The difference between confinement and rest is a shift in perspective

Reynardine is probably going to have to go into the forest and save her, though. Likely facing the temptation of getting his old body back, choosing between the horde of manipulative assholes and Coyote.

So choosing between a horde of manipulative assholes and a singular manipulative rear end in a top hat?

At least with Coyote you know he's a manipulative rear end in a top hat. The enemy you know and all that.

But he can't do anything without Annie's permission right? So there's not really a temptation thing. Although she may give him a choice.

This is probably going to come off as perplexing for Kat and the rest.

Annie: I'm going to go get some homework done.

*Hour later*

Elgamore: Annie just tried to kill me and ran into the forest.

Of course, Reynardine is there to fill in the gaps, but still, it's going to come off as mostly out-of-the-blue.

That was some loving homework.

There is a thread in the official Gunnerkrigg forums with a similar "photoshop boxbot into things" theme. Not as good as the examples here but there are good ones.

I just finished my second read of the comic, and was once again really sad when I couldn't press the next button anymore. :( I think it was at least as good on a second read, by the way. He set the stage for so many of the story arcs so far in advance.

Have we had any clues as to how Ysengrim's body got so messed up?

Something tells me that it's going to be something tragic, like he saved Renard's life, and neither Renard or Coyote give a poo poo.

You try sealing yourself up in a wooden suit for days or weeks at a time.

His body has just atrophied from lack of use, to the point where he needs to use his tree powers to get around at all.

2. Oh, wait, he's weak underneath that wood body too. He has no tolerance for himself.

That doesn't explain why Ys is missing an ear.

I'm under the impression that the tree-body came after his real body got FUBARed.

Then it's the wrong impression. Everything wrong with Ysengrin from the neck down is from atrophy.

The missing ear was probably just happenstance. I doubt he was much less of a moody bastard before Coyote fixed him up.

I'm gonna guess Ysengrin's self-loathing wouldn't be so potently fueled if he got his tree body from a noble act like saving anyone's life. He probably just asked for a better body because he felt the wolf body wasn't strong enough, and Coyote being Coyote gave him the double-edged sword tree suit thing. (I forget if this much has been said earlier/in the comic, I haven't been through the archives in ages)

Dude, think about it. Ysengrin would go down, but he would take a small battalion of motherfuckers with him! :hist101:

Ysengrin vs. Eglamore. Eglamore gets the upper hand. Annie gets in the way and threatens Eggie with immolation, Ysengrin becomes a party member. Er... friend.

Eglamore is a nice guy, he just wants to protect his friends. Also Kat probably still has a crush on him. Why are you so mean to Eglamore?

Also Ysengrin is an unhinged dude who literally tried his very hardest to murder Annie (for disrespecting Coyote) previously, and is only not doing so now on orders from Coyote. He is not the good guy.

Interesting "How do you guys pronounce Jeanne?" follow up question:
How are you guys pronouncing Ysengrin?

In my head, I pronounce it Yes-en-grin. yeh-Sen-grin.

Not saying anyone is wrong or right, I just want to know if I'm in the majority.

I pronounce it "jean," as in the denim pants. Although like half the time I pronounce "jee-anne."

"yih-sen-grin." The yih and sen are run together quickly, with emphasis on "sen." Like if it were written Y'sengrin, because it seems like there ought to be a vowel there.
