WARNING: This page may discuss some mature elements. Expand for details
Some stories covered by this Wiki feature material that may be considered mature, NSFW, or otherwise inappropriate for some audiences. While sensitive images will be blurred or censored by default, the text may discuss adult themes, of a violent or sexual nature, to the extent that these elements are present in the sources. Only proceed if you are permitted and prepared to see such content.
Sensitive content discussed or referenced on this page may include references to sexual situations.

Holiday Pandemonium was an early Jenny Everywhere comic story, being the seventh in the original line-up of the 13 first Barbelith Jenny stories. It was written by Alex Hernandez and drawn by Andres Allocco.

Although not containing any on-panel nudity, the story contained heavy use of adult themes, thus also holding the dubious distinction of being one of the earliest (if not the earliest) NSFW Jenny Everywhere stories, not counting casual instances of strong language in earlier stories.

Curiously, Jenny in this story does not wear her scarf.

Plot

On holiday in Greece, Jenny Everywhere takes a fancy to Drew. With her pride piqued by his non-responsiveness to her flirtatious innuendos, Jenny jumps at the chance for a second try when she happens to meet the god Pan by some old ruins. With Pan's magic, she agrees to be transformed into a form Drew is sure to find attractive. To Jenny's mild dismay, this turns out to be a muscular young man, as Drew is in fact gay. Despite her initial misgivings Jenny (or, rather, “Jerry”) soon gets into the idea and meets up with Drew in the middle of the night while he's attempting to take moonlit pictures of the ruins.

However, Drew proves as impervious to Jerry's advances as he was to Jenny's; it turns out he is a romantic type who is put off by the idea of a one-night stand with no feelings attached, and, either way, finds Jerry's self-absorbed confidence off-putting. With Drew spelling out that “he does not care what Jerry looks like”, Pan's spell breaks and Jerry turns back into Jenny, causing Drew to faint in shock. Although initially angry at the fiasco, Jenny eventually thinks of a worthy answer to the apologetic Pan's offer to do “anything” to make up for his miscalculation — Pan himself is, after all, a man, and not one known for his objection to one-night stands.
