Tales To Behold Halloween Cameo Caper 2014 was an interlude in Paul Hoppe's webcomic The Cosmic Beholder, constituting its involvement in the Halloween Cameo Caper 2014 webcomic crossover event. It featured Jenny Everywhere as part of the Odds. As per the spirit of the crossover, it also included cameo appearances by characters from multiple other webcomics participating in the event, the conceit being that each webcomic's Kokotomo story was taking place in the same place as, and simultaneously with, all the others.

Plot

The Odds (Armstrong Fatbuckle, the Blue Knight, Centennia, Merv the Griffin, Jenny Everywhere and Captain Evening) arrive on the magical island of Kokotomo by plane. They are welcomed by the mysterious Mr Montibar before spreading out as the magic of the Island allows their dreams to come true: thus does Armstrong dance and party with a pair of Valkyries while the Griffin fights zombies and the Blue Knight enjoys a lifelike medieval court brought back to life. Jenny, Armstrong and Centennia, however, choose to merely relax on the beach, where they soon cross paths with Abúi, Aggie and Scale, old friends of Jenny's (who relates how she met them while they were being threatened by a Globtroll in Dimension Y). Eventually, most of the Odds decide they “have to go back to saving the world” and leave on the same plane that brought them — but realise after take-off that Jenny and Centennia have stayed behind!

Worldbuilding

Jenny Everywhere

• The story features the real Jenny Everywhere with the Odds.

Universes

• This story takes place on Kokotomo Island, an interdimensional hub of some sort.
• Jenny once passed through Dimension Y while “on a bike trail of the Outer Realms”.

Other

• Armstrong Fatbuckle is referred to as “the Living Skeleton”.

Continuity

• Centennia and Jenny Everywhere's presence on Kokotomo Island was first shown in COMIC: Caper 2014 Bikini Babes, another entry in The Halloween Cameo Caper 2014 released a few days before this story. Paul Hoppe later authored an additional, one-panel comic acting both as an epilogue to his story and as a tie-in with the earlier work, under the title of Halloween Cameo Caper 2014 Reprise.
• The real Jenny arrived in Reality Z-25 31-H in COMIC: Meanwhile, In Queens, though she had not yet made contact with the Odds in COMIC: Journey Out Of Misery.
• This story depicts Abúi as a seasoned interdimensional traveller. Her first, troubled ventures outside of her homeworld were depicted in COMIC: Incognito and COMIC: Enchanted.
