Jake Morgendorffer: Difference between revisions

Jake Morgendorffer was the son of an emotionally abusive father, nicknamed [["Mad Dog" Morgendorffer]], who (as Jake remembers it) tormented his son mercilessly and ultimately shipped him off to [[Buxton Ridge Military Academy|military school]] the first chance he got. Jake's time in military school further traumatized him, as his parents refused to visit him and all but forgot about him until graduation. Little is known about Jake's siblings, though it is possible he had an [[Jake's Older Sister|older sister]].

 

 

Like many hippies, Jake and Helen rejected the 1960s counter-culture by the end of the 1970s and began working in the corporate world. Jake in particular began work in the advertisement industry, with little success. Adding to his strife was the fact that Jake worked for a rather controlling boss who treated Jake poorly (whom he referred to as a "mini-Mussolini" in the episode "[[Boxing Daria]]") and further verbally abused Jake on a regular basis.
