Ask the Cast: Dale

A bit of the thought process behind this one:

 My initial idea for Dale was "old widower who putters around and chats up people at the hardware store because he's lonely,"

 "Blonde Bombshell" immediately had me thinking of Dolly Parton who passed away recently, and

 "Canada" reminded me of Rita MacNeil, a beloved Canadian folk singer who passed in 2013. She was a large woman herself and tried to get clothing brands to carry larger sizes of clothing so plus size women would have more and affordable options, but none of the companies ever took her up on it.

Consider this a tribute to two greats! And now Dale is an old widower who putters around making custom furniture for large ladies and is a little bemused why there's more now, but he's just glad that they seem to be more accepted and loved.

This is really really good I like it and I know this seems a little late, but I do wanna ask Witt this question how did she become a blueberry girl in the first place?

*Slaps table* I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING

Rex Ivan

I love that these random side characters have such heartfelt backstories. Good stuff

Smartie

Bro wants to make big ladies feel good to honor his wife he deserves the world

Chumlee99

Did you at least kiss that brick goodbye before throwing it at my face? I was expecting like no she ain't fat, or Dale just laughs it off with a little wink to the audience that she is, instead I was given the FEELS right to the jugular

Thank you! The Ask the Cast questions are great for making me think of stuff I wouldn't otherwise. I'm thinking now I can give Dale a small role helping at the cabin when Don't be Picky resumes. :D

My headcanon right now somewhere their daughter is carrying on her mother's legacy as a talented musician traveling the world with a song called, "Big Mama" all about her Mother and it brings audiences to tears and has 2 billion views on WhyTube

Dale: *Scratches his head* Well, if we're gonna remake this a cabin big enough for you Missie, we're gonna need a lot more help and a whole forest of lumber. Katie: And you know a competent electrician too?

"Did you kiss that brick before throwing it" is going into my phrasebook ahaha. But yes, I threw it tenderly with love for my favourite fan to deliver a critical feelings strike 😘

Smartie

Is she of size too?

Chumlee99

I’m going with Daughter A: Is slightly smaller due to how often she’s on the road and walking around, but Daughters B and C who developed the fashion brand in their mother’s memory are both well pass her in size now but all 3 of them look just like her ( they had to move away but talk to Dale as often as they can and try to visit every Christmas even if it is getting harder and harder due to how immobile both of them are growing once they discovered Wacky Candy)

Smartie

B or C is a home schooling single mom and her only child is going to grow up with a specific taste in women based on his old lady

Wait... Who's Dale? Which comic was he in?

Smithersons

This is so wholesome. From a running gag to a heart wrenching backstory of a background character. That’s such a beautiful way to incorporate this idea into the story. Phenomenal work Opik, you truly are an artist of great caliber. Never forget that.

Smithersons

He’s a background character that has appeared in the wacky candy comic series a couple of times. He’s a nice person and treats people well, just an all around good guy and member of the community.

WritKobold

Dale was in the latest comic I believe. He was the handyman that offered to help Corey and bailed her out of an awkward convo with Whitt.

Travis Akin

Good for you, Dale. She was gorgeous.

Robin Sjostrom

She'd make one of the best berry girls.

Chumlee99

Naw, Wacky Candy would go she's more valuable as PR for us and gets her to record a smash hit album that brainwashes ladies into eating way more and getting way way fatter than they normally would on Wacky Candy products alone

Max Johnson

I didn't expect this reveal about Dale.

Alec"s Corner

Fun King of the Hill reference without it feeling too on-the-nose, R.I.P. Nancy

Robin Sjostrom

That's true, they could sponsor her and she can become an influencer for wacky candy.
