Tom has brought up the one good thing to come from Annie's association with the forest. The fact that she is the only one running is a little disconcerting though.

Assuming she's the second forest medium ever, then I would say she's the best.

For some reason, I can't stop seeing Antimony as mini-person dancing on Eglamore's shoulder in panel two.

Given this is my first post and all, I'd like to say that I'm grateful this thread exists. The official forums are kind of meh, and it's nice to see competent discussion of this comic. Also, the avatars are great and many.

Why? Parley & Smitty will teleport away at the most perfectly convenient moment; and Eglamore can jump across the bridge in a tenth of a second.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

I was sort of wondering about that; have we ever seen anyone cross the Annan Waters by any means other than the bridge? Is it as supernatural as Coyote's stories imply? Maybe it can stop Parley's jumps and Eglamore's actual jumps. In particular, it seems like Eglamore always goes across the bridge, even when there is reason not to - for example, when Annie blocked the bridge with fire.

That is just it, they can flee, but they aren't, meaning that this is a weird thing, deer-in-the-headlights weird. That means the forest has something weird, and Annie and Smitty decided to all up and pester it.

I imagine if you try to cross the Annan Waters without using the bridge Jeanne will not be best pleased with you.

I feel like it was more Annie's decision that Smitty's. She seems a lot more okay with this situation than he does.

It's some database software that's used on a ton of websites to, well, store website data stuff, like forum posts, or the images to show on comic pages. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow you to store telescopes.

I could see Mort composing ballads about Antimony, then travelling along with her singing them and shape changing constantly to provide her with dramatic lighting. His job is to scare people, and Antimony is pretty scary.

Those gifs are amazing.

Also, the site is working fine for me, in case that's a problem people are still having.

Edit: I have an avatar now? That's kind of magical.

Almost certain they're running from a mildly amused but still terrifying Coyote. Else why would Annie be so happy?

So do you all think there would be some kind of fan backlash if Reynardine took his fox body back? We're all so used to him in his toy wolf body now that it would be a definite adjustment but I have to admit I'd love to see him as a fox.

I've actually wondered if Reynardine would actually want to do so, at this point. He'd directly lose a lot of court access, since even though a lot of mid-ranking people are comfortable with him now (Anja/Donny/Eglamore/Jones), the Headmaster certainly wouldn't be, and he's willing to go to some pretty crazy lengths for whatever his Long Game is.

More silly as a reason: It's possible the reason he can shapeshift at all right now is because his body has no bones. Going back to being a Bones McGee might make him think twice. Remember, Annie's lockpicks are one of his sets of claws. I wonder if she could kit him out..

Keep in mind that this is the fanbase that has watched Robot go through three different bodies, with a fourth one to come.

What happens with the fox body seems rather a major thing, though; I don't know when Tom will feel right dealing with it. It isn't really about the body itself so much as Rey's relationship with the forest, and with Annie, and those are all big weighty plot elements that aren't likely to get resolved simply.

When I join the GC avatar club, I think I'll pick Paz because I never see Paz avatars, and she's super cool. I think I saw a couple in the avatar repository, but nothing noteworthy. I can't get access to international credit cards too often so I'm not in a hurry however.
