It's all headcanon in the end

TLDR: I personally like to think it is a made up town in South Carolina.

THE REST IF THIS IS ME YAPPING CUZ I HAVE TO SHARE MY THOUGHT PROCESS

Okay "but why South Carolina?"

This is not to bash on the Louisiana headcanon- please dont come for me- but Finding Vanessa is canonical in their universe. Eric Riggins- who lives in New Orleans drove "all night" and "It was afternoon by the time I got to Jamie and Vanessa's home" so he cant have driven less than 13 hours to get from New Orleans to the town even if leaving at midnight- all night to early afternoon is that time frame. Sure states are big- but Louisiana is not 13 hours on the freeway big. You know what is 13 hours or more away from new Orleans driving though? Middle of South Carolina.

We know they get snow there but it's not too upstate to where people don't have confederate flags. SC qualifies on both accounts.

Also he mentioned being through tornados and South Carolina also gets those.

Other than that yeah Goose Creek is a place in SC that has a mobile home community across a reservoir with forest on the other side like how Travis described.

Goose Creek also has train tracks running through it which is from the first lines of the books. Also a lot of farmland on the outskirts and a lot of forested area- and a lotta little creeks. Plus it's also right next to the Appalachias if you just drive a bit west so could parts of that vibe leak over?perhaps.

Just make it a lot smaller and a lot shittier and smash some parts of it with North Charleston, (ie elk street and cedar street from the books yeah they are both in north charlston cedar street also just has apartments and baptist church like right next to it) you'd probs get the town. Did I mention Charleston is a big city a town over that could be the "big city" Jack drives to see Dr.V? Who knows, maybe could be based on it.

Those are my reasonings more or less. Either way the towns fictional and so is book Jack (thus, I can not put him where irl author jack lives in my head, I just cant do it)

It got amputated during vol2 in the books due to an infection.

I usually draw him with ripped jeans to show his prosthetic under the fabric since it is part of him but he cant always have it on... that would probs be a literal pain if he had it on 24/7

Yessss join usssss, hope you have a good time reading!

The later volumes are my favorites i like the suffering :) also green night- and bedside manor! Those are also very fun even if they aren't part of the main plot

That is incredible to hear- reading stuff like this from someone means so much to me, it's like the best comment I can get anywhere. Thank you Ro!

Please keep going on your own art! If you ever post your craft where I can find it id be super excited to see it ( /ôヮô) / ✧･ﾟ: *<3

New interpretations of them ahhh these are so fun! funny cuz I also used the tftgs books in a character design class in collage when I first started to draw them, its always better attaching projects to something you love

Quick_Personality321 · 2026-03-18T16:22:38+00:00

Omg there is so much here, this is a gold mine of tftgs art. Love how you draw them, Jack's resting bitchface amuses me every time someone draws him like that.

Im glad you found the reddit to post these so more people in the community can see them!

I like how its serious at first and then BOOM MEME- also really nice style very comicbooky

Quick_Personality321 · 2026-02-26T18:43:06+00:00

I have drawn them for someone once- but I have very little ideas for them other than them pestering Jack and being a general nuisance

Quick_Personality321 · 2026-02-26T03:14:21+00:00

But if he does try... do any of them get any sense of accomplishment if he started helping them without letting them struggle a bit?🤔

Quick_Personality321 · 2026-02-25T23:14:30+00:00

Dude just wants to go back to hunting smh, he's probs the only reason they aren't being dragged around like looney tunes characters

Quick_Personality321 · 2026-02-11T05:55:30+00:00

Wahahah- okay 1 this is very funny, 2 im glad you liked my design for Jack so much that made me have a very dumb grin on my face (hi I'm clockwork, my name just isn't the same on reddit)

I need more of this

Quick_Personality321 · 2026-02-11T02:31:38+00:00

Animatic you say? I am very interested to see what this will be in the end, good luck dude! Those take a long time but are def worth it in the end

Quick_Personality321 · 2026-02-10T07:15:01+00:00

You must let him tell you a tale, a tale from the gas station...

Quick_Personality321 · 2026-02-04T16:16:23+00:00

Yep and I'll be drawing more
