POSSIBLE LEGEND OF THE GNOME GEMULETS SPOILERS. BEWARB!!!

Ok, so our info on Shermie is very limited, we can't even be sure he is the baby in "A tale of two Stans"! When asked about the baby Alex said he couldn't say anything, but why so much secret for an apparently insignificant character? Maybe because he's not so insignificant at all!

In "The legend of the gnome Gemulets" Grunkle Stan said that Shermie WAS a real square. WAS. Either he stopped being one, or he died. The latter is the most probable so their are two possible causes for his death: old age (which would mean he is not the baby since he'd have to be the oldest) or sickness/injury (in which it wouldn't matter if he was older or younger).

Having that in mind, we immediately learn after this that he wears a bow tie.... Who else wears a bow tie?... Yeah, you got it!

Maybe he didn't die exactly, maybe he just disappeared and was presumed dead.

I'm not saying that just because he wore a bow tie he has to be the referenced triangle, but he could be somehow related to him. After all why would such a small and insignificant detail be mentioned if not because Alex knew we would make a connection. After all how many people wear bow ties in GF? Plus, the bow tie has become a major defining detail for Bill.

This is a long shot, but it's what I got. This would explain why there is so much secrecy surrounding the baby. What do you guys think? I would love to hear your theories.
