Of COURSE Spencer was the guy who came by to say hi to Jake. ^^

Spencer's consistently a fun character to bring in; since he has no motives outside of being a prick, it's consistently a coin-flip if he's going to help our heroes or troll them. .... Or more likely both.

For the record, it was planned for a while, like way before the Marvelous Man arc was even close to over, for Spencer to give Jake a new car that was bigger and more suited for transporting the kids. It wasn't until this chapter was underway that I considered him just repairing Jake's older, crummier car instead of giving him a brand new one. I was split on which I wanted to do, ultimately deciding on this one because of just how much more effort had to go into it. Spencer's entire shtick is being impressively petty, and this was just a glorious instance of it.

In case you guys forgot, the "crushed into a cube" bit isn't entirely accurate. What really happened was Jake wrecked his car by running it INTO Marvelous Man, who then responded by throwing it back at him. The kids even talked about how much they missed it a few chapters back.

I honestly always meant for Jake's car to be a bigger deal in the comic than it wound up being? Meant to have bits with him having to fix it himself, complaining about how it never worked, the kids calling it the Jakemobile. It kinda never wound up happening. Weird.

Funny, imagine a good few readers saw the finished version before I did. I did a lot of cleanup and stuff on it and colored the backgrounds, plus did the colors for Spencer, Shinobu, and the car, but I was kind of just too exhausted to actually finish it so had to pass the rest off to Adam. ... Feel kind of guilty that the only real reason I was that tired is instead of doing it right away I was playing WWE 2K22 but y'know, I just spent $100 on a new game, might as well enjoy it I guess.

Either way, yeah, this was an idea that was floating around for awhile, just kind of jumping straight to Spencer being a jerk to Jake in a very specific way that's kind of just as generous as it is cruel. In general do tend to really enjoy these two's dynamic; kind of not sure how exactly Spencer feels about Jake besides enjoying trolling him but he definitely feels some kind of way about him.

I'd say Jake probably should check that car for stuff to spy on him with it but that's kind of more Power's thing.

Now that is a grade A+ petty action

Jake looks like he's grinding his teeth in that last panel.
