Trivia / Joe vs. Elan School

• Anonymous Author: The author goes by "Joe Nobody."
• Colbert Bump: The comic renewed interest in Maura Curley's book Duck in a Raincoat, which was written about Elan School's founder and owner.
• Line to God: Joe used to post on Reddit as u/mr_joe_nobody, and would communicate with readers on the comic's dedicated subreddit up until Reddit banned his account in 2021 for unspecified reasons. He still interacts directly with fans on Instagram and Patreon, though.
• What Could Have Been: In the Epilogue, Joe talks about some ideas he'd had for the webcomic, that he eventually dismissed as too overwhelming:
  • He talks about including a parallax scrolling Infinite Canvas like that of Hobo Lobo, so that someone scrolling down the page would see more and more details, such as more and more students coming to the forefront of a general meeting.
  • He also discusses an idea he'd had for the comic that would've followed the format of a Choose Your Own Adventure story, where the reader could make decisions as if they were at Elan, with the results typically being a general meeting, the Ring, the corner, shotdown, or getting depressed.
