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)
I believe Zimmy only hit a mental image of Anthony, there's no way a man who defeated Eglamore (in the Surma field) would let himself be bitch-slapped like that... in other words, I don't know.

Here's to the new us.

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.

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.

Tom has already said that the next chapter is going to have Coyote in it, and Coyote chapters tend to be part-Annie chapters. So here's hoping we get some answers or at least clues to these three.

quote:

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.

I think headpigeon was just how Zimmy perceives Kat's thoughts, influenced by Kat's whole ornithophilia. I don't think it has anything to do with anything else in the grand scheme of things. Terrifying mechanical angel is obviously Kat's final form since she's clearly the ultimate villain of GC.

That... might not be unreasonable.

What with the whole reactivation/resurrection of the older model, with a large audience no less, Kat might be established in the "minds" of the robots as a being with the power of life and death over them. An angel, as it were. And maybe if enough of them start believing it, it becomes true.

Of course that's wild speculation and most likely not true, but it's an interesting idea nonetheless.

Gamma says something like "Silly" or "Dumb" to Zimmy, and Annie says "That's not very nice."

The Lord of Hats
Aug 22, 2010

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?

That last panel is one of my favorites in Gunnerkrigg Court, just because of how expressive Muut's body language is. I feel like Muut is generally one of the less stylized characters in GC, and something about that just makes the whole panel really visually pleasing. Also, because of the relative realism of the body, if you just look at it you can really imagine Muut just as a human, which really makes the fact that he has an owl head stand out more.
