Wendy Do-It Turns the Tables....

Wendy Do-It had motored along pretty well through a start-up studded career in magazines, music, film, television and technology.

But on the night of the storage unit incident, when EdLectric Seltzer saw the "treasures" that Wendy had bought up from the basement, and in light of the toughest economy that any of them had faced in their lifetimes, he asked:

“What if your best earning years are behind you?”

Though UnderWoman’s name had been conceived but moments before (and not yet registered on GoDaddy, trademarked, built out, even uttered aloud), it was the turnaround-type moment that her character was born for.

“Do you think that could be true?” she asked.

“Could well be.”

“Then you’d better run for cover,” shoots Wendy, “Because I’ll be moving in with Mom!”

By way of backstory, EdLectric had moved in with Mom a few years back...had come into Merrie's life many years after Archer Do-It’s passing, and had grown steadily more significant since.

By nature he was a Brooklyn bantam rooster -- bold, brash, smart, seasoned, living for and loving a good argument.

And he was smart enough to know when the tables were being turned…to appreciate it in fact.

After giving him a slight comeuppance, Wendy offers an easy out:
“The best is yet to be….”

To which EdLectric immediately responds: “Grow old along with me.”

“We’ll keep him Mom,” shouts Wendy to Merrie, who, as always, is dust-busting invisible particles from the kitchen floor, and does not hear….
