I am not human (or not close enough). I feel no emotions. Watch me deliver exactly the same crappy instinctual advice as normal humans do, also. Sure, Jones, I'm fooled alright

Good news; Jones is also incapable of noticing when a statement is dripping with sarcasm

"Jones does not get it, but also gets it" in the caption sums up her response pretty well I think.

I'm 90% sure, given the actual good advice she gives, that the "have you just tried talking to her" line is Jones' attempt at ironic humor. Clearly it's about as convincing as her smile. (Though I think Tony gets it, given his reaction.)

For Jones, it's perfect advice haha. She has no problem doing the thing, the thing needs to be done, so just do the thing. I'm assuming Tony's response is sarcastic since it's clear he desperately wants to do the thing. Tony, get yourself some nice gel pens, some nice paper, and write Annie a letter. Edit: I would say it's not terrible advice in general. A lot of people don't think to just communicate their issues, or explain their behavior. But it's not helpful for someone in Tony's situation lol. catapede fucked around with this message at 16:00 on May 3, 2021 |

I'm having difficulty communicating with my daughter : Have you tried telling her that? We used this rope to get over the wall : Just go through the wall Classic Jones, you gotta hand it to the lady.

This is unequivocally good and relevant advice. Tony should tell Annie his issues with communication. Maybe he needs to write a letter or use a proxy or something, but telling her is the correct step to take.

Yeah I mean he is capable of making word sounds with his mouth when Annie is around, he could try to express something about his issues. Or of course just write it down or send her a text or something. Although now that I think of it, GC is still pretty far back in time relative to us, I'm not even sure if they have ubiquitous cell phone usage like we're used to.

Step Two: Now that Tony is super buff he can break out of the mind cage. It's a simple matter of brawn over brain!

So Jones opened the door just as Antimoni wanted to open it. Does that mean she rushed over to open it when she saw Anni coming or was she standing like a stone waiting. Not funny option: coincidence

Are we about to get a reminder that Annie can do a kind of clairaudience by having her etheric self go over to a conversation and eavesdrop?

The bigger Annie has trapped the smaller Annie in her mind cage and is using her for fuel. That's why her mood has improved!

It'd be interesting if Annie becomes the terrifying abomination after that has been foreshadowed for Kat throughout most of the comic.

They were both the real Annie, but incomplete in some way. The way people are continuing to expect another shoe to drop, revealing that in fact there are still two of them and that this is some kind of ruse, makes me think you haven't been understanding the story that's been told. Or, possibly, I haven't. It's like that time Kirk was split into good and evil halves, not like Sliders. Lurdiak fucked around with this message at 10:05 on May 7, 2021 |

It's like when I have a file synced to cloud storage, then I my ISP goes out for a day and I work on the file offline while someone in the office messes with the cloud file. Then my internet comes back and there are now two similar but still different files in my storage that the sync program keeps bugging me to resolve the conflict of but I put it off because it's a pain until my supervisor just force merges the files anyway.

That was presumably the intent since it looks like we’re still in line for a “merging is good” ending but it was never really presented that way. Like, what makes you say either Annie was “incomplete”, beyond backwards reasoning from the merge being good?

I'll admit the incomplete part was kind of a last minute reveal thing, but that's how I interpreted the fight in Zimmy world.

Or, possibly, I haven't. I think the file merge might be a better explanation because the narrative has implied that these were two whole Annies rather than one halved by Loup. That's supported the most by https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=2445, where her fire power is described as twice as strong. Compare that to Dealing with HER where we get a direct comparison of their powers and Perspective, where we see Courtnie tear through some wisps. Neither chapter implies that they're weaker or halved in any way, whereas this chapter states explicitly that they're combined, and that combination was a true sum of their parts. I think it's written with the potential for a shoe to drop, but considering we had a year of two Annies, I won't hold my breath to see if/when it happens.
