This week and next week probably constitute my favorite moments in this chapter. Jerry meeting Alternate Thrice Evil is a big, big moment. Thrice has influenced and shaped Jerry in a truly twisted way. How much of that is Jerry’s fault? How much of his life is due to his own decisions? These are important questions, but the question is… will Thrice and Jerry even know to ask them? Or is this just gonna turn into a big fight?
The answer… I think it’s gonna surprise you.
PODCAST!
In case you missed it, Marc and I recently did a podcast together with the good folks at Webcomic Alliance. See all the details here, or go straight to the podcast and have a listen now!
See you on Wednesday with 677 – “His Greatest Creation”
Back before all this mess happen, we seen Jerry scared before and that was due to having his plans revealed too soon. However, he hasn’t experienced true fear until now, has he ? š
Say what you will about Thrice Evil, he has impeccable timing, to arrive just as the portal is opening.
Oh, come ON, Thrice Evil. Didn’t anyone ever lend you a copy of the Evil Overlord’s Handbook? Don’t gloat, kill instantly. While you’re gloating, someone is drawing a bead on you or Jerry will portal you into a volcano or something else will interrupt you.
The entire time this comic has run, the menace of Thrice Evil was overshadowed in my mind by the crippled, impotent Thrice of Earth-Abbadon.
This one strip changed all that.
