The Mind of Jenny Everywhere was Benj Christensen’s contribution to The Sketchbook Project and it was presented for the 2019 Jenny Everywhere Day.

While listed as a comic story it is not a traditional narrative. It is readable as a series of standalone sketches and as a basic introduction to Jenny Everywhere. There are more subtle sequences, indicated by short chains of letters, that connect related thoughts on non-sequential pages.

Behind the scenes

On the Sketchbook Project website the artist wrote,

This sketchbook is an exploration of the infinitely disconnected mind of the open source superhero Jenny Everywhere. It's also a collection of my own notes on the character and can serve as a guide to anyone that might want to create a Jenny Everywhere story.
