Viktor's Marble-Ous Childhood

The inspiration for this one was when my dad told me a few years ago that, when he was a kid, he used to watch a TV show about cultures around the world known as "The Big Blue Marble". I wanted to make a comic about Mr. Petrov's childhood again, so I decided to use this idea as the base for it (as I think my dad said that it aired in the 1980's).
Kids can be cruel sometimes, as TV Tropes can tell you, and Viktor knows that for a fact. I always imagined that his childhood would be awkward and kind of rough, seeing as he was an Eastern European immigrant struggling with adaptation to a new culture, language, and the like (not to mention that he had a weight problem and it took him several years to learn to speak English correctly).
