Following Up was a bonus comic to “Issue 3” of the Tales To Behold subseries of the webcomic The Cosmic Beholder. Written and drawn by Paul Hoppe, it was released both in webcomic form and in a limited print run.
It featured Jenny Nowhere (in the as-yet-unrevealed guise of “Evil Cloak”).

Plot
After driving Jesse into town to meet her friends Alicia and Babs, Doctor Brain crashes his car due to Evil Cloak materialising out of nowhere in the middle of the road. With his bowl cracked, the Doctor is pinned on his back lest the nutrient fluid in which his brain basks be allowed to leak out. With Brain in this position of weakness, Evil Cloak appears again and reiterates her offer of a deal.
