(Historical Notes: So, for all the demonstrably unpleasant character traits Avi demonstrates throughout these comics, I wanted to make sure part at least didn’t come across as intentional. The whole “willfully mean rich brat” trope is just so easy and obvious that adding that on top of everything else felt downright lazy. It’s not like we don’t already HAVE some characters who live that trope out to the letter, more would just be boring. Besides, Avi still fancies himself a hero, remember? So I wanted to make it clear that Avi’s not being contemptuous or anything, he’s just literally never been in a situation where other people were around and DIDN’T make a point of doing everything for him.)
