Mr.Radar posted:Tom has started answering questions in his Formspring again, and he actually has a few answers for what the heck is going on with the current page (spoilered in case you don't want to know): Man, that really makes me want to go through and look at all the pages with both Kat and Zimmy on them, just to imagine what it looked like to Zimmy. EDIT: Wow, Zimmy really has had that problem with Kat from the beginning: http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=189 The Lord of Hats fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Jun 14, 2012 |

Electric Pope posted:That was the current page when I started reading it. Caught up 1 page later, of course. The first friend I got into it ended up catching up during Fire Spike. My mother started reading GC as this chapter was starting up. At this point she's on chapter 33 or so and is deliberately avoiding catching up any more quickly.

So does that mean that during the Power Station chapter when Annie got caught in the ZIMMY ZONE she created the fake Kat? You'd think if Zimmy's wonked up subconcious created her she'd have looked more like the most recent page. Unless Zimmy seeing her this way is a new thing or she still looked like that to Zimmy but not Annie. Reality bending hallucinatiooooooooons

Reality bending hallucinatiooooooooons The fake Kat during the power station 'alt world' section was created by Annie, not Zimmy. Zimmy instantly knew it was fake, even without Gamma's help, but didn't tell Annie. Annie only realized when Gamma dispelled Kat.

In the past I was curious as to what Ketrak looked like, but kind of preferred that he was unseen since you never know when something will live up to what you've got in your imagination. Now that Tom has done this image of Kat, I really want to see Ketrak now.

If Tom made a print of this latest page, it'd be awesome if it were a big fuckoff wallscroll of Kat's entire crazy Zimmy-brain body, including parts you can't see in this frame.

And update. Quite makes me want to see a chapter about Gamma someday. Can't help but notice that Zimmy didn't seem terribly shaken up by Kat the first time they met.

Eh. Zimmy is kind of a dick to everyone, so she might have just been staying true to form.

ATP_Power posted:She doesn't have a headband, maybe that has something to do with it? I think it's because she's right next to Gamma in that panel, and that's negating Zimmyvision for a while (though Tom's formspring answer made it sound like while Gamma being there always *helps* Zimmy, it doesn't always turn Zimmyvision off). Also, I reread Gunnerkrigg Court yesterday (a wonderful trap to fall into), and the structure of Dobranoc, Gamma really struck me for the first time. There's a lot more to it than I thought.

I'm thinking that this update meant more that Kat was imagining the whole event, playing into some fear about Annie getting sick or dying, more likely I'm dead wrong and the fade-out at the end was just signalling the end of the chapter.

I think it's possible that this was all happening in Kat's head, but that doesn't necessarily mean she was only imagining it.

So if Zimmy saw Kat as a terrifying monster... what's with the pidgeon?

DekeThornton posted:On some other forum someone speculated that Zimmy's perception of Kat got increasingly distorted the longer she was away from Gamma. That makes sense to me. Which means that, since the headpidgeon spoke what Kat was actually thinking, Zimmyvision might get closer to the truth the more powerful it gets. I wonder if other people look really weird when viewed through full on Zimmyvision?

I think it's ok for the early Zimmy stuff to not line up perfectly with what's happening now; that was a long-rear end time ago and the comic has evolved a lot since then. No need to go crazy in-depth to make sure everything was foreshadowed 7 years ago. Still, I love the idea that Kat has always looked like a horrible mechanocherub to Zimmy, she just doesn't care most of the time (probably because Gamma is around). It'd be great to see those pages redrawn in Zimmyvision. Speaking of Gamma, good for her. Somebody needed to get rid of that thing (she wants it for herself (or for Zimmy)).

Apart from the stop-and-go nature of her visions, I kind of get the feeling that Zimmy also sees stuff like this all the time. "Oh, Eglamore, you mean the twenty-foot tall feral rabbit?"

"You can't always run from what scares ya." And Zimmy suddenly jumps towards the top of my list of favorite characters in Gunnerkrigg Court.

So Amazon have cancelled my Gunnerkrigg Volume 2 order (unable to fulfill the order...), is there anyway to order that book without paying ridiculous markups?
