Footnotes
- ↑ The following passage from the novel Who Put That Hair in My Toothbrush? (1984, by Jerry Spinelli): "I even thought of Leo Borlock. A lot of kids - mostly girls, actually - go to him for advice" (Spinelli 21). It could be the same Leo from Stargirl, which would make sense due to him not appearing in the sequel.
