Pomp Phoenix

Pomp Phoenix is part of the cast considered famous in Jack & Jackie. He first appears in Season 1, at the episode "Summer Day", but his first interaction happens in Season 3, at the episode "Pomp Men".

Description

Pomp Phoenix, as his name already says, is a phoenix. He has light feathers, almost caucasian, a gorgeous blueish-black pompadour, and orange beak with a small "x" marking on the tip.

His main clothes include a red tank top, blue suspenders, and a necklace with a triangular amulet in green and white.

Besides of being character of this series, is also, in this universe, character from the series that carries his own name. A kind of a motto of the latter is: "He's gonna rise like a pheonix. Because he's... Pomp Phoenix."

Relations

At the episode "Summer Day", he's in Long Island recording for the second season of his own series, together with another actress. At this scene, both of them run after each other on the beach. The scene happens in front of a juice shack, where Jack, as he's entering, comments to his friends that he loves the series and that "the second season is gonna rock!".

At the episode "Pomp Men", Jack and Mae watch together to the release of the episode mentioned above. The next day, as a surprise, Mae takes Jack to ThermoCon, where he can be closer to his hero.

Trivia

• Pomp Phoenix is freely (and obviously, well duh, how could it not be?) based on the character Space Dandy, from the anime of same name. That includes the color of the clothes, the amulet-necklace, the pompadour and the "x" marking, that here is on the beak and in the anime is on the chin of the character.


• "Pomp" is like a title, and Phoenix can be considered the actual name of the character. The same happens with Space Dandy, whose name is Dandy.


• The fact that Jack loves this series corresponds to the author's love to the mentioned anime, seen that it poses as a great inspiration in specific scenes, animation styles and in the story direction as a whole.


💥 IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE ANIME, SPOILERS AHEAD, WATCH OUT! 💥
The choice of a phoenix to Pomp Phoenix corresponds to what happens to Dandy, that is the only one who can freely pass between different dimensions and keep being himself. In this case, the phoenix always rises from the ashes, that is, never dies, which is similar, somehow.
• Even the episode recorded in "Summer Day" is a nod to a real episode of the anime, including the bit: "Another couple chasing each other down the beach... How romantic!" And actually, the female character wants to get rid of the protagonist. This is one of the author's favorite episodes, but the end is all tears, baby. :')
