Comic notes:
- Fun fact, I had such trouble coming up with a three-way argument for this page that the only dialogue that was written until recently was "sigh", "you're wrong!" "guys!" "No!" and then the last panel. I was dreading this page but a few weeks ago I was like "oh they're going to argue about religion!" I was originally thinking of having them fight about Odysseus as a leader, but I didn't want to do a lot of research for this page and I haven't read the Odyssey in a loooong time.
- Georgio and religion will come up in the chapter 3 epilogue... It's a whole-ass character arc.
- Ivanhoe is a hardline athiest and is anti-religion.
- Ivanhoe really loves a friend he can get into really exhausting arguments with.
This is the origin story of the origin story! How did the pirates become friends? What was Ivanhoe like in school? After getting expelled and denied entrance to a private high school, Ivanhoe Scott gets sent to Black River Secondary where he meets his future best friends who later become the π-rates. Ivanhoe is approached by an older student named Kingston, who convinces him to dig up some "treasure" buried and abandoned by some gangsters. What follows is the camping trip from hell...
