Daria and Politics: Difference between revisions

In the internal character bios for the production crew, seen in the ''Complete Animated Series'' DVD, Helen isand Jake were given political leanings, as well as being hypocrits when it came to them. Helen was said to be "a little more obviously right wing" than Jake and also a hypocrit; she was a constant volunteer in the community, and "believes her work on the Coat Drive should exempt her neighbourhood from having to put up with the half-way house". Jake was said to "consider himself pretty liberal, but that's mostly just a sentimental, nostalgic view of his old self" and that he was now apolitical "unless something threatens his money, or a neighbour is running for the school board". Most of this wouldn't make it into the show itself.
