Team Annie doesn't want anyone to know they have that thing though, and Jimmy Jims and Idra are standing right there. Eggers would probably insist on accompanying them in next time too, so using it is probably out. I'm wondering why can't they ask Jones to clear a path?

Tom sold out. Nah. I hope many people will buy his books.

I hope he also releases volume 6 softcover. I have 1-5 softcover, and he signed volume 1 for me at a mini con. I think he usually did the softcover at the same time as the hardcovers (just one volume behind) in the past, so now I'm waiting. EDIT: Looks like he is going to release volume 6 softcover, as it's on Previews: https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/SEP191297 IUG fucked around with this message at 13:06 on Oct 4, 2019 |

It's kind of cute they're bonding more with their dad now that there are two of them. I'm going to miss there being two Annies if they ever merge or whatever.

I enjoy the interactions between Annie and Annie a lot. I wouldn't have thought before the what she really needed was an identical twin sister but it's been pretty great. Well, I guess Court Annie is six months older so not really a twin but you get me.

Even though Forest Annie didn't perceive time passing, her hair grew, so they're the same age.

I mean, our source for "why is time stopped?" is also an unreliable narrator. Loup doesn't come with the same, "Coyote doesn't lie" stamp of approval from Jones. I don't trust Sonic-Dog, its words or its motivations. Also I'm firmly in the camp of "Two Annies is the best thing I didn't know I needed."

I can't believe the Annies are enabling their drug addict dad! Worst daughters for the worst father.

So, does it turn out that Tony can get along with both Annies quite well now, since technically neither one is his daughter? "I haven't been a terrible dad to those girls. Some other Anthonies have been. I will do my best to make those poor abused orphans feel welcome."

"I haven't been a terrible dad to those girls. Some other Anthonies have been. I will do my best to make those poor abused orphans feel welcome." I don't recall if we established that Forest Annie was also not of this timeline? If not to us, then to the world at large? I know it's a big ol' question mark at the very least, but Tony never seemed the type to just make the assumption that just because he can't be certain his hypothesis isn't true, that he'd assume it was. Of course, timeline fuckery could mean that this timeline's Tony is marginally better adjusted. It could also be he just got his hand back in no small part due to his daughter and his daughter's best friend. Might have knocked a wire back into place.

Wherever she is, it's clear Kat wants her back (and is not happy about the timelines that are now Annie-less).

If the Annie-less worlds are infinite steps down the line, they might as well not exist. In essence, Loup created them from nothing. It appears Loup knows more about time shifting than you do.

Infinities are fun. Picture a hotel with infinite rooms, all of which are occupied. An infinite number of new guests want to book rooms. No problem - the manager tells every guest to move out of their room and into the room that is double their room number. Now all the even-numbered rooms are occupied, but all the (infinitely many) odd-numbered rooms are now vacant for the new guests. By similar principles, assuming an infinite multiverse, you could give every timeline two Annies without any being vacant, because each can take Annies from another further along, infinitely.

The more interesting thing to look forward to is alt-timeline kat appearing from a portal demanding one of the annies come back with her.

Rather, I read it as "Annie herself never belonged to the time line of the comic." after all, we never visited that dude previously to have him confirm Annie belonged here.

The way I interpreted it was that the "original" Annie is still in the forest with Loup while the Annies we are currently following were plucked from other timelines for Loup's purposes (to deflect the Court's attention (while he talked the "original" Annie into staying in the forest with him) and to retrieve the artifacts with Coyote's memories).

This a classic Hilbert's Annies paradox. Loup # n grabs Annie 2n and Annie 2n+1, allowing all Loups to have 2 Annie's each. Don't worry, Kat! There aren't any Kats out there with no Annies!
