I was looking through some of my older stuff and I had completely forgotten about this particular comic page. Here is an earlier version of the fifteenth page of the first issue of "Opey the Warhead".

It depicts the three bullies: Jethro, Richard, and Stan. Originally, I was going to have the classes in Opey's school take place in a chapel behind the prison. However, no prison has an ornate cathedral in it's back, so I excised the chapel from the story altogether in the newer version of Opey (posted here on DA). In the second panel, there's the professor, Langeneckert. His original design had him looking like he went to the same hairstylist as the lead singer from "The Cure". Opey has pretty much always looked the same, though, lucky kid. :)

By the way, I've already finished the preview for Issue 4 but haven't posted it yet. I'd like to wait until I've completed the cover for Issue 4 and post it along with the preview (essentially, creating a sort of double preview). I'll hopefully be posting both this weekend. Sorry for the delay. I was sequestered last week for jury duty and it cut into my productivity, big time. Ugh.
