Original Commentary

A few days previous, I decided on the name of these creatures. Why "Brant"? So that Brent would be both an obvious and ridiculous name for them, like having a cat named "Katt" - Terrence

Modern Commentary
And it's Marla O'Donnell, Charles' other half-sister!

She's one of the few characters to show up in person in both of our comics.

Why is there a separate brant adoption holding area?

If you keep the brants and the goldfish together, they will fight. That's why Brenna was returned - she kept getting into fights with the family's goldfish. And losing. - Terrence
