That Xmas card ...

Folks - a question just came to mind while watching "Xmas Story" - who does Fry get an Xmas card from ? I mean ... relatives ? What relatives ?

Or maybe I just missed something. :-)

I can't answer your specific question, but I can tell you that Professor Farnsworth is a distant relative of Fry's. Perhaps others exist as well.

In the pilot, Leela said that the professor was his only livin' relative.....

Exactly - that was makes it all kindda weird. :-)

The really weird thing would be how you could have only *1* living relative 1,000 years in the future. There's so many other explanations for the xmas card anyway.

A show idea that will never get done ("Kids, thank the network. Thank you Fox!!") involved the Professor finding out that he fathered Mom's oldest son. Davis X Cohen discussed it in an interview. That would have made him Fry's relative as well.

The card itself could come from Fry's bank. After all, he used to have a lot of money there.

Maybe Fry got a card from his 'grandfather'. :)

Fry only has 1 living relative. In a deleted scene, we find that Professor Farnsworth sent the card. This short scene with a few lines of dialoag is available as a DVD extra.

Doesn't Cubert count as a relative?

Cubert wasn't alive at the time of the original quote.
