I mean, tons of humans are born to parents who hate each other. Also there was the time someone said to Annie, "When you have a child" and Tom's note below the comic was "when."

tony did a lot of things wrong imo mostly because he's a ludicrous fuckup of a human being, which i find extremely relatable

Fister Roboto posted:I think it's a little weird that Tony clams up the second another person enters the scene, no matter what. I don't think that's normal social anxiety. Tony takes it to an absurdly dysfunctional extreme, but fear of crowds is a pretty common real thing and often manifests in that kind of way, and "crowd" can be anything from a house party to "forced to make small talk with three people I don't know". The problem is it's like if Ysengrin's deal wasn't anything to do with Coyote or his terror of being weak it's just he has abnormally bad ADHD. That'd fit the dictionary definition of "an explanation", but it wouldn't really leave you satisfied the story was moving forward or wanting to know more about fuckin' Ysengrin, and how he got his tree body when he bought it at the store for $7.99. Potato Salad posted:It's a little weird to see so many people not look at this story at a higher level of abstraction, like from the perspective of the storyteller. I can't be the only one with high school level reading comprehension and capacity to analyze why a story is structured the way it is. this is a pretty pompous dig to follow a barely highschool level reading of events that entirely misses the point, guy A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 06:20 on Nov 4, 2017 |

Tony's mom was a water elemental and his dad was from Afghanistan, so that's why he's always such a wet blanket.

It does seem odd that all 3 of Annie's theoretical grandparents have been completely absent from the story.

Tony is a paranoid android and that's why he has no parents and gets along with Kat.

Tony met his his parents shortly after he was born. Both of them, at the same time. He's never been able to unwind around them since.

The Stone, Part II - The exact same chapter but shifted a bit to the left, showing Tony was also there the entire time. There are occasional missing panels after alcohol is invented though.

For all Kat talked up about hating Tony, she never experienced any firsthand events that would make somebody feel actual you-feel-it-in-your-gut hate at a person. And if that person shows up and starts being personable, you can find yourself actually revising your opinion of that person! It's a thing bad people do to take advantage of others, yes, but that requires a level of social-fu that we know Tony Simply Does Not Have. It's not really surprising Kat turned around on him, he's a legit guy to hang around on when he's not being super awkward, and Kat has zero idea of his worse transgressions either. I'm pretty sure whatever Annie said about it was heavily glossed over because she was never particularly willing to shittalk her dad.

I like how expressive Anja is in this page. Visually her eyes are kind of like a second set of eyebrows, but instead of being creepy it works.

The other thing about Kat is that she's super passionate about science, to the degree where sometimes it's kind of a blind spot for her. When she has someone to geek out with, it'll warm her up to them faster than anything else. I'm sure at first she caught herself thinking "wait, I hate this guy", but Tony as far as we know is a talented researcher, so she probably got caught up in the excitement of working with him.
