Revision as of 12:30, 18 February 2022
David Lowe was a man who lived in the same apartment building as Jenny Everywhere and Kim, and apparently a friend of the latter, in one universe. Like Kim, he insisted with intentionally comical stringency that he was a perfectly normal human being despite some evidence to the contrary.
Driving an old Beetle, he sometimes picked up groceries for Kim as well as himself at the butcher, Morrie Greenberg's. He was driving by with just such a cargo when Kim and Jenny picked up the broken dream spinner of Jenny Everywhere, which was blocking the driveway in the parking lot. After parking, David headed back into the building alongside Kim with what he had bought. This included a number of pastrami sandwiches, some of which were shared between Jenny's friends and the extradimensional visitors. After the latter left (their ship having been repaired by Eric), but before David could go home, however, another misadventure began, in the form of an Angel appearing in the parking lot with much fracas. (PROSE: Pit Stop)
Kim once told Eric that David had a story he could tell Eric that would serve as a cautionary tale about the dangers of building a girlfriend for oneself, something Kim was afraid the budding mad scientist might try to do. She noted that Eric had better wait until he was older to ask David for the story, and also that it wasn't Kim's story to share. (PROSE: Misunderstandings)
Behind the scenes
The implications in Parallax and Camera Shy point to Kim being some form of vampire. It is as yet unclear if David is another vampire, or a different sort of supernatural creature, such as a lycanthrope. In the author's commentary on Pit Stop, Scott Sanford highlighted the mystery of David's nature: “Why does David talk like some Borscht belt alter kocker? How old is he, anyway? Good question”.
