  1. I'm going to have to object to Echo being Tumbleweeds' girlfriend, that honor should be placed on Hildegard Hamhocker's shoulders. After all those years she has earned it.
    As for Echo, while she may have delusions about Tumbleweeds (as does Hildegard), she is but a child and naming her as Tumbleweeds girlfriend gets him into some mighty strange territory (and Grimy Gulch is strange enough already).
