Honestly, I never really cared for most of faf comic's stuff, but I really liked the concept for his comic, Hetty. I was actually interested in the comic when I found it years ago. It was a shame to learn about what faf comics did, and that the rest of the comic would be both highly exclusive, and likely never finished.
I still have some ideas about some of the romance drama aspect of the story.
1. Hetty either, gets directly caught by Jimmy for unapologetically permitting Mike (the mule character) to have his way with her, takes her rude and greedy behavior towards Jimmy, way too far, or both. Jimmy then kicks Hetty out, Mike leaves Hetty, and Hetty is forced to fend for herself for several days with no home. She cannot go back to her mom yet because of the lies she told her.
2. Jimmy pays off most of his debt by working summer jobs, while Hetty is away. Hetty refuses to work as a stripper, and eventually decides comes back to Jimmy. Jimmy inevitably lets Hetty back in, like doormat of a character he is.
3. Jimmy is still emotionally distant from Hetty, while Hetty is somewhat thankful to Jimmy and remorseful of her actions. While Jimmy is at work, Hetty at least cleans up after herself, does some of the chores, and saves at least a tiny bit of the food for Jimmy. This goes on for a few weeks. Hetty does not fully redeem herself, and she sometimes acts like a total Bitch. But the two open up emotionally and agree to get along. At the very least, the cuckoldry is kept to a minimum.
4. Mike decides to message Hetty near the end of the summer, and invites her as a contestant on the cable-TV show she watches, and that Mike works on. Hetty and Jimmy (who is reluctant), accept. Isabelle (the massive pig character), Mike's partner, is introduced. Unlike Hetty, Isabelle is polite (at least while she is not left hungry), and very compassionate. The show begins, with Hetty as one of the contestants. Isabelle, being a regular contestant, wins as she often does. While Hetty cannot keep up with her, or the some of the other contestants, she still places highly and gets plenty of screen time.
5. Jimmy's mom calls her son over the phone to check on him, and to inquire about the spike on the balance on one of her credit cards. Jimmy's mom jokingly asks if Jimmy was feeding a wild, ravenous wolf while she was gone. Jimmy makes up a lie and redirects the conversation. Later, Jimmy's mom comes back from her business trip a few days earlier than scheduled. She comes home during the day while Jimmy is out working. There is a very comical and awkward interaction where Jimmy's mom meets Hetty, sleeping, belly up, hardly wearing any clothing, on top of her now broken bed.
6. Jimmy comes home later, surprised to see his mother waiting for him, along with Hetty. She is less than pleased to hear what Jimmy has to say for himself. Hetty, ashamed and worried, admits to Jimmy that she called her own mom and told her where she was.
7. Hetty's mom shows up to the home the next day. Hetty's mom, who already confirmed that Hetty never went to any summer camp, had heard about her daughter's appearance on the show alongside Jimmy, and who knows her daughter well, quickly figures out what was going on. She is also less than pleased to see her daughter fatter than ever.
8. Jimmy and Hetty agree that the ordeal was a bad idea, and that they make a bad couple. The End.
What do you all think of this take? I'm not much of an artist, but I do know how to write a story.
