Toontastic Fun Fact #6
Did you know...
In The Adventures of Jean-Luc & Joey, Joey has a pet centipede. But its not a small centipede, no no no. This one's is HUGE! GIGANTIC! BASICALLY A KAIJU!
Her name is Pedey.
Pedey, Joey's pet gigantic, mutant Queen centipede is based on CENTIPEDE (1998), a remake of the classic ATARI arcade game for PS1/PC/Dreamcast. I love the game and the design of the Centipede itself always felt intimidating. Since its quite an obscure remake these days, I thought as a way to honor it, I'd employ the design into the series.
And yes... Pedey does run a vast bug kingdom in this series.
Pedey's kingdom has one vast underground world allowing her, her bugs, and rival bugs to be anywhere in the world at anytime (including the center of the Earth), and her appearance in the surface world is similar to that of a towering kaiju monster (when standing) rather than an appropriately-sized insect.
