I think I might have to upgrade my Katvatar because that face in panel 4 is amazingly :3:

A wonderful and heartwarming chapter end, thank you Tom!

Next chapter will probably have nothing to do with it, but still.

I'm okay with this. Tom is good with offscreen character development, and I don't know if "awkward teen romance" is something that's going to get chapters devoted to it in the foreground. I'm sure we'll get snippets and comments here and there with Kat talking to Annie or Annie talking to Rey or Robot about how they're doing.

I'd almost be more worried if it does get screentime :ohdear:

Incidentally, people on the website that shan't be named are going insane with rage over this. It kind of reminds me of when they made the new Ultimate Spider-man black/hispanic.

Loaded the page, read it quickly, fistpump. Realized I did a fistpump for the happy resolution of two fictional girls in a possibly horribly awkward moment.

Fistpump'd again. No shame :3:

I'm not entirely sure Annie is the right person to ask for advice on romantic matters.
At least once she was surprisingly insightful once she got what was going on.
Also, at least for this one day, we have confirmation that Gunnerkrigg is located in the best of all possible worlds.

We'll of course. You don't just tell everyone you've gone to a floating robot island together. With all the robots. except Boxbot.

I'm just so glad that both get to be happy. Just look at me, a 30 year old so emotionally invested in webcomic characters. Siddell this is all your fault! :cripes:


The only thing left is to sit back and search for some angry comments to laugh at. Maybe Draw? Do some drawing?

There aren't enough :3: in the world. So glad I was wrong in my attempts at treatise sooth-saying. When I saw the large-ish number of new posts, I went to open the comic so frantically that I accidentally opened the wrong comic.

I too am emotionally invested in the relationships of fictional teenage girls.

I'm really glad to have my initial predictions proven wrong. We'll see where this ends up but for now it's a really sweet turn of events and I'd rather enjoy the :3: than wonder how this might turn :smith: in later chapters.

So we should get the bonus comic now, right? We could go back to Annie, Smitty Smits and Parley, but we actually might finally see the full love letter. It must've had some references to the animal pens which is why Kat suspected it had to be from Bobby first.

Speaking of Robots, what if Boxbot can actually combine with Robox to form... the most average robot? It has arms and legs and all, but nobody seems to have good or bad opinions about it. It would clearly be named Boxbox.

edit: durr, it's actually in ursine asylum's avatar. I am the dumb.

I was so sure this would turn out okay, and it did! It just didn't have bad vibes around it, especially after being reminded of what happened during the Zimmy in Annie's psyche chapter. Tom's also been on a bit of a straightforward streak lately I feel, so I'm sure we'll have more mysteries and conundrums introduced soon enough.

As for Annie's reaction, I think she's going to be super-pumped. She might be briefly confused that its Paz and not a boy, but that'll last like a panel and then straight back to being super-pumped.

Annie didn't assume it was a boy in the first place. And yeah, I can't imagine her being anything other than supportive of Kat having a relationship, for all that she's kind of a dolt when it comes to romance.

This leaves Annie the only student character without some sort of relationship or crush. She's never shown any romantic inclination at all, not counting the trick she tried to pull on Jack. I wonder if that's important. It could just be her father's influence; he looked much the same.

After all was said and done with that, she did ask him one last time if he 'wanted that kiss.'
