Amaya’s dad is an older tabby cat who works at the Eagle Cinema, and, as the name suggests, the father of Amaya. He has exactly one scene in the comic, and he spends it apologizing to a theater full of anime fans in Featured Attraction.
Personality
Amaya’s dad is a man in a uniform doing his level best, and the comic catches him on a bad night. He greets an angry crowd with a smile, says sorry for the misunderstanding, and gives the customers what they want without a word of argument. Underneath the pleasantness, he looks rather weary of the fuss.
Amaya’s dad stays formal and apologetic throughout Featured Attraction, even when a moviegoer corrects him on the title of the film he has just announced.[1] The customer-service smile stays fixed in place, and he quietly starts to sweat.[1]
Appearance
Amaya’s dad is an older tabby cat. The only outfit the comic has ever put him in is his movie theater uniform, which suits a character who has only ever been seen at work.[1]
Significant events
In Featured Attraction, Paulo brings Daisy (and David) to the Eagle Cinema for an anime film. The dub plays by mistake, and most of the audience storms out behind a ringleader to demand the subtitled version or their money back, which leaves Paulo and Daisy with a nearly private screening.[2] The protesters return triumphant with Amaya’s dad in tow. He apologizes for the mix-up, asks everyone to take their seats, and promises the subtitled showing in a minute.[1] The restart goes ahead.[3]
Major relationships
Amaya
Father and daughter have never shared a panel. Amaya sits out Featured Attraction entirely, and the connection between them is established only by Paulo recognizing him in the theater.[1] Whatever the two of them are like at home, the comic has yet to show it.
Minor relationships
Paulo
Paulo recognizes him on sight. His first thought is “That’s Amaya’s dad..” followed by a silent plea not to be lumped in with the fans.[1] Veronica’s commentary on the page sums the panic up as wanting to impress your friend’s dad.[1] Amaya’s dad never so much as glances Paulo’s way, and the comic gives no sign the two have ever met.
Quotes
Yes, yes. My sincerest apologies for the misunderstanding. Please take your seats. In just a minute we’ll be restarting the showing with the subtitled version of “My Endless Sunshower.” Amaya’s dad, announcing the subtitled restart to a room of anime fans in Featured Attraction
Trivia
- When a reader asked whether Amaya was a nod to Garfield, Veronica added “Also Amaya’s dad can speak!”[4]
