Several things of note here:

1. Yes, the Jetwood Guardian's real name is Zmitz. I've scrapped the character who was originally gonna have that name. If I do use that character, he'll have a different name. His last name, 'Ploore' is a pun off of 'Moore', the last name of one of my favourite comic writers, Alan Moore.
2. I thought for a while as to what kind of embarassing question Jérémie might ask Zmitz. I didn't want the question to be sexual or have strong sexual implications. Hopefully, the question I used is innocent enough.
3. I took Zmitz's expression in the last panel from one that Scott from Teacher's Pet used in the first episode of that show, Muttamorphisis. Though, in that episode, Scott was doing that expression out of genuine happiness, rather than the nerves and embarassment that Zmitz is experiencing here.
4. Come to think of it, I like the idea that Opasians kinda look like dogs a little, with their sharp canines and big noses! Kinda like the Na'vi are supposed to be big blue cat people or something.
