Just like Thalia Thistle, Rodney Blueblatt is a character who hasn’t gotten to be the star of his own chapter until now. We’ll get to know all of the team members of the Chibi Sesame Seeds a lot better this semester since the Fireball Championship is coming soon!

More on that to come…

Rodney’s name is a nod to Rodney Greenblatt, one of my favorite artists, who is probably best known for creating the videogame character Parappa the Rapper. I’ve got a ton of his art all over my apartment and it always inspires creativity and fun!

Star Burger is a popular restaurant chain that sets up an express station within the school. Contrary to nasty rumors, the burgers are not made of stars, but an enterprising cluster of stars in fact owns the business.
