Henry Ventriloquest and the L for Laughs workshop 🎳🧸
From 1920-1960, the L for Laughs workshop was an animation studio for hire, usually doing adverts or to assist another animation studio. A lesser known fact is that the workshop created its own original cartoons, staring it's most prominent character, Henry Ventriloquest
Art evolution of Henry Ventriloquest's design in-universe
I imagine that he began more alike a Fleischer studios type of character, then his middle evolution would be more like a loony tunes era for his design, then finally he's more slick and modernized for a colored cartoon character)
(More lore under read more :)
Gabe Geppettoamicoitaliano, or Animator G for short, was a senior director for the animation department. He created Henry Ventriloquest in his own image. He gave him his matching his overalls, bowtie, and misaligned eye.
He based his personality on some trouble-making tendencies he had as a child. He loved his little creation with such sincere fondness, he always wanted Henry V to be real, and then he was.
The choice critters are the mini mascots of LFOR workshop, they were sold as toys back in the day. Henry used to play with them and believed they were real like him. G never really cared for the other mascots, but he knew how much they meant to Henry, so he took the time to treat the toys like they were alive as well.
G never thought he'd grow this attached to Henry. He knew he liked his creation, it's just that he never thought he'd grow as anything more than his original concept as a trickster. But then, he watched him as the boy developed a curiosity for the world he now lives in.
His excitement for every new "adventure" they would write for him never faltering. Henry loved living in the real world. G knew he should actually start treating him like he was a real boy, teaching him real-world values, while still letting him keep that mischievous glint inside of him.
Because he couldn't actually stay as a cartoon forever, could he?
LFOR workshop disbanded by the end of the 1960s due to funding problems and a lack of finances to pay their workers. Henry was sad to see his home close down, but G promised they're going to be okay. With that, they packed their bags and walked away.
It has been 94 years since Henry V was created in LFOR's workshop, and Henry V is still 28 years old.

Ronald's Return (A T3Nsion comic strip)
Charles' & Ellie's fathers return after being lost at sea for over 16 years. Showing up just a week before Charles and Henry’s wedding. They let these two borrow some clothes until they can buy them some of their own.
However, Ron has some difficulty adjusting to many ideas. The Alphabet Mafia ain't one of 'em, but tech and dropping the ideas that kept him going are. He's a good man, with a good imagination.

9 Days Until LetterTale's 6th Anniversary! Here's a wonky ass Gabe for you, pretend he had a bad hair day. Anyways this fact includes some ableism, specifically to autistic folk and those with Antisocial Personality Disorder. So if you feel uncomfortable with that, scroll away!
I created the Nekane Condition based on the demonization I personally faced with my mother's side of the family due to my autism. Even worse, it also applied to my uncle with Antisocial Personality Disorder. We were both outcasted from most family events because most of the family viewed us as emotionless monsters. I used to be angry at my uncle for this, as autism was only viewed like this because he used to pretend he was diagnosed with autism and not ASPD/APD (what do people shorten Antisocial to??)
I now understand though that my uncle only did that thinking they wouldn't react as terribly to that then if they were just told the truth originally. He got better anyways, so its not like I should still be angry over something that happened before I was even born.
However my mom is still horribly ableist, especially towards my uncle. I created the Nekane Condition to vent my frustrations, and to show that even if there are bad people who seem to fit these stereotypes (like Mr. Greyson), there's some people who don't and everyone should be shown respect.
