Dear Sir,
I have seen most of the work of the `Terrible Trio' in the comics
and one story, when one of the sisters was faking pregnancy, had me
wondering just what was their relationship, and their mothers, with
that human?
Okay, well, first of all, the comics that have the trio and humans
in them are totally out of continuity; they are jokes for the sake
of making jokes. The sisters aren't really as bad as they are
portrayed in the multi-species comics, either. It's sorta like
there are two different versions of what's going on in their lives.
In the humorous version, they live with Jim, who got suckered into
watching over them while Val stays busy with work, etcetera. In
the "real" version, they only stayed with Jim for a short period of
time, while their mom had to take care of some business up north
(see the "Staff Page" for more info). In the humorous version, Jim
is human (as are most of the other bit players). In the "real"
version, Jim is a porcupine.
In any case, Jim keeps his hands off the trio, although they often
try to get him in trouble because, well, it's fun to see him get
into trouble. He is good friends with his boss (Valencia, the
mother), and does his level best to tolerate the hi-jinks of the
sisters. The relationship of these individuals is akin to one
shared by close friends, but nothing intimate.
--JMH, finally getting to a few of the questions in that folder!
