We take a while to get to the title, but the next story begins here.

I felt guilty about ending the comic-book series with a chapter that introduced a new story arc.

But this chapter is still one of my personal favorites. Miller and Sully are MUCH better-defined here than in the last chapter, and they make much better villains than Thackerabilitus. The interplay between the Fans is comical, revealing, and thematic, and Jason's expressions—especially Rumy's—are at their best. The series was really coming together, so naturally it was time to go out of print and not produce any new material for almost a year.

This page and the next were the second item of Fans material published online only, a two-page supplement to the fifth, and as it turned out, final issue. Jones' almost-soliloquy here is based on that of his original model, Tommy Lee Jones as Agent K in Men in Black, as he tells Agent J what's what.

X-Files fans know he's also based on The Cigarette-Smoking Man, Mulder and Scully's archnemesis despite the fact that they all work for the U.S. government.

The first online-only Fans was a little exercise in hypertext, questionable use of company logos, and Thack-being-Thack called "The Thackerabilitus Files," which I discarded long ago. Trust me: some projects are not worth revisiting. Anything good about its ideas was recycled into Thack's final appearance a couple of years later.
