No wait, I've got it, the trick is that we're not seeing the whole maze. There's a safe path to the left, just out of frame.

City Face tries really hard to do a good job! So he'll fly over the maze, but will respect the walls. It's hard to make those tight corners!

I'm re-reading the second book, and I found a page that I don't really understand. It seems like it's out of place, except it's that way on the website too.

http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=435

This is right after they discover Diego's shrine, and right before the flashback to their mother's questioning the robots too. I just don't know why this one scene is there, dealing with the classroom, when the surrounding pages are about the bots.

Gummy Bear Heaven ... It's where I go when the world is too mean.
The rest of the chapter is full of flashbacks to Kat not fitting in with the other students and the last flashback is to her meeting/befriending Annie for the first time. I don't remember the rest of the chapter, but isn't it them starting to bond? Then there's the flashback to their mothers being in the same situation, implying that the girls will continue to become closer.

I don't know if this comment in the last Cityface page is supposed to be humorous or something darker:

Message received, City Face. Decoding... No, I didn't like him either. You are right to express concern about his trustworthiness, and surprisingly, I am also intrigued by Thalassanoides ichnofacies . Congratulations on your information-dense code, best buddy!

Way in the beginning there's a scene where the other students run away from her, because they know she's the daughter of two teachers. More in the middle they call her a cheat for her grade on her paper that she got an A* on. Followed by some upper-class students mocking them in the hall. Those are several pages long. But this last one is just one page, and feels more detached than the others. Even reading it in one go, I thought I was reading a printing error because it was only one page. I guess that's just me then.

Nah, it's definitely a bit disjointed.
