Frankie
 

This is just about the classiest lady I've ever known. Smart, funny, hard-working, dedicated, compassionate... I could go on all day. Incredibly beautiful, too. She doesn't get half the credit she deserves for all the work she does around that enormous house. I could write about her all day, and probably will, eventually. I adore this woman. :-*

Frankie is indeed underappreciated for all the work she does, but what makes her so great is that she does it anyway, because she cares about the IF's so much. She doesn't have to. She could just go off for a night on the town with her friend Kathy we always hear about but have never seen and then someone else would have to deal with it when Bloo decides that sawing the legs off all the chairs so everyone is shorter than him is a pretty good idea. But she doesn't. Now that's dedication! Also, she's smokin'.

I agree to both comments. Frankie is a great character, don't we all adore this punk rock chic? :D

Frankie
 

She's a really great character. She has a personality (something a lot of characters on TV shows and cartoons today lack), and she's not afraid to let you know what her opinion is on something.

Frankie rocks. Period.

If you love punk rock redheads who take care of imaginary friends, raise your hand...

*Raises everyone else's hands*

She really is interesting. I don't think I've found anyone that dedicated to anything in my life.

*raises hand*

Go Frankie! she's very out spoken, kind, and caring for all Friends. She fantastic.

*takes sign with Frankies picture on*

Go Frankie!, Go Frankie! :-*

I like Frankie. She's cool.

She's the best. The absolute best. Ever. :-*

:-* :-* :-* :-*

She's pretty dern awesome. I wish she could get more breaks, though... that Herriman works her like a slave. So does Dutchess. :'(

Frankie kicks butt- simply put. But, you have to wonde rwhat her favorite punk bands are the Ramones or maybe the "Pistols" ( I don't want to use the whole name it can be seen as "offensive"). I honestly imagine her to listen to the New York Dolls.

Oooh! All the pretty colors!

What would we do without Francis Foster? For the most part, she's definitely a sweet 22-year-old woman. But when you push the wrong buttons, look out!! :-X I do believe that Frankie does not get the appreciation she deserves. She definitely needs to show that darn rabbit (Mr. Herriman) who's boss.

I still think the episode 'Frankie my dear' is one of her best. lol and it also brought us Orlando Bloo 8D

I second that statement, as I said before on the old forums, I was laughing so hard during the last act of that episode, I thought my chest was going to cave in.

And as I also said before, it's quite refreshing to see a fully fleshed out female character on a cartoon show, one who isn't totally vapid, shop crazy, boy crazy or doesn't come across like a total "know it all" most of the time.

Or exists solely to fill the "token female character"/"voice of reason" role. That happens all too often...

Well, sometimes she's the voice of reason, but alot less than other female characters on different shows, which is good.

I think we're just saying that because we're aware of everything she does to keep the house running, day in and day out. That, and we love her. :3 But housework and chores almost always go unappreciated. Think about maids, nannies, hotel housekeepers, cafeteria workers, housewives. In reality, all those occupations are hardly considered "real" jobs and they never receive any praise. I admit that I never give special attention to when my mother sweeps, cooks, and loads the laundry. They're just little things that seem so insignificant because they're all mundane tasks that don't require special skills or a college education, even if they DO take a lot out of you by the end of the day. Thanking Frankie for doing her job would be kind of like us going up to the cafeteria lady and thanking her for cooking. It's not that we don't appreciate it, but I think it's mostly that we've just come to expect it.
I'm thinking Frankie isn't tending to more than a thousand IFs because it's a job, but because deep down she must REALLY love being there, nervous breakdowns and all.

Looks like I'm late to the conversation... Oh well.

I can't say much about Frankie that hasn't already been said; she's the most entertaining character on the show. She also owns the award for the show's best quote (guess which one).

Frankie is a fantastic match of great voice talent (Grey Delisle rarely misses) and excellent animation (particularly with her facial expressions).

Now, something to debate...
Her driver's license lists her at 5 feet 8 inches tall. Her Coco Card lists her at 5 feet 10 inches. Either way, she's fairly tall for a woman, and her neck is awfully long.

I adore adore Frankie, hence my username. ;)

Just some thumbnails I laboriously sliced together this morning:

Not that I'm obsessed with Frankie or anything, 'cause I'm not. No, really, I'm not. Seriously. Excuse me, I have a doctor's appointment now. :-*

Where are the originals to those? They are awesome looking! *drools*

The centerpiece is a screencap; the rest can be found at DeviantArt. Lots of good stuff there, and a lot of garbage, too. Nowhere near as bad as fanart central, fortunately.

Cool, from what I can tel those pics are great.

They certainly are, and they print well, too! :frankiesmile:

I'm still pondering the 5'8" vs. 5'10"...

Eh...maybe the 5'10" is just with heels on or something. ;)

Could be coco wasn't really paying attention...

yeah, and sometimes heights are exaggerated on sports cards. Like how Charles Barkley's basketball cards typically listed him as 6'6" to 6'7", he was really a tick under 6'5".

now, why is she a catcher? .288 is a pretty good batting average for a catcher.

I wuff Frankie.

'Nuff said.

And I'll just say it again: I love Frankie. With Season 4 winding down and the Wilt movie on the way, I hope Season 5 has some good Frankie-centric episodes.

You and me both, my friend, you and me both. ;)

Frankie is very cool.

I've kind of found it interesting that the animators have done away with the hair that fell in front of Frankie's ears. It was present on and off during Season 1 and I don't recall seeing it much, if at all in season 2, or since.

Very Present - From "Store Wars"

Gone - From "Bendy"

Yeah I dunno why they'd do that. They changed Terrence's hair at some point too.

I guess Frankie didn't want them anymore...

I allways used to think that girls with that sort of hair style where wearing headphones.

I do find it odd that Frankie has a wardrobe full of identical outfits (as we see in "Bus the Two of Us") but some how managed to have a total make over for her dates in "Frankie My Dear".

She likely has other outfits in the dresser we saw in "Squeakerboxxx". They'd be better off in the closet, but the dresser is a good possibility.

I adore Frankie! She's my favorite character. I guess it may be because we're the same age... I would love to find a girl just like her. But, unfortunatly, she's one of a kind.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I never thought about it like that.

That's an often-used and classic cartoon gag; and it is one that I still find pretty darn funny.
It's a play off the tendency of a character to wear the same outfit in practically every episode of a cartoon. Sort of an "explaination" of why Frankie wears a green windbreaker all the time (as opposed to the real explaination; it makes animation easier).

It IS funny when they tos in that gag. Like in "Setting a President" where Bloo claimed that the reason that Frankie always wore the same sweatshirt was because she couldn't change her clthes. "How can you expect change when she can't even change her own clothes..."

heh heh, poor old Frankie. Always getting the bad side of things.
