This underwent some really major changes because I wasn't satisfied with the original drawings. I was working against a deadline and I had no choice but to rush the background illustrations somewhat. About those hairstyles that teens sport these days, in between the "bed look" and "wave look" lies what I like to call the "shark look" (no doubt inspired by bands Offspring, Blink 182, et al.). Like a mohawk gone bad it's a probable offspring of the "cobra look" teen girls sported back in the 80s.
