EDIT: ^^^ you're right, I guess the last chapter happened during a day off school since they weren't in uniform ^^^

This is finally the chapter where Kat gets to do some hacking! Accompanied by the universal handsign for hacking.

I wonder if this chapter will run a while "during" the events in the previous, and then will jump to "the test" ? I just hope fun times will be had by all.

I've been wondering lately if Paz and others are being "recruited" to the main group with the goal of dealing with Jeanne. I suspect it's gonna be a complex plan and everyone's special abilities will be needed somehow. Uh, in case someone has to convince non-talking animals to do something.

Paz could always just be the Aqua-Man of the group! That's gotta count for something, right?

Paz already has Aquaman beat, since she can also talk to land animals.

I hope a Tik-Tok bird has a spot in this story arc; they seem like they're already a manifestation of machines growing like meat; maybe Paz and Kat can reverse-engineer one together.

I'm just glad to see the workshop again. I think the last time we were here was when the S bots inscribed it with the mark of the creator, and that's been several chapters ago. I wonder what Kat's been up to since then.

If Paz can become super strong, bullet-proof and become able to breathe underwater that'd be pretty sweet. Is it worth the trade off of basically becoming a joke forever? Who can say.

As of page two of Chapter 43, Annie did not know. Though who knows if she still doesn't?

Tom has also said that she doesn't know.

She might have figured it out by now, but I doubt it considering how she's demonstrated her lack of understanding a few times now.

She made a reference to Kat's old thing for Eglamore last chapter, I think she's at least somewhat aware.

Her unawareness is precisely why she made that reference. It's likely that Kat herself told her about this Eglamore character you mention (who we have yet to see).

I'd take that as a sign that she's remaining completely oblivious. That wasn't her way of making a knowing joke, that was just Annie being lovably dumb about anything having to do with relationships.

Which is why Annie yet again smoothly exited stage left when she realized she had completely put her foot in her mouth when Kat was dumbfounded why she would bring that up.

So is this after the last chapter, or concurrent to it? Is the Annie medium stuff the liar wasp and monster fighting and this is what they did while behind, or is this after all that?

Not really certain, but signs point to this happening later. Previous chapter starts with Kat and Paz in casual clothes about to play a game, and ends with Annie coming back and them still playing a game. Now they're in their school uniforms and in Kat's warehouse which is a train ride away from the residential areas, probably. Unless they changed clothes and left to go to the lab mid-day and then came back and changed back to their after school clothes for some reason, it wouldn't make sense to have this happen on the same day.

Or we could consider that the end of chapter skits are plausable, but mostly non-canonical, and are purely there to be funny.

The after chapter pages may not be strictly canon in the sense that they're going to be vitally important to the plot later on, but I'm pretty sure they're canon enough that nothing has ever blatantly contradicted them, at least as far as I can recall. Really obvious silly vacation week things like City Face aside, of course.

City Face is canon ever since he appeared in the main comic. :colbert:

Well, City Face is well into adulthood by now, so if it hasn't happened yet, it's going to soon.

Is this the first time we've seen thought balloons? We've had some narration from Annie (especially in earlier chapters), but I don't recall seeing directly what somebody's thinking before. Guess it's time to re-read the archives and find out!

No, Kat. She is trying to share your interests. That's what good girlfriends and boyfriends do. Going all awkward and worrisome is the opposite of what you should be doing. Stop, Kat. Be cool.
