The Goodbye Family are a fictional family of undertakers created by fantasy Western author and illustrator Lorin Morgan-Richards. [1] [2] The Goodbye Family comprises Pyridine Goodbye, matriarch and mortician, Otis, father and driver of the hearse, their child Orphie, who has the dual role of gravedigger and self-appointed town Sheriff, and their pets: Ouiji the cat, a tarantula named Dorian, and Midnight their horse. [3]

Contents

Since 2009, the Goodbyes have appeared in both single panel comic and literature as part of the Great Mountain book series by Richards that begin with Me’ma and the Great Mountain. The humor of the Goodbye Family is typically gothic or macabre, [4] and often satirizing industrialization and rules of authority. In 2021, The Goodbye Family: The Animated Series made its debut on YouTube, and subsequently followed with streaming services. New York Magazine listed it in the top ten of animated TV series in 2022. [5]

Characters and story

Beginning in 2009, Richards started to produce the Goodbye Family as one-off cards after an inspiring trip to France and Wales. Richards envisioned Orphie, the daughter, and primary character, on the roof of the Notre Dame Cathedral sitting with gargoyles, while her parents Otis tried to board a train with a shrunken head, and Pyridine publicly sewed a cadaver in Cardiff. Subsequent single panel comics and merchandise were made of each character but before delving further into their identities. [6] In 2012, A Raven Above Press released Richards first novel Me’ma and the Great Mountain , [7] [8] about an indigenous girl that overcomes ghoulish spirits to save her people. Along with her journey, she meets Hollis Sorrow, a friendly character entombed in a casket made by Goodbye Family Funeral, marking the first mention in literature of the Goodbye Family. By 2015, Steamkat, an online comic distributor, weekly featured The Goodbye Family comic, and starting in the following year, Richards released subsequent book collections about the family and syndicated his series through social media and a short run on Tapas.The world of the Goodbyes has been further expressed in novels, comic collections, and a TV series.

The Goodbye family lives in a giant tree that has been made habitable by Otis' woodworking. Their original house was lost in a fire due to the war of the Tried and Boorish.

Family

Townsfolk

In an interview, when asked about the characters influences Richards replied: "I suppose Pyridine Goodbye, the matriarch, is loosely based on my wife, Otis Goodbye is myself, and Orphie their child is Berlin (Richards daughter) and our friend's child Heidi (who came before our daughter). All though with a few other influences. Just like the Goodbye Family we do have a pet tarantula and Siamese cat." [11]

Humor

Richards clarifies the genre of The Goodbye Family: "I fall into the category of Weird West, but I think it may be more of a 'Down West' as I'd like to call it, for its sense of macabre western humor". [12]

The Goodbye Family and the Great Mountain

The Goodbye Family and the Great Mountain

The Goodbye Family and the Great Mountain is a gothic Western juvenile fiction novel by Lorin Morgan-Richards, [13] [14] the second in his Great Mountain series, about undertakers Otis, Pyridine, and their daughter Orphie. [15] According to the book's summary Pyridine is a witch and mortician, Otis is a bumbling but brazen hearse driver, and Orphie has the strength of twenty men and helps with grave digging. [16] [17]

Following the first novel Me’ma and the Great Mountain , Me’ma, an Indigenous child, has routed the mining tycoon Baron Von Nickle and headed west over the Great Mountain as the defeated and leaderless miners returned east to the town of Nicklesworth. Frank Thorne is the only soldier to stay intact and searches for the Baron's accomplice. The Goodbye family, undertakers in town, hear of the defeat when the Baron's rattail hair appear on their doorstep. The Goodbye's, suffering from poor business, look to monetize the situation and seek an heir, but find the townsfolk are turning into zombies. Otis finds the culprit in a new tonic that leads the family to Nothom, the underworld, where Thorne is following close behind. They find a production facility that is pumping oil to those above for consumption, dramatically altering the land of Nothom to the dissatisfaction of the Goodbyes. In turn, and without the Baron, the oil is causing the townspeople above, like Thorne, to become the living dead and fall under the control of the Baron's accomplice, a wicked warlock named Zenwick Aldrich. [18] The book is a blend of goth and humor and stylistically has been compared to author's like Roald Dahl. [19]

The story includes a foreword by medium Richard-Lael Lillard. [20]

A common theme in Richards stories is an underlying environmental message. Similarly, to his first novel, Me'ma and the Great Mountain , he also provides a solution. In The Goodbye Family and the Great Mountain, dependence on oil is the cause of conflict and the Goodbye family's disruption and disorder saves the day. [21]
