One of My Favorite Flashes on the Internet!
This cartoon simultaneously tells the tragic story of Jerry's last days, and also makes us all laugh with its relative innocence. Jerry really is a perplexing character. So many questions are yet left unanswered by Jerry, Jackie and Jerry and the Closet. Where did his life go so wrong? What happened during the remainder of his childhood after his parents divorced? Who is the brunette, mother of his child and where did he meet her? And possibly the most important question, what did he do (besides having sex outside of marriage and committing suicide) to send him to Hell?
I think what we all should probably take away from this Flash movie (aside from it being hilarious), is that all of us can toppled and brought to the point of suicide by something a stressful as an unwanted child.
On a lighter note, I've noticed that the focus in this installment is Jerry's daily grind, whereas in Jackie, her life is so messed up, no two days are ever the same and no routine forms. I'm not sure if that was intentional or if that's just how you chose to tell the story. Whatever the case may be, I still find it fascinating.
Interweaving story lines are something that have always interested me, so I hope to see another installment in Jerry's saga. Maybe the rest of his adolescence, the story of the brunette or perhaps even the life of his bastard child.
No matter what happens with this story from here is irrelevant. Bottom line this is a great Flash movie and you, sir, a great Flash artist!
