Annie's expression basically mirrors the one I've had for this whole chapter. Jones is old as balls.

Between this page, Obama winning the election, and Puerto Rico maybe becoming the 51st state, this has been an amazing night

Seriously though, this was such a slow buildup to a joke that I completely didn't see it coming. Utterly great punchline with the Wikipedia linking in the comments these last few weeks.

I admit to being disappointed, simply because we are left to only imagine the accretion disc, when I firmly believe the art for it would have been amazing

"And that's when somebody told me this story and I made the exact same face you are now. I think my facial muscles snapped or something, because my face has been like this ever since. G'night kid. Sweet dreams."

Another great page. Also, I glanced over the wiki since it was linked, and laughed when I saw "Sir James 'Jimmy Jims' Eglamore" in the characters section.

I've had no idea what to say these last few pages (except that the art is beautiful, as ever) and this last one was just amazing. Annie's face is just perfect.

This page is amazing, as the whole chapter has been, but I have to nitpick a bit here. What's with the line around Annie's neck? Does her necklace loop twice?

Does this mean Jones has been telling everything we've seen to Annie "Well, I hung out with James a lot when he was younger. Way younger. Also I introduced him to Donald. And I also brought him to the school when he started...a rich dude I was a nanny for gave me his inheritance for when he was gone...got kicked out for 'witchcraft'...helped kill some buffalo...just kinda relaxed in lava for a while..."

Heliotrope posted:Does this mean Jones has been telling everything we've seen to Annie My assumption was that she gave her a far more succinct version while we were treated to this fantastical journey through time. 'Show don't tell' was perfect in this case.

Jones also seems less like the telling type. Also, here's another that punchline comment, because that was everything wonderful.

Heliotrope posted:Does this mean Jones has been telling everything we've seen to Annie It could kinda have went like this:  What are you. An advisor. The court asks for my input on certain questions, such as who should be the next medium. No, I mean, besides your job! I'm a friend of James. Not what... Wait, what's up with that, by the way? How, we have been hanging out for a while. Used to watch the rogat orjak when he was younger. But why is he hanging out with you? Well he hasn't had much choice since your mother ditched him. How long have you known him exactly? Since he was a little kid. I introduced him to Donald; and earlier I recruited him for the Court. You've said you weren't there when the Court was founded, so what did you do before working at the Court? I worked previously in a filling factory. This is where I got my current name. And long before that? I was a wealthy heiress, but my longevity made people believe I was an impersonator, so I had to leave all that behind me. A heiress? Who were your parents? Not parent, no. An old man who loved me and pretended I was his daughter. Why? I was his nurse when he was a child. And even long before that? I wandered the Earth. I was on one of the pilgrim boats to Jamestown, for example.<stopping there because I met the smiley limits> It's indeed much better with only pretty pictures and no text.
