Holy poo poo. And they grow when you plant them in the ground and everything. Holy poo poo.

Even if what Kat is growing isn't a Tic-Toc, the S-series guys are still going to flip their loving cores because guess what? Kat is essentially making a seed bismuth.

I love this goddamn comic.

I don't think the Tic-Tocs do grow in the ground. Pretty sure Ysengrin was lying about that since Red mentioned he came by a little bit after Annie left and killed her and that blue jabrony that was with her instead of showing up a few months later like he said.

You misunderstood this revelation. It's not that the Tic-Toc didn't grow, it's that Ysengrin deliberately left it to grow so they'd have something to be angry about.

Hmm, guess I missed the bit about him burying it. Here's Ysengrin lying and here's Red saying what he did. Wonder wtf that was about then.

Also I smirked cause a few pages before that Red mentioned that fish guy.

Well, for one thing he's kind of going crazy, but there's no telling how many memories of his Coyote's taken. Maybe that's contributing to his craziness as well.

Reynardine is drat lucky he's bound to Annie.

drat is this comic ever great, hadn't even thought about Coyote doing that. There's so much going on and so many callbacks and such that I suspect Tom's notes for the story are just plastered on the walls of a room with a web of yarn pinned up connecting various plot points and details :tinfoil:

Coyote obviously thinks differently of Ysengrin and Reynardine, seeing as Coyote saved Reynardine's body in stasis but has no issue with letting Ysengrin's rot away.

Renard is a fellow trickster. Ysengrin is a pompous buffoon who falls in every single trap you might lay for him.


There's no fun in making a fool of Ysengrin because he's already a fool. Making a fool of a clever fox like Renard, on the other hand, is much more rewarding. Remember how Coyote said that Renard declined all of Coyote's gift, until his infatuation with Surma clouded his judgment?

Ysengrin has been having his memories tampered with by Coyote and becoming more and more unstable as a result. Even the court thinks that he used to be sane, if aggressive.

:( I like Ysengrin.

I'm not saying he doesn't have his good points these days and what Coyote is doing to him now is still reprehensible.

However, he was still kind of a dick, way back before Coyote even came to the forest.

At this point it would probably be a blessing.

e: Ysengrin almost seems like a senility/alzheimer's analogue, complete with random mood swings. One wonders if he regained his "sanity" (which is to say, all of those memories that Coyote's yanked out of his head), if he would choose to continue on or just off himself at the realization of how unlike himself he's become. :smith:

This. Just when Ysengrin starts showing that he can be a good guy, Tom drops this on us. I don't think I could stop reading if I tried.

They're going to draw program instructions on the walls, turning the building into an impromptu robot heart and waking the original, giant, court-spanning version of Robox from his centuries of slumber. All will love him and despair.
