Wow, Annie, always slacking off on responsibilities. I wonder who Kat was going to look up, though. Maybe she was gonna solve some historical mysteries.

I feel like this was a really sudden shift, as though there's a page missing between this one and the previous. There's some serious emotional whiplash between the end of Wednesday's strip and the start of this one.

Hmm, Annie's blank expression in the fourth panel, combined with her formal speech suggests to me she's in emotional lockdown again. That's not healthy, she really needs an outlet. Maybe another trip to Fun City would help? Torch some fools then offer to help them, it certainly seemed to put her in a good mood last time.

"I really wish I had an X" is the present tense, meaning that someone wishes they possessed an X at the current time. Given what X is in this case, that's kind of weird.

Why not paste the whole classical poem, then, instead of a modern thing that's not even a working story and a riddle.

Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo. Past this point I could keep going forever if I wanted and I'd still have a valid sentence as long as the number of words was odd.
