== Slappy is not actually Skippy's ''aunt''. ==

Taking the WMG that Slappy and Screwy once had a thing and the fact that we never see Skippy's parents - plus that the one time Slappy's taken out of the picture, Skippy is taken away by child protective services rather than being sent back to his parents. What if the reason we don't see Skippy's parents has nothing to do with them being dead? We don't really know how old Skippy is - he's young, but...well, so are the Warner kids. And since when Slappy started (during the Thirties) and through most of her career (Fourties to...what, mid-Sixties or late Seventies?), it would have been ''very'' unseemly for a single woman to have a kid out of wedlock - in fact, being caught as an unwed mother could have ruined Slappy's career...unless she said that Skippy was her nephew, whom she was taking care of for his parents while they were sick/on vacation/dealing with some problems. Sure, it might've become a paper-thin excuse after a while (after all, Skippy's parents never show up to take him back) but as long as she didn't show any evidence that it was a lie, most people would be willing to go along with it. Why risk Slappy's wrath if they don't have to?

* This could have potentially far-reaching implications if other cartoon characters who were inexplicably given nephews {[[Donald Duck]], [[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Jerry]], [[Popeye]]) were doing the same, and their nephews are actually out-of-wedlock children.

* Agreed, this WMG is awesome. Somebody get crackin' with that fanfic!
