Ahh, Aunt Marge. What would this strip do without you? Aunt Marge is one of the characters whose appearance did not change at all during the re-draw/re-write phase of Just Caitlin. As a kid, Aunt Marge's character was so gleefully oppressive I decided it had to be her to help open the strip. Looking back years later, this was a pretty good idea, considering Aunt Marge's behavior is the perfect catalyst to get Caitlin into Obnoxious Mode.
And for those of you who are wondering: NO, THERE IS NO REAL-LIFE AUNT MARGE! Aunt Marge is 100% completely fictional; if there were a real-life Aunt Marge she would never have made it into the strip, as I strove just as hard then as I do now to keep the real world out of Just Caitlin. Back, Real World, back!
