[edit] Character Detail
Ms Bosco was introduced in Chariots of the Dogs. She is a strong-willed female inventor and an adamant radical Feminist. She ran a store called "Bosco's Guns and Baby Needs" which sold (apparently) only those types of two products. After a man had "trashed" her store, she hired Flint Paper's partner to track the hooligan down.
Her hatred of patriarchy lead her to make an in vitro fertilization machine (nicknamed "The Babymaker") that requires any sort of DNA sample (in the episode it was featured, Sam and Max collected spit samples) from two subjects. She made clear in the past that if she were to have a child, she would have a daughter ("a perfect little angel"). Ironically in the future, she had a son (who's father was hinted to be president John F. Kennedy) who she cares about deeply. Worried that her son Bosco works too hard, she sends him an alarm clock every Christmas in hope that he would find time to visit her; Bosco, in his paranoia, assumes that the parcels in fact contain time bombs.
She was living in an apartment above Bosco's store before being killed by an explosion (of vinegar and baking soda). Her ghost was roaming The Street until Bosco came back from Hell and Flint Paper revealed that it was Bosco who trashed her store in the past. Sam & Max take her Soul Token, leaving her unable to move on to the afterlife.
She, along with Sybil & Pedro, are seen in Bosco's hell (him naked on a stage).
In The Penal Zone, Ms Bosco is found to reside in an abandoned building, where she holds her lab. Harry Moleman is her assistant (although Ms Bosco states that she never hired him). In Beyond the Alley of the Dolls Sam & Max clones a new body for her ghostly form to possess, bringing her to life once more. Since the clone is partly based on Bosco's body, she is not entirely the same, and was bald at first, but has since either regrown her hair or gotten a wig. In The City that Dares Not Sleep, he assists Sam in his plan to defeat/revive Max.

[edit] Remarks
- When Telltale first created this character, they considered having her voiced by Joey Camen, the voice of Bosco. They later decided against it and cast a woman in the role.
