Hatching Hazards!

A combined April Fools/Easter comic for 2021, conceptualised by Jinji himself, and drawn and edited by xxlPanda⎋. Featuring a guest appearance from Mallow the Garbodor, a friendly but highly-toxic Garbodor character owned by a long-time friend of Jinji.

It’s April Fool’s Day, and in a quaint little Pokémon village, rumours begin to spread about a giant Pokémon egg supposedly hidden in the forest. While some doubt the legitimacy of the story, the rumours soon become talk of the town. Suddenly, Jinji appears in the town with the giant egg in tow. Everyone gathers around to take a look at the unusually large egg. But is there more going on than meets the eye?

Click the arrow buttons to flip between the six pages of the comic. Underneath each page, you can also read the original dialogue I wrote for each page, which was edited and simplified by xxlPanda to create the final comic text 🙂

Some days earlier...

"Hey, Mallow!"

"Ready to go, Jinji!"
"Whew! You've really outdone yourself Mallow. This trash smells almost as bad as you!"
"Gaharb! I be a master of all things stinky!"

The giant egg was a fake, a shell created by Jinji himself!
The smelly Garbodor joins Jinji in filling the inside with disgustingly pungent garbage!

Once the egg is sufficiently filled, Jinji seals the egg shut - with the Garbodor inside!

With a snap of his fingers, Jinji casts an illusion...

...and the egg turns invisible, hidden until April Fools Day for Jinji to discover! Later that night, Jinji haunts the villager's dreams and plants the egg into their thoughts!

Over the coming days, as the rumour of the giant egg spreads around the town, Mallow the Garbodor spends his time spraying sludge and poison gas around the egg and focusing his natural body odour. Combined with the hot sun, the egg quickly fills with a horrendously toxic stench, which intensifies with every passing moment!
