Terlawk

Terlawk is Earthworm Jim's hometown in the Earthworm Jim animated series. Terlawk is seen in almost every episode, since Jim has his headquarters there, which is also frequented by Jim's sidekicks Snott and Peter Puppy. Their hideout is next to an insane old woman named Mrs. Bleverage, whose tolerance to Jim and co. is very thin, and who may actually be a spy for Queen Slug-for-a-Butt.

It is unclear whether Terlawk is a location on Earth, or is a location on another planet, or a planet unto itself. For the most part, Terlawk appears similar to suburban America, with a sizable ordinary human population, of course apart from Jim and his friends. When looking for Earthworm Jim's hideout in Terlawk, Evil the Cat has a very bad time in Terlawk during the pilot episode; getting melted, turned into sausages, and blasted into space during his first day in the suburbia.

Notes

• The name of Terlawk was inspired by Douglas TenNapel's birthplace in California.
• There is no mention of Terlawk in the video games. Earthworm Jim's hometown according the manuals of the first game was New Junk City, the first level in the game. It is also implied that New Junk City is Jim's hometown in the comic book mini-series. It is also directly stated in the cartoon-like opening prologue of Earthworm Jim HD, which makes it clear that New Junk City is also where the super suit first fell from space, and Jim first got into it.
