Wally: Joan, we'll get through these tough times. I don't know exactly HOW...but we will.
Wally: I just don't want the kids to worry.
Joan: Oh...
Joan: I think they're pretty oblivious.
Max, Andy & Luci: ?
Andy is Wally’s nephew … I think it has been at least 6 years since he joined the strip. His parents never had time for him, used their work as excuses… but they took vacations and dropped Andy off with Wally … sort of forgot he was there… finally Wally asked if he could keep him, at Andy’s request. While Wally is harder on him than his parents, who didn’t care where he was or what he was doing at any time, Andy decided that he preferred Uncle Wally. Then Joan and Wally got married… Joan moved in with Wally (and Andy). Assumning I remember the storyline from way back. I think that Wally has adopted Max, but not sure. If so, then Max’s biological father is totally out of the picture financially.
