Line 40:
At Middleton, he joined the hippie counter-culture and met his future wife [[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen]] there. The counter-culture was a calming influence to the seething cauldron of repressed rage and hatred for the world around him and for his father, and he became an extremely cheery optimist with a firm belief in the counter-culture's ideals and rejecting the modern world. He and Helen were arrested in summer 1969 as a student and once protested outside the Pentagon, where he got enraged and kicked the building. ("[[That Was Then, This Is Dumb]]") He attended [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altamont_Free_Concert Altamont ''Free'' Concert] and somehow ''got his money back'' ("[[Road Worrier]]"). Hippie friends included [[Willow Yeager|Willow]] and [[Coyote Yeager|Coyote]]
The couple graduated in 1972 ("[[The Daria Database]]") and moved into a commune together with their friends.

Like many hippies, Jake and Helen
Jake and Helen ultimately had two daughters, [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] (whom he often refers to as "[[kiddo]]") and [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn]]. By this point the family was living in [[Highland]], Texas, (home of [[Beavis and Butt-head]]). The family stayed there for several years before moving to the suburb of [[Lawndale]]. Although it is unknown whether Helen or Jake instigated the move, it has been implied that the change spurred Jake to start his own freelance advertising consultant firm. Jake could now enjoy the freedom of being his own boss, far from the stress-filled environment in which he used to work.
