Today’s incentive sketch doesn’t entirely follow the narrative of the strip, but let’s just say it was inspired by it. Click here to check it out.

So now Jimmy is shacking up with Tom! Will wonders never cease? What will Cami have to say about it? You’re going to have to wait until Monday to see where it all goes next!

We’ve reached a critical turning point in this little adventure. With Monday’s continuation, this will be THE LONGEST STORY ARC THEATER HOPPER HAS EVER TOLD! Ominous, no?

It’s exciting in a respect, but also a little nerve-wracking when you cross a boundary like that. Remember that scene in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings where all the hobbits band together to begin their quest? Early in their journey, they come to the edge of a field. Sam stops and comments, “If I take one more step, it’ll be the farthest away from home I’ve ever been.”

It’s kind of like that.

As such, I’m becoming paranoid that it’s going on to long, and I feel obligated to keep referencing back to the origin of the story so people don’t become lost or bored. I don’t want you guys to think that I’m fishing for compliments with the whole insecurity routine. Just trying to explain where my head is at.

That said, interest has really heated up and people are starting to wonder what will happen to Jimmy next. The people in the THorum have been extremely supportive in this respect. Thanks, guys! Of course, I’m getting some really nice e-mails, too…
