Happy Birthday, Jenny!
According to The Shifter Archive Project, today marks the 8th anniversary of the unveiling of the world’s most cheerful public domain comic book character, Jenny Everywhere.
The most gratifying part of the Jenny Everywhere experience is watching artists discover and provide their own take on the character. I never would have imagined that eight years on, with very little in the way of promotion, people would still stumble across Jenny Everywhere and feel compelled to add to her story.

She’s still a great idea.

OK, so this may have been ill-advised, but here:
she’s got a Facebook page now.

Did you do that, Grant?
I don’t even have a Facebook page. It hardly seems fair.

Well, I could make one for you, too, but that would be confusing.

OMG STEVEN!!!!! Hello. So, I was at a small press mini comics convention at the weekend, and I picked up a JE comic by someone called Nigel Palmer. I’ve never heard of him (and there’s no website) but, hey, it’s Jenny. And then I look her up online and discover I just missed her birthday which was the day before I bought the comic, and then I think, “whatever happened to Steven anyway?” so I google you, and here you are blogging with your brother. Hurray!

Nigel Palmer huh? I *MUST* get a hold of this person/comic! (for permission to put some/all of it on the archive). If I can get at least a scan of the cover, that would be awesome!
