Clearly what we're seeing here is that City Face is Kat's new boyfriend. I always knew things would work out for him.

Kat also appears to be aging in the artwork now. That's pretty excellent!

So about a week ago I decided to do a little mini project to flex my drawing muscles a bit. I settled on Gunnerkrigg Court, because I love the comic, and I figured I could spread the word a bit. Here are the results:



Hopefully it's obvious who's who in those pictures. :shobon: Thank you, Tom, for all your efforts.

Added these astounding pieces to the OP. I think Eglamore is my favourite, but I can't stop looking at all of them. Beautiful work.

I hope Zimmy gets on with helping Annie now. Because I find the idea of teasing someone when you can read their mind to be a bit mean spirited.

Though it's certainly in Zimmy's character.

It looks like Zimmy is talking about something else entirely (maybe the bird thing?!), though I guess we'll find out for sure on friday. Somehow I don't think the circles Zimmy runs in are concerned with the same kind of gossip.

Maybe it's more generic: Everyone has a secret head-animal that says their owner's thoughts out loud. Kat and Paz have pigeons, Annie has a little wolf cub or fox kit, Eglamore has a dragon whelp...

Nnnnope. It's gotta end with it all being a day-dream of an Autistic Kat/Annie, looking into a snowglobe of what kind of looks like Gunnerkrigg Court.

That would have been an awesome April Fools Day joke. Or a rage inducing one. One or the other.

So why did Kat mute the ECG machine? She says it's just a precaution and that Annie doesn't really need it, but if it's not important then why make such a big point of showing it to us? And having Kat say she "couldn't stand the drat noise?" I don't have any wild theories about this, it just seemed weird to mention it so prominently.

I got a wild theory! It's actually Gamma in the bed, and Kat is Zimmy and she turned off the alarm because Zimmy's crazy right? 'Zimmy and Gamma' are actually Kat and Annie and the pigeon is Eglamore.

Unlikely. It just doesn't seems to be relevant here. Might be wrong, though, given we don't know how Annie landed in that hospital bed.

e: Though now you mention it, the chapter's name is Divine, so that's maybe more likely than I thought.

And since it's my first post in this thread, I'd like to express my anger at the jerk who have a link to this fine webcomic in his avatar. I had things to do those past few days, drat you! Anyway, Am I the only who's a bit nostalgic of the very beginning, and more particularly the atmosphere? I really liked it back then, it was pretty overpowering and eerie, mixing both a pretty kiddy fear (being lost in a huge, unknown place), some seriously otherwordly setpieces, at least to me (in particular the division between the forest and the Court as it is shown in the beginning), and setting of he court itself as a huge, derelict sprawling city with no end in sight, which I like quite a lot. Now that we know a bit more about the world, it seems a bit of that ambiance is gone. On the other hand, it have been replaced by a quite awesome cast of likable characters, so no complaint from me.

So when Zimmy and Gamma communicate psychically are they just talking with each other's mind pidgeons?

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!
:doh: Oh jeez, when I first read the page I wondered why Kat had brought City Face into the hospital room with her and thought Zimmy was reading his mind. Granted, it was 5:30 in the morning and I hadn't had my coffee yet, but that still makes my mind pigeon's excellence super below average. I am the one asking which guy is Eglamore. I am the one who wonders whether The Girl In The Picture is a robot.

This reasoning is possible for forums user idonotlikepeas!
I think the pigeon is just symbolic for what's going on with Kat right at this moment, like Zimmy's eye-gunk is symbolic. Although of course symbols tend to behave in unexpected ways when Zimmy is in the vicinity. Still, I wouldn't get too hung up on it.

Also: Zimmy, disturbing the poo poo.
