The enigmatic Jones sisters have appeared peripherally throughout the View Askewniverse, adding a little free-spirited spice to the day-to-day of Leonardo, New Jersey.
In the final issue of Quick Stops Volume 3, we find all three sisters together for an illuminating family-focused story time. This comic takes place the day after Tricia Jones witnessed a unique live recording of a game show at her local mall in Mallrats, the day Heather Jones and Rick Derris left Quick Stops Groceries for some beach time in Clerks, and while Chasing Amy’s Alyssa Jones trains down from the city to visit her parents.
After their tryst at the beach, Heather and Rick head to the Jones’ family home. There, they catch up with Heather’s sisters Tricia and Alyssa. It turns out Rick and his buddy Cohee Lundin used to spend a lot of time in the Jones’ household and have an…intimate connection to infamous “Finger Cuffs” story. It turns out that there is more to that fateful rendezvous than the malicious rumor mill would have you believe—enough complicated human sexuality that an academic-minded Tricia might even include it in her book!
The final installment of Vol 3 in Kevin Smith's Quick Stops finds us following a story that really wasn't needed, taking place the day after Mallrats this story focuses on the Jones sisters Heather (Clerks and Clerks 3), Tricia (Mallrats) and Alyssa (Chasing Amy). It picks up right after the scene in Clerks where Dante is fined for when Randal sold a pack of cigarettes to a child. The whole comic felt off compared to the last 2 in the volume with those being touching tributes to Shannen Doherty and Alan Rickman respectively. I didn't hate it but I also found myself not enjoying it alot
Kevin Smith does it again! This comic was a simple dinner that blended 4 of his movies with the Jones sisters. I really enjoyed the dialogue and the sisterly drama. It was nice seeing what happened with the infamous "Bush Hog". If the writing maintains this level of excellence, I hope Kevin Smith does a million of these.
