Simone Grace

Colors/letters by Jim Ludwig, for issue 2

   Simone Grace is KLOR-10's annie weather girl. Her long-term plans involve becoming one of C.B.I.P.'s annie glamor stars. Simone began entering beauty contests at an early age, and has several crowns to her name. She sought employment at KLOR as an actress in some of the locally-produced programming, but lacked the acting talent to hold a regular spot beyond a kiddie program called Mr. Sam's Treehouse, where she would pop in to help introduce cartoons and help with craft projects followed along by the kids at home. Her biggest chance came as the Princess of Venus in an episode of Space Avenger Ace Rocket, though her part was limited to being a briefly-seen kidnap victim who spent the majority of her scenes pretending to be in a trance. Her lasting fame at the station came when she was asked to fill in for KLOR's weather girl when the former holder of the slot left to get married. Simone has held the position for a few years, just waiting to be noticed by C.B.I.P. talent scouts.
