Trivia[]

  • Looking back as an adult, GTA Nerd considers this his second least favorite comic of the series (the first being a tie between "Wisconsin's Greatest Hero" and "Brothers For Life"), due to the unimaginative plot, and uncreative way of Gerry "disguising" himself as Packie (he simply wears the football uniform as normal and asks for others to call him "Packie" instead). Angel apparently blows his cover just by accidentally calling him Gerry.
    • It is considered a worse inverse of "The Big Trade-Off" where Packie plays for Gerry in the football game.
  • Ma, Francis, Derrick, and Kate have a minor subplot about going out to eat at a restaurant named "Burger Universe", but there are only two scenes with them; the subplot does not compliment the main story, and doesn't even have a proper conclusion. Looking back at this old comic, GTA Nerd doesn't understand why he didn't just have them have a cameo at the football game, which they apparently missed the entirety of.
    • That being said, this may be the only comic where Packie shares no scenes with Francis.
