Chelle is about to uncover the whereabouts of Virginia's missing ex, Rachel, when Jill is kidnapped by the Nevada Liberation Militia. Yes, those mullet-wearing chicks in plaid shirts hit Chelle up for a $2 million ransom, or no safe return of Jill. Meanwhile, Jane gets talked into manning the captain's chair of a 1984 Winnebago, on its annual "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" tour to Palm Springs... Only they never make it to Palm Springs! Mayhem ensues when guys in drag meet chicks with mullets and guns near the Sedona Vortex where Jane shape shifts into her animal totem and runs like the wind! Yeah baby... Girl on girl action, chicks with guns, a vegan menace, vintage Winnebagos and the powerful transformative energy of the Sedona Vortex... this book has it all!

At either the start of this volume or the end of the last volume, Jill is kidnapped and the kidnappers (who have been seen in the Jane's World comics before, they are the Nevada Mullet Liberation Army (or something like that)) have informed Chele that she can have Jill back for $2 million.
Oh - the description for this volume just reminded me - Jill looks remarkably like the woman Virginia, Chele's mother, loved way back when. Believing . . . um . . that Virginia would stop trying to hump Jill if Rachel was back in Virginia's life, Chele and Jill begin a hunt to track down this woman (I believe this hunt actually started in the last volume, but maybe it started in this one).
Meanwhile Ted is attempting to get someone to mess up Bobbie's truck so he . . I mean she can make money off Bobbie losing. Ted has no redeeming qualities.
Meanwhile, Jane helps Rick on his annual 'drive into the desert in drag' event by driving an RV.
Eventually, somewhere along the way (and yes I do recall how and why it happened (heh, no, 'Vortex' wtf? I don't know why)) Jane turns into a bunny and Jill turns into a fox.
Despite people becoming their totem animals, and a lot of other wild stuff occurring, this was a lot more coherent volume than the previous one.
The latest volume of the lesbian farce action drama. That sounds like it's too many genres at once, but Paige flips between them so effortlessly that what should clash, doesn't. The extraordinarily large cast of characters is sometimes hard to keep track of, but it's certainly worth the extra effort.
