Maybe Jones has some kind of connection to the Venus of Willendorf. The cultural significance of the carving is unknown. Was the woman a deity? A totemic reminder to hunters of their beloved? A fertility symbol? A good luck charm? Whatever the true purpose, Jones' current time period matches up to the estimated age of the statuette. Between the title of the chapter, hints we've seen about Jones' stone-like qualities, and Coyote's theory about gods, some kind of link to the carving would certainly fit. Of course, watch my theory get shot down tomorrow when the next panels show Jones riding a T. rex across the plains.

Maybe Jones was born from the Ether, but the Ether isn't connected to time and space in a way we understand so Jones was spat out millions of years before the memories/emotions/whatever that inspired her actually happened.

So I guess "pre-human" is a bit of an understatement. Is she meant to be waking up for the first time in this scene, I wonder?

Man, it goes back even farther than I thought it would. Jones isn't just old, she's ooooooooollld. And it raises the question of why something human-like has shown up waaaaaayyy before humans ever did.

Did someone already throw out something about time travel, because now that's probably my guess. I know it'll be something crazier than that but I don't know what else to think right now.

The way Jones is in the mud, she seems kind of placed there. Time travel's a stressful addition to any story, but it seems like the fairest explanation of Jones as a magical person before people existed. Maybe the Court isn't even her origin / final "destination". Maybe it's really the tiniest of blips in her mind.

Mixopterus, a member of the eurypterid genus for those who care. Not quite as cool as Anomalocaridid, but what can you do.

The real truth of the great secret is that Jones created humans so she'd be less bored and lonely.

Tom, if you're checking this thread I just want to say this chapter has been absolutely fascinating to follow and is actually kind of mind-blowing at this point. Also the art is fantastic, and I mean that in the literal sense. Seriously holy poo poo how do you do it?

If not time travel, it suggests that humans were destined to appear on earth, which is fitting given all the gods we got running around in this comic. Jones clearly anticipated humanity. Although the majority of her life was spent prior to humans existing, she's human enough to care very deeply for humans (though it does seem significant that there don't appear to have ever been any little Joneslings). I suddenly remember that Coyote told Annie to ask Jones about "the stars in the night sky." We haven't seen any night skies yet this chapter.
