Rail Shift (comic story)
Rail Shift was a nine-page Jenny Everywhere comic story created by Jack Harvey, focusing on his default Jenny. It was notable for being entirely wordless.

Plot
Jenny is on a train, calmly her newspaper, when it is held up by a gang of masked robbers. When one tries to hold her at gunpoint, she calmly replaces his gun with a banana before kicking him back against the window of her compartment, knocking him out. She exists and bursts in on the next wagon, where she finds the leader of the gang. He tries to shoot at her, but she replaces each bullet with a flower as it comes. The rogue escapes onto the next wagon and unhooks his from the one Jenny is standing on, hoping to strand her, but she manages to hop over the gap to continue chasing him. After a brief scuffle, she manages to get a hold of the robber long enough to shift him along through the Infinite and directly into a jail cell. Later, similar events seem set to repeat as Jenny travels on a riverboat.
