FYI comic

The comic was made shortly after this short.

Early versions of Rita and Cassie appear in the comic.

Another girl is seen beside Cassie; her face is never shown.

Cassie's hair is less realistic and wears an early, sleeveless version of her current shirt.

Rita was supposed to be serious yet disabled while Cassie was the outgoing and cheerful one.

Cassie does not wear her lipstick like in the first episodes of the BrainPOP series.
