So, when looking back on past Yearbook comics, I realized I made a horrific error. You see that kid in the middle? Neil? Yeah, apparently his name is supposed to be Felix. I don't know how I screwed that up so badly. Neil is an unseen character whose Yearbook photo is consistently above Gary's and always making some absurd gesture.

Sorry about the late post, I almost forgot to draw that redheaded guy there. Uh… *checks list of names* David.

(Yeahhh, I didn't actually have names for them until now. I'm sure some of them are wrong in-universe anyway, I know Gary's is.)

John is a reference to another character who looks similar, Long John (from Melody & Macabre). Incidentally, Paul there is based upon a character from a story I thought about immensely but never got around to writing. He's uh… he's based on the villain.

So hooray for self-indulgent self-reference, I guess.
