Splicer posted:I was thinking this myself, but I'm fairly sure indestructible non-matter can't be rendered radioactive. She'd just need a good shower and a lung-scrub. I'm fairly certain that turning any part of Jones into a radioactive isotope wound count as "marking or damaging".

Tom just tweeted that he will be putting Annie In The Forest Part 2 up on the site on Monday. Also:Gunnerkrigg Twitter posted:I'd like to do Paz's story next, yeah. I've been slow getting to it due to moving. Just thought you'd all like to know! Personally I'd love to see more small side stories like Annie in the Forest.

I'm really looking forward to reading about Paz cause for some reason she still sort of feels like an outside character yknow.

Man that last line hit pretty hard. I wonder if the slight sympathetic (?) look on Jones is intentional, or just reading into things.Parts Kit posted:Oh ok and then she pulls him off and that's where the bed sheet look comes from. I get it now. Oh god, that just makes me think of the bed sheet appearance being a comical cover to hide what he actually looks like after being caught up in a bombing

Thanks Internet posted:Wow, that seems pretty fast. How long was it between when part 1 was first available in print and online? Can't complain about more content though! Yeah, I was originally thinking of buying the comics since I enjoy having a paper copy and I wouldn't mind supporting Tom, but I can't really justify the shipping costs to Canada, especially if only one of them is in stock and I can't at least order them both at the same time to ship together.

Battle Pigeon posted:Man that last line hit pretty hard. I wonder if the slight sympathetic (?) look on Jones is intentional, or just reading into things. Trying to ascribe emotions to Jones is like our human propensity to see faces in inanimate objects. We want her to be sympathetic for Mort's plight so we project it onto her face.

Breathing seems to just be for the purpose of talking or fitting in better with humans for Jones. She hung out in lava and under the sea for thousands of years. She could probably just wash her lungs out at the same time as the rest of her.

The way she instantly thought of Kat was so sweet  Also I really like elf fashion. They seem like cool dudes to hang out with. Much more pleasant than certain other jabronis, anyway.

Shieldhill posted:Hey! After reading Part 2, going back to Chapter 34 after that sheds new light on Annie and Jack's interactions. Chibisoma was right the whole time!  Between the current chapter in the main comic and Mort popping up under "Boys I Know," I'm sadly remembering this whole fiasco. I hope this chapter calls back to his little crush on her one last time.

Chronojam posted:It's a high-brow attempt to tell you this machine killed this little boy without actually drawing fire and smoke. It also illustrates the incomprehensible cruelty of war by contrasting the fate of Mort with the blueprints of the bomb. Reality breaks down, as if the bomb is trying to explain its own origin and nature to justify what it has done.

The flash of a burning cigarette and then there was nothing  Tom you magnificent bastard. Even when taking the diplomatic path to the graphic interpretation of killing off someone we already knew was dead, you knew your limitations and ask for expert advice. Someone in GiP or TFR might know. That said, kudos to you. edit: oh, and I see that page as a way of showing the way Mortimer died without any gore. Plates and fins and fuses and ports were carefully designed and then Mort died. CannonFodder fucked around with this message at 09:23 on Mar 17, 2014 |

It also specifically shows the way that Mort's death was mediated by technology! Because the relationship between technology, life, and death is kind of a thing in Gunnerkrigg Court.

The out of place militaria is really jarring and almost insultingly meaningless, and therefore I think makes this update quite meaningful and powerful. Pretty good cartooning!
