Jenny and the Multiverse is a webcomic starring a version of Jenny Everywhere.
Serialized in short "chapters", the story begins when Jenny's girlfriend Laura Drake tries to demonstrate a new invention: the Triangular Bisector, a portal which can draw power from parallel worlds. Naturally, it goes horribly right when she ends up summoning a malevolent Energy Being called Lord Grallyx, and Jenny, jumping in to save Laura, is blasted with energy from the Bisector, which gives her the ability to summon objects from other universes with her mind.

. Although its creator Aristide Twain also works in The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, the version of Jenny Everywhere seen in this comic is completely different from the version seen in Cupids.
This webcomic contains examples of:
- Alien Sky: On Chapter 2 Page 2, one of the locations Jenny teleports to has an orange sky with a big, green, ringed planet overlooking the horizon.
- Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: Laura listing the hurdles she faced on the way to building the Triangular Bisector:"It hasn't been easy for this humble physics graduate. Delays… setbacks… psychiatric evaluations…"
- Eat the Summoner: Ziz-zagged. Grallyx initially thanks Laura for summoning him and then leaves to cause chaos elsewhere without harming her — but when she tries to interfere in his rampage, he seems quite prepared to eat her and Jenny.
- Evil, Inc.: Starting in Chapter 2 (but seeded in Chapter 1), the Altern Corporation acts as the primary antagonists, with its Corrupt Corporate Executive "the Man in Grey" serving as the Big Bad.
- Extradimensional Emergency Exit: Used frivolously by Jenny after she uses her powers, once teleporting onto the roof to avoid a difficult conversation.
- Fantasy World Map: A map of Mystepolia is seen pinned to the wall behind Laura's desk on the first page.
- Fictional Field of Science: One of the posters in Laura's room is a "Timeline of Geolosophical Eras".
- Fourth-Wall Mail Slot: A “Special Q&A” with the main characters was held at the end of the first story arc, with reader-submitted questions answered as short, single-panel comics. The questions were presented in-universe as reaching Jenny and Laura through Laura's “Interdimensional Ham Radio”, and the event was fully in-continuity with the broader narrative.
- Freak Lab Accident: Jenny gets her powers when she suffers a blast of energy from the Dimensional Bisector after it was damaged by Grallyx coming through it. Laura is shocked that she's even alive.
- Freudian Couch: Chapter 2 of Jenny and the Multiverse opens on Jenny on Laura's couch, telling Laura about a recurring dream she had, and Laura taking notes from an armchair near the couch. It quickly becomes apparent that Laura misled Jenny about being that kind of doctor and is actually trying to get information out of her.
- Fungus Humongous: Person-sized, bouncy blue ones show up on one page of Chapter 2.
- Not That Kind of Doctor: The confusion is invoked to self-serving ends by Laura (whose degrees are actually in physics and engineering) to get Jenny to tell her about some revealing dreams she had under the guise of therapy, using Exact Words.Laura: "Alright, I've heard enough."Jenny: "Gosh, you're good at this. And I never even knew you had a psychiatry degree!"Laura: "…Well. I have a degree."
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Laura Drake accidentally summons Lord Grallyx to Mystepolia.
- Springy Spores: When she falls off a roof, Jenny breaks her fall by teleporting mid-fall to a field of humongous blue mushroom and bouncing harmlessly off of one.
- Summon Bigger Fish: Discussed. Jenny thinks of using the Bisector to summon the Disciples of Light who dealt with Grallyx the first time, but this proves impractical because the Bisector is broken, and they have to find another way.
- Surveillance as the Plot Demands: A mysterious new villain is introduced on Chapter 2 Page 2 watching a live image of Jenny in the middle of an open field, and one to which she teleported randomly at that. Justified by the visual implication that the device he's using is actually an interdimensional scanner of some kind, used to directly observe dimensions, rather than an ordinary camera feed (given its clear resemblance to Laura's Triangular Bisector in Chapter 1).
