When Oscar first moves into the new house, Sylvia picks up his glasses to look at them. The glasses are black with rectangular frames. These have been with Oscar from the beginning of the comic, and are part of his signature appearance. This hoodie became the source of many jokes in the website comments and the author's social media, as Cliff kept it and wears it all the time.Īfter giving Clifford his hoodie Oscar switches to a blue utility coat with two arm pockets. When Oscar first meets Clifford, he loans him a red hoodie.
He also went to the library and got her an audiobook, Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut. It was also shown on page 143 that the car has a front vanity plate reading "T-800", a reference to the Terminator franchise.Īfter moving in with Sylvia, Oscar buys her several items to make her life as a ghost easier: a deck of cards, a polaroid instant camera with a large box of film, and a CD player/radio. He drove it to Podunk and has since also used it to drive to and from the hospital with Becky and Cliff. It is a 2008 model, as confirmed by the author in a Disqus comment. Oscar owns a dark gray (possibly black) Honda Accord. Oscar has been seen to own or acquire several items, which have become somehow important to the story. The journal quote is phrased in such a way that suggests it was written when Oscar was older, but this could just be intended to make the journal entry more dramatic or eloquent.
While not much has been said about why he did this, a journal entry of his shown on page 42 says "When I was 25 I ran from my demons and moved in with a ghost." It is hinted at elsewhere that he left because of some sort of problem(s) he was having in Chicago.
Oscar left Chicago for Podunk, Oklahoma when he was 25 years old, and there rented a house from Barbara Yaga after seeing her advertisement on craigslist. Little is yet known about Oscar's mother, she may be alive or dead, and he seems to have a strong emotional response when events remind him of her. He has an older sister, River, and we know his Dad is still alive. Oscar Previously lived in Chicago, Illinois, presumably with his family.
