Curiously enough, Canadibrit's Lynn Cullen, Daria's half-sister, happens to have been born on the day of Bonfire Night, better (but incorrectly) known to Daria fans as Guy Fawkes Day. We don't have Lynn's birth year, but we do have her fanfic in The Look-Alike Series (TLAS). Her birth date was announced, among other places, here. Loads of pictures of the occasionally violent Ms. Cullen can be found here. The Daria character called Guy Fawkes Day, from Holiday Island High, is a classic late-1970s or early 1980s English punk rocker, per the Sex Pistols. The original Guy Fawkes was not a punk rocker. A Daria fanfic was written making use of the Guy Fawkes meme ("Remember, Remember").Was making Lynn Cullen's birthday on Guy Fawkes Night some kind of message? Given Ms. Cullen's behavior, possibly so.
Oh, and don't mistake the fandom's Lynn Cullen for the real-life talk-show host. They aren't the same person. Duh.
Odd. I just noticed that the Facebook Daria fan site has almost a quarter of a million members! Where the heck did they come from? Why aren't they at PPMB, for crying out loud?
NEW! The Ringbearers "Skippy" list has been revived!
What else is up... oh, right.

He's surely based on the Sex Pistols later (and least talented) bassist, Sid Vicious.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
