Trivia[]

  • Looking back on this comic as an adult, author GTA Nerd doesn't feel like this comic is too impactful due to the fact Michelle is (and continues to be) an underused character. Packie mentions going on dates with her such as to the movies, but such moments have never been shown.
    • Future comic "Last Day on Earth" addresses how they claim to be boyfriend and girlfriend yet they hardly spend time together. However, "Pack To The Future" establishes that they will get more serious in the middle of high school.
  • This comic was released on what would have been Gerry's 12th birthday (Oct 20 2015). However, characters do not age in the series after 2013.
  • This is the first and currently only comic where rain appears. It is meant to symbolize Packie's sadness over the break-up.
  • This is currently the only comic where Hector Wilson appears without Maureen, and even then he simply has a non-speaking cameo.
  • This is the first appearance of the McReary-Wilson Family Cafe since its grand opening in "Portrait of a Football Player".
  • Dan Schneider, the creator of many Nickelodeon shows such as Drake and Josh, iCarly, and Victorious, is mentioned in this comic. Natalie tells Packie that she hates "Dan Schnieder shows", and yells at Packie to change the channel. He then changes the channel to the show Jessie, which is on Disney Channel.
    • The series is unlikely to address him by name again due to his notorious actions as revealed from 2018 onward.
