Tribute, also known as Jenny is Ten, was a 24-hour comic created by Steven Wintle and released on Jenny Everywhere Day 2011 for Jenny Everywhere's tenth anniversary. It was notable as the second-ever Jenny story by her main “creator”, Wintle, and the only one he ever completed.
Contents
Plot
Jenny Everywhere meets a friend at a bar; we get brief illustrations of visits over many years.
At the beginning of the story they are celebrating the friend's coming of age; when they look back on the fake ID card Jenny had gifted them earlier, and which they now no longer need, Jenny admits to having ‘borrowed’ it from their older counterpart in a parallel world. At the end Jenny departs, taking a beer with her.
An unknown time later, Jenny arrives to find her friend sitting on the sidewalk outside the bar. They are implied not to have seen each other in a while; Jenny says, "I think I owe you a beer...", and the friend, in the face of Jenny's oblivious cheerfulness, refuses to speak about the problems they've been having in their own life. Just when they seem to have found the courage to open up, they find that Jenny's disappeaed again.
When they meet up again her friend is wearing a bandana, with no hair visible. They both announce they have something to say, but when Jenny speaks up first to tell her friend about how they are the only constant in her life and she doesn't know what she would do without them, the friend ends up not saying what was on their mind.
Some time later Jenny comes to the Bar again but waits in vain. Realising what has happened, she runs out of the bar in tears.
Worldbuilding
Jenny
- Jenny Everywhere appears in the same incarnation previously seen in Cars. She is characterised as cheerful and open, with a somewhat poor grasp of the travails of an ordinary human life when set against her own whimsical adventures. Despite the story depicting four scenes years apart, Jenny interestingly never appears any older.
Universes
- This story takes place in one, mundane universe, though with references and flashbacks to others, including one where “David Cassidy became President of the United States”.
Other
- Jenny Everywhere's friend quips that they're “like Commissioner Gordon” after Jenny disappears on them for the second time without saying goodbye.
Behind the scenes
Background
Upon releasing the story for Jenny's tenth anniversary, Steven Wintle appended a short commentary. It states that he actually created the story “a few years” earlier than 2011, though it is not clear if he had already made it public.
| It’s been ten years since Jenny Everywhere was first made public. I check up on her every couple of months, and I’m always shocked and pleased to see new people discovering her and creating new worlds for her. Thanks to everyone who took a chance on her. The toast is on me.
In celebration of her tenth birthday, I present the only Jenny Everywhere story I’ve ever completed, a 24-hour comic from a few years back. Check out the hot mess after the jump. |
| —Steven Wintle |
Although it is never explicitly stated in the story, the implication is that Jenny Everywhere's friend died of cancer. The symbol on the cover of the story alludes to this.
