So maybe 42 t-shirt guy, grew up on an island or someplace with alot of palm trees, which could be either California or Florida. Coco could've been his mom's imaginary friend from childhood. She let Coco hang around the house while 42 t-shirt guy was young. He also could've made a pretend game that the place they lived was an island, and that they "discovered" Coco from an island. I'm guessing that 42 t-shirt guy, and the other guy were friends at a young age, for them to both be in belief of this.

Perhaps because Coco is 42 t-shirt's guy's mom's imaginary friend, that's why she acts instinctively motherly to him. Or it could also be that she took care of 42 t-shirt guy and his friend growing up, with 42 t-shirt guy's mom. The whole Coco being discovered on an island, could be something she just went along with over the years, as it being a part of the nerds' fascination with her.

So that's my theory on the origins of Coco. Do you agree, disagree? Or whatever. Let me know.

P.S.: I though the hot version of Frankie, the nerds' saw her as, was really cute. It'd be fun to have it on a t-shirt or, something. Kind of like, non-popularity obsessed girls can be hot too.

Craig has already stated in an interview that Coco was created by a little girl whose family's plane crash-lands on this deserted island. He even went into details as to the part of Coco and how they relate to what that child saw as she slowly went insane, from Coco's beak resembling a deflated life raft, to her pinkish bare legs and human feet being modeled after the child's own sunburned legs, to the tropical plants and birds, and the wreckage of the plane that brough them there to the island. What has never been settled is what exactly happened to that child, but the plane is a relic of by-gone days, with styling of a WWII-era cargo plane, so it's likely that Coco's creator is no longer alive, and might not have ever made it off the island. Since the two "Figmentologists" have more or less claimed her, or vice versa, they seem to be her "family" now, along with those at Foster's.

By the way, did anyone else notice the spoof of the Apple logo on the back of Douglas' notebook? Bet even Steve Jobs would have gotten a laugh outa that!
