Line 25: When “Tales from the ‘Burbs” launched it contained 5 stories. Milo and Kara Wild wrote one “tale” each, and Thomas wrote three. A quick synopsis of each story follows, in the order they appeared in the issue. “The Braineating Football Player” by Thomas. Kevin is having a problem maintaining his grades, and that might cause him to lose his place on the football team. However, with the help of Andrea, Kevin finally ~~get~~gets a brain, or two, only to discover that in this modern world, one must take extra care with ones diet… “Hearts of Lawndale” by Milo. Poor Stacy is the girl who has “loved and lost and loved and lost” so many times, that when she meets her special someone, she makes a deal with Andrea and sells her soul to the devil and (quite literally) wins her young mans heart. Line 31: “Music to Die For” by Thomas. Trent is (still) having problems making it to the big time in the music business, but a little quick surgery by Mad Scientist Ruttheimer gives him a voice to die for. It’s a shame his career is still going to the dogs… ~~“Revisions”~~“Revision” by Kara Wild. Helen has found the secret of eternal youth, thanks to a spell she finds in “The Business Woman's Guide to Successful Sorcery” where the prime ingredient is Daria’s unrequited love of Trent. But when Tom and Daria kiss, things start getting ugly… “Heathers II” by Thomas. Finally, Daria gets her chance to star in her own “tale”. She discovers with a few suggestions, she can make the people in her life that bug her “go away”. If she only knew when to stop… == ~~Triva~~Trivia == [[Image:DariaR.jpg\|right\|Daria resurrection , by Milo Minderbinder]] The working title Thomas came up with originally was “Tales from the Suburbs”. When Milo designed the “cover” for the first issue, he changed it to “burbs”, which worked better on the cover and ~~jived~~was a single syllable, like the word crypt. Thomas at first objected to the change, but finally went with it, stating that he didn’t really have that good of an understanding of American slang. Line 44: Quinn in retrograde. When Milo wrote "Hearts of Lawndale", there was a rumor that Quinn would be depicted in “Is it College Yet” as being involved with alcohol and acting irresponsibly. As it turned out, this rumor was unfounded, as it was Quinn’s new friend in IICY was the one in trouble. Milo would write later “Who would have thought Quinn would be the responsible one”. So the Quinn depicted in this tale bares a closer resemblance to the ~~Esteemers~~[[Esteemsters]] “burger, movie, backseat” Quinn than she would to her depiction in the final episode of “Daria” == Links == Line 50: [http://www.post-neo.com/LL/tfts/first_issue.html Tales from the 'Burbs Issue 1] [[Category:Series]] [[Category:Stories]]
