Journey into Irrelevancy is a Classic LNH series by Amabel Holland. This absurd comedic series was originally intended as a distraction from the grim, super-serious Pearly White, but Amabel found writing that series too depressing and concentrated on JII instead.
- It was very seldom that any drama was seriously attempted. It possessed the pacing and logic of a Jay Ward cartoon and showed a healthy disrespect for anything resembling taste. It was goofy and silly and broke the fourth wall at every possible occasion. It had no redeeming artistic qualities and most of the jokes were lame puns or obscure pop culture references.
- But damn, did I love writing it.
- – Amabel Holland, Some Psuedo-Random Thoughts on the LNH
It introduced or reintroduced many of Amabel's Classic LNH characters not affiliated with Teenfactor. (And killed off a bunch of them, but a surprising number came back as ghosts or revenants.)
It also had backup stories of wildly varying style and tone, setting up JII's more serious and horror-oriented successor, Net.Heroes On Parade.
It can be read on the Eyrie Archive here.
