When I first drew this page, the bullies were kind of just a secondary group of characters with no real purpose other than to help introduce Lyria. As I worked on the book, I didn’t expect to bring back Billy One-Snoot but as you’ll see he does become a major character. He’s kind of a fun little bit of clay that I can shape and mold as I see fit. That’s a fantasy webcomic for you.
Also the look on the big guys face in panel one…
