One of my favorite things about doing this strip is getting to reach into my toolbox to pull out some of my favorite characters from across all the Everly Heights stories. This comic includes Jerome Bentley, the bully who torments Ricky Special in our animated sitcom pilot Very Special (voiced by Sean Weiland). While Jerome plays the bully in Very Special, he's really a big softy at heart, which is sort of a spoiler for Very Special. This is one of my favorite comics from the first batch of comics, and the one I shared in our Discord server a couple days back. I like it so much because it juxtaposes Mr. Matheson's optimistic attitude with the darkness underneath, which we'll start digging into more in a couple weeks. Tomorrow, more school shenanigans.

Latch on to learning!
