4	''Jenny Haniver'' is a SliceOfLife webcomic with a large cast (at the moment, 140), opening with the college life of Jordan Davignon... and extrapolating from there. [[RotatingArcs There are, at any one time, several conflicts going on]], with new characters coming in, and old ones taking the back seat. Generally, the main groups focused on are [[CastHerd the Jenny Haniver crew (the original five or so characters), the GSA at Jordan's old highschool, and the several bands that either rival or tour with Jenny Haniver]]. It can be found [[http://www.smackjeeves.com/comicprofile.php?id=15431 here]].
