With its most notable feature a pier covered in ordinary tourist attractions, Right-On By The Sea was described as "sleepy" and "a peaceful place". Its inhabitants were known for usually getting along, with [[Jenny Everywhere#In Right-On By The Sea|the local Jenny Everywhere]] being one of the only exceptions alongside her "gang" of friends, [[Clea]], [[Lex]] and [[Bradley]]. | With its most notable feature a pier covered in ordinary tourist attractions, Right-On By The Sea was described as "sleepy" and "a peaceful place".

Local places of interest include the beach and its pier with amusement rides. It had at least one “in” night-club, [[Club Twart]] ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Name's Not Down (comic story)|Name's Not Down]]''). The coffee shop [[Cuppa Cha Cha Cha]] was popular with Jenny and her friends ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Damn Fine Hostile Takeover (comic story)|Damn Fine Hostile Takeover]]''). Connecting the town to the rest of England, the train station is an obvious place to meet people. | |||

The city of Right-On By The Sea is a thinly disguised Brighton, as readers might guess from the name. Since artist [[Nelson Evergreen]] was living in Brighton at the time, he had every opportunity to draw the city as he saw it. | The city of Right-On By The Sea is a thinly disguised Brighton, as readers might guess from the name.

In ''[[Name's Not Down (comic story)|Name's Not Down]]'', we see in the very first panel of the very first Jenny Everywhere comic an aerial view of a seashore with a fun pier (as seen at the top of this page). In our world this is known as Palace Pier, a landmark of the city and popular tourist attraction. | In ''[[Name's Not Down (comic story)|Name's Not Down]]'', we see in the very first panel of the very first Jenny Everywhere comic an aerial view of a seashore with a fun pier (as seen at the top of this page).

''[[Damn Fine Hostile Takeover (comic story)|Damn Fine Hostile Takeover]]'' opens on the beach and the stairs and arches seen at the bottom of page three match Brighton styles, particularly the stairs near Brighton Music Hall (700 meters west of the pier). | ''[[Damn Fine Hostile Takeover (comic story)|Damn Fine Hostile Takeover]]'' opens on the beach and the stairs and arches seen at the bottom of page three match Brighton styles, particularly the stairs near Brighton Music Hall (700 meters west of the pier). Also, if one looks closely at the record on page two, the fourth-wall breaking label notes that it was "Recorded in London and Brighton, England." | ||
Most obvious is the train station at the end of the story, which on page 19 is seen clearly from a viewpoint near the junction of Terminus Road and Howard Place. The interior view is also consistent with the building in our reality. | Most obvious is the train station at the end of the story, which on page 19 is seen clearly from a viewpoint near the junction of Terminus Road and Howard Place.
