I don't think they ever spelled out where Penny's parents were, but it was just assumed that there six feet under. Really, why the fuck would you leave your kid with Gadget if you were able to raise her yourself?TithonusSyndrome wrote:When was that established (in the series)?
'Cause if so, that is a pretty serious shortcoming, you gotta admit.
And, IIRC, while Gadget's origins were never fully explained, there was a character who they said had given him his gadgets. Dr. Claw tried to have him kidnapped once, I think. I can't for the life of me remember anything else about him, though, not even his name.
