The real question is what happened to Mike’s sister. She was in a few strips in the early years. Mike warned Mark not to date her. His brother didn’t show up till Mike went home to visit.

Trudeau introduced a lot of characters that never or rarely reappeared after his mid-80s break, like Rufus/Thor, Malcolm, B.D.‘s parents (who I believe last appeared as he was shipping off to ’Nam), plus there were the inconsistencies of the main cast’s relatives (i.e. Mike’s mysterious sister) and the completely different look to Zonker’s parents (Baby Bumpkins!) than what he established later.
On a side note, how could Butts be a figment of Mike’s imagination but be regarded as real by Duke and Honey at Club Scud?
