Ghost Story (comic story)

Ghost Story was a story arc in Grace Crowley's webcomic Loxie & Zoot which guest-starred Jenny Everywhere. Owing to taking place in a naturist camp, the story's visuals are heavily NSFW, although ironically, the actual storyline was a family-friendly Scooby Doo pastiche.

Plot

After a parachute jump gone awry, Jenny Everywhere shifts into a new reality just in time to touch down harmlessly in a swimming pool. This swimming pool is the one of the Koala Bay Bares Naturist Resort, a nudist campout in this universe's Australia. Jenny decides to stick around for a day or two, socialising with the many eccentric residents, and ends up helping them foil a hoax by the Resort's archenemy (or at least “arch-pain-in-the-next”), Tex Tyler.

Worldbuilding

Jenny

• This story features a thin Asian incarnation of Jenny with square, purple-rimmed goggles and a red scarf. She notes that she sometimes doesn't know when shifting will land her, but appears broadly quite in control of her powers, including remembering events from the lives of various other incarnations of herself.

Universes

• Jenny arrives in a universe with no overt supernatural elements.

Continuity

• Jenny Everywhere remembers having once met Drag-Racing Monkeys, a reference to COMIC: Jenny Everywhere vs. the Drag-Racing Monkeys.
• Jenny also tells some of the Koala Bay residents about an adventure during which she squared off against Faceless Cyborg Ninjas, as she did in COMIC: Damn Fine Hostile Takeover.
• This was the first of several incursions of Jenny lore into the shared continuity of Loxie & Zoot and The Bare Pit, Grace Crowley's naturist webcomics. Loxie and Zoot themselves recalled their acquaintance with Jenny in COMIC: Incognito, while Jenny herself returned to Koala Bay in the much later COMIC: The Most Peaceful Place in the Universe.
• The incarnation of Jenny in this story was suggested by Paul Hoppe in 2013 to somehow be the same as the one featured in his own comics as part of The Cosmic Beholder. This was eventually confirmed by COMIC: The Most Peaceful Place in the Universe.
