearance, The Brothers Chaps revealed that emails they receive asking about the characters' parents are one of the groups of emails that are virtually certain not to be answered.
