"But I feel fine now!" she said, looking at her third hand.

I'm hoping the final page will be similar to the Jones, "It appears I am wearing a party hat now," page and have Anthony very stoically realizing he has a black eye.

"Suddenly I am wearing a shiner."

After all, being like her mother founds a lot of the expectations the people she meets places on her, from Eglamore, to her father, to even Coyote. It's only Kat, who has never met her mother, that is free from that.

City Face... is actually probably pretty grown up by this point, but he didn't appear in the chapter. Headpigeon was a manifestation of Kat's thoughts that Zimmy could see.

The lipstick and eye shadow that Annie typically wears. They look weird because they're weird colors.

OH. I also just realized Annie is completely without makeup whenever she's in ethereal mode, or however you call it when she projects herself.

I enjoy this comic immensely, but I can't help but feel that sometimes it just does a major cop-out in an attempt to keep the mysteries going. Exactly the panel of Coyote rolling about laughing with the "it doesn't answer anything", except not as a parody but as a modus operandi.

Nah, it's pretty overtly the case. That particular Coyote panel is actually Tom mocking us. Laffin'.

Hopefully this is the beginning of a terrible makeup-less Annie.

Dunno, could still be Annie. Given how she was all amused at Kat with the pidgeon on her head earlier. Tom may not have shown how Annie really appears. If Kat is the Machine God, what would Annie with her Fire Elemental essence and her participation in events that are going to lead to a big upset of the status quo mean for her appearance.

I feel like Annie declining to put on her makeup could mark a significant character development, though if that's the case I'm not really sure what triggered it.

The way he truly is.
Have you guys honestly never seen makeup before? Lipstick and a brushpad-thingy like that are pretty stereotypical components of "makeup things women use" in most media.

I will admit that Annie's use of makeup is pretty subtle these days; based on art, that is, so missing that she wasn't wearin it is plausible. I assume that football-head Annie used the same amount, it was just more obvious when her head was roughly the size of her torso.

I assume most bewildered people are young fellows who haven't lived with a woman yet as they have these things lying about just nearly everywhere. The items themselves are drawn properly.

Overall, it's a great page. Annie will probably keep using makeup as always, but at least it's not her immediate thought after all that happened. If it was a defensive mechanism, it is no longer seen as one.

Hey Tom, does Zimmy actually speak Polish, or is there an understanding beyond language going on between her and Gamma, there? If it's a mystery, wink twice and say nothing.

Lets see, list of questions raised:

1. Big Bone Tower leading to Anthony, what the gently caress? Is this a recent thing that caused Annie to collapse? Or has it always been there and only recently got bad. What is it meant to do? (the imagery suggests it suppresses Annie's "fire") And why is Anthony doing it? (he is a bad father)

2. The mask, less of a question, but very open to interpretation. Heavily implied to be that mask of stoicism Annie always hides behind, but also includes the secrets she keeps from others (eg: homework stealing). Probably tied to the make-up thing also acting as a kind of protection against Annie's own emotions.

3. Head Pigeons? Terrifying Mechanical Angel? Kat's got something going on. I'm lumping these two together because I feel like they're related somehow. Kat's got a lot of bird imagery going on, anyway.

4. Also we know next to nothing about Annie's adventures in the Woods. Apparently there was a green guy? (once you go green, you never... uh...) Annie apparently mentioned him, but she's kept secrets from Kat before.

I think it fits, though. We've spent a lot of time finding out about Jeanne's past, and about Annie's parents are/were like. Time to add some new elements to draw us forward. Most important being that Kat's got some greater power behind her as well.
