#jacked up halloween

No worries! These are anxious times.

The special was written by myself and storyboarded/written by Paul McEvoy (It's a Paul day) and Brett Varon, with Paul taking the first half and Brett taking the second. They cross-pollinated jokes and shots, and I think most of Jack's personality came from Paul's love of spooky old European folk tales and Brett's love of dumb jokes.

Old sketches I made long ago after switching from traditional art. Once in a while I find myself doodling old characters from shows I enjoyed as a kid, especially characters that had been through the wringer. I think it’s great when people can take a character and look at them from different perspectives. Jack is one of those characters and it’s shame we didn’t see more of him, especially in Underfist! It would’ve been interesting to see what he would’ve been as a member in the team.

It does make me wonder about how he’s been getting along in the modern age (aside from the pumpkin head of course). I like to think the land he lives on is somewhat protected as a “historical site” by the city. The pumpkin patch seen in the Halloween special makes me imagine him setting up shop at the market as well (trying to ignore the strange looks). Although looking back at the PS2 game, why is the pumpkin patch in the graveyard?
