The Quimby Files

by slapstick.genius

Diamond Joe Quimby's family album does not include the North Carolina drawings, which are in the Springfield museum. But it does include a history of gore, crime and a strange relationship with The Burnses and The Quartermaines of GH fame.

6. Gabriel of the Appalachians

As a child, Gabriel was lonely and had many stillborn younger siblings until the birth of Berenice. Instead of the Burnses, this time around Franklin Smithers, the son of a former minion of the Burnses, became his best friend and pseudo sibling.

He and Frank were pals right up till they separated in the birth of Berenice. Thinking that his close relationship ended, he trekked with a female slave from the Appalachians through plains and forests, later coming into the Rockies. Easily lost, he decided to go 'the SCHMUCK way' into Springfield later on. He survived the journey.

In other words, He and his parents' neighbours' slave, Jennifer O'Donnell, escaped the parents' wrath. They never married due to the incoming racism, but the latter bore him Johnny O'Donnell in 1845.
