In which Jennifer and Danielle’s philosophy professor encounters a hostile out-of-towner.
FIRST APPEARANCE – Nathan Bostworth
Nathan Bostworth was originally a “dumb strong guy” character created for one of the Scwonkey Dog scripts I wrote back in high school. Unfortunately for the characters I’ve been creating as the modern series has gone on, I occasionally saddle them with terrible names I came up with years and years ago. Poor Nathan here wound up with this one, despite the fact that it’s a weird name to give a black college professor with weird martial arts powers. That would be the one point of similarity: both are physically powerful characters. I suppose that’s why I did things the way I did.
Also noteworthy: this is the first appearance of the dumb yellow and purple androids that plague our heroes. These guys have been in circulation in my Scwonkey Dog stories since I was in grade school. For instance: classmate Byron Boldrini played one in a Scwonkey Dog play I wrote in my fifth grade gifted class. I got to drop a cardboard fifty ton (I think) weight on his head.
