Those ’70s Comics: 768
Episode 509.5 - “A Jackie Burkhart Christmas”
---
Comments: While “A Jackie Burkhart Christmas” isn’t the first original story or episode I wrote for the comics, it is -- I believe -- the first full-length original story (or episode) I wrote for them. It’s inspired by the in-between-episode moments or events we hear of, often in a tossed-off sentence, that lead to the major conflicts among and character arcs for Jackie, Hyde, and Kelso.
In last Sunday’s classic comic, Fez hid in Donna’s closet because he was bored. That let him overhear a private conversation with Jackie and Donna. He reports the intel to Kelso for gossiping-to-a-friend-about-other-friends reasons. Nothing nefarious but definitely naive. He trusts Kelso too much (for now).
