Biography
Coco’s subterranean egg hatched in the 1980s (by human years, not lizard years) in a tunnel beneath a community theater in Oakland, California, during a production of The Music Man. He was born an orphan, which isn’t funny. But he emerged from his egg, claws shining, scales dripping with green ooze, singing “The Wells Fargo Wagon” — which is very funny. He never considered pursuing the arts, but claims to “still sing in the shower every day.” His neighbor confirmed this (but doesn’t mind the noise).
Coco showed an aptitude for sports, math, and science at an early age, and went to college on an academic scholarship. While studying and dreaming of one day being an astronaut, he delivered lizard mail to help make ends meet. He greatly enjoyed making deliveries and was sad to leave it to go to space. When he discovered he could be an astronaut and a post carrier both at once, he was elated.
Friendship with Ethan Alden
As Ethan Alden recorded the final episode of his podcast, Coco was passing by the Miranda Experimental Space Station and decided to board and borrow some laundry detergent. He and Ethan met and became friends. Unfortunately, he could not bring Ethan back to Earth, as lizard spaceships do not have oxygen. But he visits Ethan every now and then, bringing homebaked desserts in exchange for using Ethan’s washer and dryer.
