The utmost key to a good strong and lasting friendship is of course your hair.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Don't be ridiculous, the Irish are a myth conjured up by parents to make you eat your vegetables and keep quiet at night.

An aura of mystery is one thing. Unexplained things that characters keep asking about but that never get explained to the reader are super annoying. (Have we forgotten Lost already?)

Besides, messing with your readers is the godgiven right of a webcomic artist.

Pretty much yes, but when you compare GC to tv series like Lost (I gave up after two seasons), it actually gives you answers regularly*, but still keeps up the tension.

And that's why I love it.

*) Seriously, read some early chapters and you know what those cryptic ideas mean.

Zany Annie is a clone Coyote grew while she was in the forest. Jones is future Antimony sent back by mad scientist Kat to correct the timeline. And she has to carry lots of rocks in her pockets to keep from floating away into the Timelash.

The other problem with Lost is that it existed in a world that could be mistaken for ours.

Seriously, the Court is in a world where people can teleport. Girls take mag lev trains to get a haircut without leaving the school. To get around, they use clockwork horses. There is a literal god that people just chill with from time to time. A merostomatazon named Lindsey who contains no fewer than 15 not eyes makes sure the girls' dorms don't spring a leak.

If you really have a problem with a woman with some unexplained abilities, you may want to consider another comic.

Annie will make Kat fly, which will be just bird-like enough for Kat to develop a crush on herself.

It's just a focus shift onto Annie. The previous strip does the same thing. I think it's a neat effect!

Flash forward ten years, and Kat and Annie are going to stand on the bridge over the river and fight to the death, and Kat will remember her line "I don't want to kill you", it will be very sad.

I didn't really read it as worry, more as initial surprise at the attitude shift from the previously straight-laced Annie and then concern for her friend ("oh right, her mum's dead and her father might as well be").

Well it goes back to the last treatise, Annie of the forest and Kat of the court.
They're united by love, but there is a sword in the heart. :ohdear:

Looking back at the treatise, it is interesting that Renard is on Kat/the Court's side.
