Suzy's mom, Sandy, is typically great when it comes to hair... until she has to do Suzy's hair, specifically.
Her daughter's hair is a very different texture than what she's used to. Whereas Sandy's is more straight and thin, Suzy's is curly and thick. Truth be told, Sandy doesn't have much experience with this sort of hair type—and it's certainly apparent whenever she attempts to do Suzy's hair for her.
When the stress is too much to handle, she usually either straightens it or simply tells Suzy to find a way to do it herself. But fortunately for her, there's a silver lining to this predicament—Johnny Bravo.
Johnny's hair is naturally pretty curly himself (though he typically straightens it), and it definitely helps that he's just... sorta hair-obsessed in general, so he's well equipped for the job. So he's able to handle the task a whole lot better than Sandy is. Oftentimes it's easier to just call Johnny over to do the girl's hair instead.
Normally, Johnny would protest over having to do anything with this kid—but, hey, he enjoys styling hair, and he's not about to say no to Sandy of all people, lest he ruin his chances of scoring a hot date with the woman.

Johnny Bravo: the Webcomic is a fan-made comic series for the beloved-yet-beloathed character, Johnny Bravo! Tune in as he finds himself in all kinds of crazy adventures—and perhaps he'll even learn several lessons along the way! 💕🌹😎
listen i know this is my archive sideblog but i'm a little embarrassed to put this on main. i had a um. story i was planning to do for 2 years or so that got to like 12k before i put it on hold forever but i at least want to put down my general outline somewhere / not have it go to waste idk
carl tries to befriend johnny as a young kid and fails. stinky trying to target johnny with pranks at the same time doesn't help
carl fails as a bully in middle school / it backfires on him. johnny's the only target he has and the stronger bullies just attack them both.
johnny and carl finally become friends in high school. at first, johnny is antagonistic, but seeing carl covered in acne with a stupid mullet similar to his (carl heard johnny say mullets were stupid just months ago. what changed? nothing!) made him laugh. carl on the other hand acts more in line with what johnny remembers from elementary school. in fact, the only reason carl tried out bullying was a desperate attempt to avoid getting bullied himself. it didn't work and carl really regrets it. so when johnny makes fun of him at first he's like "yeah i deserve that."
johnny and carl are bullied in high school by retooled versions of trent and his goons from time of my life. at one point they steal a squint ringo figure of johnny's and carl ends up trading a trip mccoy figure to get it back. this is a huge milestone in their friendship
johnny is still a jerk even in his teens but he does care. he's a bigmouth with fluctuating grades and gets into trouble but he's a Trying. he's nicer than he is in his 20s though, that's for sure. once a bonehead, always a bonehead, as they say.
sandy once saves both johnny and carl from getting swirlies and johnny gets a huge crush on her. carl on the other hand wants to be friends with her— he's not into the dating scene much yet. he's rejected one girl or two so far and it makes johnny jealous and bitter.
pops' moon palace used to be an ice cream parlor by the same name. this is a nod to the "pops' soda shoppe" bible concept. teen johnny and carl were the reason why he rebranded to a retro-styled diner (kids aren't banned but. they had a fight. it involved food. they had to help pops clean up. they're enough of a hassle as it is.) pops gave carl the wrong ice cream every time as a test to see if he'd gather the courage to actually tell him he got the wrong one instead of nervously letting it slide Because He's Old (he was actually in his 50s back then. he started graying early.) and they become friends
in sophomore or junior year, carl begins to realize he has potential in science and starts to enjoy school more. this is him getting nerdier. it gives him a huge ego boost and he starts hanging out with uptight geek kids more instead of johnny. trouble is, they're not quite his friends. in fact, they make fun of his social skills and 'odd' interests in a more pretentious way. on johnny's end, he becomes jealous of the geeks "brainwashing" his best friend, but he gets very distracted by his increased interest in girls. carl decides johnny is a much better friend than those kids are and he isn't wrong.
the high school prom mentioned in candidate johnny is fully interlaced with the time of my life. carl brings a rubber duck to prom. johnny, upset and grumpy, sincerely believes sandy stood him up. he goes to prom anyway because are you kidding he wouldn't want to miss the girls food and the drinks etc. johnny sees the duck and takes the opportunity to cheer himself up via humiliating carl and it escalates
after some thinking, johnny comes to the conclusion that carl is the one thing holding him back / preventing him from getting what he wants in a few different ways.
after they graduate, johnny goes to the gym a lot, becomes very distant with carl and things start to reflect present day canon. johnny can't fully break the friendship with carl because deep down he still cares, he's just too stubborn. carl, on the other hand, Will Not give up because they only really have each other
fast forward some time and the events of "you cast a spell" happen in an 'episode' titled "hocus doofus." it ends differently. carl snaps, but he doesn't necessarily try to beat up johnny. this is as far as i'm gonna talk about
there were definitely moments where carl having a one-sided crush on johnny was kind of obvious but nothing super shippy overall
hi folks! if you're a fan of classic cartoons and/or Johnny Bravo, you're in luck! because i happen to have a fan-made Johnny Bravo reboot comic in the works! ✨🌈 😎
in this story, Johnny is still your classic womanizing goofball, getting himself into plenty of silly situations—but it'll also focus on some more serious topics as well, such as personal growth, mental health, issues with family, relationships, and so much more! 🩷 i'll be posting some of the characters and their short bios, so you can get a good feel for what to expect from them!
Suzy's mother—and the current object of Johnny's affections—Sandy Baker!
It isn't very often that any woman would have the patience to keep Johnny Bravo in their lives for more than 10 seconds. Some may try, but it almost always ends in failure one way or another. Not quite the case when it comes to Sandy Baker, however—for whatever reason, she seems to be the one woman who can actually stand Johnny's flirtatious antics.
In her own, unique way, think of Sandy as the "female Johnny Bravo." What Johnny is to men, Sandy is to women. She's fierce, she's a hard worker, and she's determined to meet her goals at all costs. It's no wonder that her daughter, Suzy, has grown to be such a good kid when she's got a mother like Sandy to look after her!
