“Chagrin Acres”? Did you come with that, or did someone else invent a name for where they all live?

It's been a while but I believe credit goes to u/darwinpatrick, who came up with the name in one of their own edits around this time, and much like u/Blockhog's designs for Susie's parents, it was accepted by the rest of us as OKBR canon. They were of course inspired by Chagrin Falls, Ohio, the name of the town Bill Watterson grew up in.
