My head canon is that Mr Boss served during the Gulf War and was the only one in his platoon who kept morale up battling Saddam in the desert. Once he got out, he founded the smiling friends because of his ability to make people smile during rough situations. Business boomed during national disasters/ tragedies. Like those clowns who entertain sick kids. Because of the stress he's a bit loony
Mr Boss being a vet is also my headcanon. It makes sense why he would create an organization like smiling friends after witnessing/doing a bunch of horrible things.
Also the dude is no stranger to firearms. He owns an M16 (probably a civilian clone) we see in frowning friends, the sniper rifle in the president episode, and a revolver we see in a couple episodes.
Also he's using a stance that reveals that he possibly even used rifles without pistol grip (most possibly M14, i'm not too familiar with the U.S military stance protocols after Vietnam), so definitely he knows his shit
Ooh thats cool! I always ALSO thought he was a little loony dye to head trauma due to childhood abise that was hinted in an old phycicpebbles zach hade; animation where mr boss has the same bruise on his head!
Iraq probably makes a bit more sense, Desert Storm was a cakewalk in comparison and the beginning of the Iraq War was 20 years ago at this point, if he enlisted around 25 he’d be 45 now and I think that fits.
Lol Eric lookin' suspiciously like Knuckle Dragging, slouch ass, caveman Justin Bieber.
I love everything about this...

Long long time ago
i dunno when but theyre around early mid 20s in the art i showed, theyre likley the same age too
i dont even know when current day smiling friends is set LMAO
Love the OC! A fun design and a nice color palette. The pose and design work well together to tell you he's a pretty laid-back dude. What job did he have at SF? The apron makes me think he wasn't one of the 'social worker' friends.
This was more back in the day, hes no longer laid back, hes actually pretty hostile 💔 ( he ends up calming back down though )
i made a lil cringe story type thing to fit him in
so like he got separated from mr boss after some personal life thing
i assumed that before brittney tried to possess mr boss, she had her own, smaller flower buisness that eric ended up working at, because he liked nature at a young age
when brittney died eric was depressed as hell because hes a very habitual person, so everything was kind of messed up and he called the smiling friends to cheer him up
eric doesnt get cheered up, runs into mr boss at the hq, they have a lil reunion and he gets hired to do promotional work because hes an artist, and also because he and mr boss were childhood friends and he wanted to help him out
its a lot more complicated than my small barebones explanation lets on but i yapped enough even with the bare minimum and i didnt want to bore you BAHAHHA
anyway thank you so much :)
I like the idea of Brittney being a pretty chill person, and only really doing the soul-eating thing because she's the daughter of Satan and doesn't really have another option. When your dad is Satan Himself it's hard to resist getting pressured into doing things you'd rather not, I'd think.
If you ever write a fic, be sure to ping me, I'd totally read it! Even with the barebones explanation, Eric seems like an interesting character. (Plus your art is just \[chef's kiss\] MWAH!)
BWAAA TY EHHEHEEHHEHH
i wanted to not write a fanfiction because oh my god cringe smiling friends, but now i think i really gotta because im OOGLY GOO OUHCWEOHUDWUOHWDHCOUHUOWD
Free yourself from the shackles of cringe! Have fun and laugh if it pisses other people off! Put a Smile on your own face!
Being serious for a moment here, this sub gets really judgy when people have fun with the show in ways that are not Fandom Approved. Oh no, an OC! Oh no, a headcanon! But we're not like other ~~girls~~ fandoms! Burn the cringe, burn it down!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate this
when I get a liking for something I always go mad with it, and yeah it’s pretty cringe but I’m glad that there’s people like you that dont judge when people wanna write a million words of serious lore for like smiling friends or the sims BAHAHAH
thank you so much, you should work for the smiling friends, you made me smile fr ❤️ :-)

It would also explain why he would have cyanide pills readily available. Could have been a seal or special forces, even involved in CIA black sites.
Agreed. Not only to mention his fake nose with two cyanide pills. Just in case the first one doesn’t work.
My headcanon is he came out the pussy looking the way he does in the present day.
LMFAOOOOOO

Definitely feel like he is a war torn veteran with PTSD

Regular Bob Ross type stuff goin on
my head canon is that they're funny little characters
Who tf is Eric
The other guy ( my oc, i put him in there because when i enjoy something, i like to attach myself to it by inserting myself in there somehow )
Oh nice. :) I thought I missed something. Cool concept!
Thank you! :)

Headcanon: The Boss is just a grown up Dan from Dan VS.
Proof: https://preview.redd.it/3iurp8pgi9ad1.png?width=258&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca7c8515df0a277cc02343e52bbe4377b55b42cf
Naw, why’s he HOT with a full head of hair?
It's him when he was younger
Is that the honorary 5th member of Tally Hall?
Yes
That's just white jar jar binks dude
Mr Boss looks like Tom Hiddleston.
They look like Crowley and aziraphale
He feels good to look at. (Not like that, weirdos.)
