I tried tweaking the reduction various ways so the linework would be more visible.







(There are also PNGs corresponding to the JPGs if anyone wants to edit them further, just change 'jpg' to 'png'.)

Maybe Surma accidentally burned down part of the forest one time when she was but a wee lass. :(

She watched way too much of the X-Men cartoon back in the 90s.

Annie has gone super saiyan. This is the point where Gunnerkrigg turns into a fighting manga, isn't it.

I thought Blue just missed the forest and regrets coming to the Court. Seeing all these people showing off makes her homesick. Maybe there's more to it but that's what I'm thinking for now.

I assumed Blue doesn't have any tricks and feels ashamed that a (more or less) human can upstage her.

Those other theories make sense too.

I thought it could be that, then I remembered the guy showing Annie his waterfall. Wouldn't a water spirit have that same prejudice?

Oh wow, I (somehow) didn't notice the phoenix/firebird shape above Annie in the 2nd to last panel on my first read-through. This comic continues to amaze.

Me either, I thought it might have been that but I wasn't sure.

Regarding blue not being too happy, it's because she thinks red likes Annie more than her now.

Of all theories so far that is the one I find most plausible.

But I think I like it here.
This page kind of intrigues me. Is this the only instance so far in the comic that indicates that hints that Kat may have magic powers (or however its termed in the GC universe) like her mom or Antimony?

Woo-oo!



I think it just symbolizes an epiphany she has thinking about how bird wings work--lightweight and how the joints function, etc.

She definitely has an aptitude for mechanical things, though. She built a hovercraft at age 12 or so. Whether that comes from any etheric sources, who knows, but she seems to be pretty far ahead of her classmates in that kind of thing.

No. Or rather, it's not the only instance where the comic has shown that Kat has a near supernatural aptitude for engineering. Wheter it's magic or genius is yet to be explained.

I think it might extend from "mechanical things" to "knowing how poo poo works" at first sight.
