#grinding chuck

1) jay and his newborn babby girl, years before the events of the hospital takes place. there’s a whole story behind how baby blue came to be, but that means i gotta tread waist-deep into the headcanons i have for jaybird. long story short, less than a year after divorcing karen, he is urged by good natured coworkers who tire of seeing his miserable ass work day in and day out to get back into the dating game-- only to come back out with babb. oops.

2) panel redraw; post-cafeteria arc, which is the equivalent of the morgue arc here. for a bit of backstory: flair planted seeds to strain the burgrr crew’s relationship that led to them separating, that left an open gateway for her to successfully hijack the conceptual core of the cafeteria zone and fulfill her never-ending greed for more,more and more profit.

back at the hospital, flair is nothing more than a fun-sized pin. jay could easily kick her across the room.

3-4) jay being appreciated by his new companions, whom he supposes aren’t so bad.

he shows up to the cafeteria, meets the burgrr gang one by one, gets ‘em to reconcile, get ‘adopted’ by said gang, and teamed up to take down this Soulless Corporate Witch™ to take back their much beloved kitchen...all by sheer accident. they sure took to heart his rant about his shitty job back at the gray...
