Jocks never quite get the point.

Ozy's relationship with Jeremy the bully is based on my own relationship with a school bully of the same name. Truthfully, though, that specific individual didn't treat me nearly as badly as this.

What was significant about that relationship was that Jeremy called me, asking for help on his homework. I helped him. He never bothered me after that. I captured the very beginning of that incident in this strip, but didn't actually retell the whole thing in strip form until years later.
