Week 46! (Patreon)

So now we'll be looking at a selection of Randomly-Generated Characters from the New Canon, mostly somewhat notable or at least with a little bit of interesting backstory or something to them and not just doing all of the billion of them that there are in the comic.

Jorge here first appeared in comic 003 as one of the people in the crowd that were ogling Kale when he first arrived at the high school, although I've updated his look to be more actual-red-panda-coloration rather than the coloring I gave him in the original comic.

Jorge's backstory tells that he's actually former-close-friends with Bruce and Campy, having drifted apart from them during middle school as he became more of a jock through baseball and they remained hapless nonathletic nerds. This situation is actually based off my own childhood, where I had a best friend throughout elementary school, but we drifted apart as we aged in the same manner (his choice of sport was football rather than baseball, though).

Jorge did appear more than the one time, popping back in briefly for another panel during Bruce's birthday party. Originally I wanted Jorge to become a minor recurring character, just as "filler" in terms of a person outside the core group of main characters that would interact and have history and such, but as time went on and the focus became on specific things, there wasn't really time or place for him to reappear as of yet. Maybe he will again in the future, though.
