~Classic Comics Sunday~—Those ’70s Comics: 759 Episode 509.5 - “A Jackie Burkhart

~Classic Comics Sunday~—Those ’70s Comics: 759Episode 509.5 - “A Jackie Burkhart Christmas”Inspired by episode 510 - “The Crunge”—Comments: I wanted to show why Hyde had a reason to feel as insecure as he does about Jackie and Kelso in season 5. As written in the series, post-”Babe, I”m Gonna Leave You” (5x14), Hyde clearly continues to resent Jackie shouting, “Get off my boyfriend!” at Kelso and hasn’t forgiven her for it. He does to her what he tells Eric not to do to him in “Eric’s Stash” (2x12):Hyde: You know what, man? You either forgive me for what happened with Donna, or you don’t. But you can’t keep throwing that in my face. Hyde carps on Jackie’s outburst to her from the time they reconcile to the time he finds her comforting Kelso on Donna’s couch in “You Shook Me” (5x22). Silently, he indicates that her performing a certain sexual act is the only way he’ll stop. He tries to control her by giving her an order not to spend time with Kelso alone. When she disobeys it, he assumes the worst and and retaliates. None of this behavior is okay. None of it fits with the depiction of Hyde’s character since “Prom Night” (1x19), either. He acts out of proportion to what’s shown or spoken about on-screen, and he acts like someone Jackie should get out of a relationship with ASAP. Although the truth is concealed by jokes, he’s monstrous – especially since he does no self-reflection, prioritizes his fear of losing her forever instead of empathizing with the pain his betrayal caused her, and ultimately comes to believe he’s injured party during the aftermath of their breakup.If I had to write that Hyde in the comics, he’d probably have an “accident” with a woodchipper, and real!Hyde would reform from the remains. (Which I basically do, but the woochipper is metaphorical instead of literal. Or, to put it in religious terms, he voluntarily goes to purgatory to cleanse himself of his sins through hard work.)But I chose, rather, to depict how and why Hyde gets to the point of feeling so insecure about Jackie’s love for him that he transforms into someone almost unrecognizable. I provide his thoughts so we understand his feelings and behavior. I make clear he sleeps with someone else both to hurt Jackie in retaliation and as a way of ensuring she’d never take him back – because he knows his own love for her would drive him back to her. —Star Vector Brush Set PS7Gradient Design Brushes from obsidiandawn.com -- source link
