I would laugh so loving hard if the entire next page is Zimmy freaking out in agony like in that one chapter where it turned out she was having a pointless temper tantrum

I do think that Annie's entire plan for one of them becoming critically injured being "ask the psychopomps to interfere in matters of life and death" was insanely lovely planning though.

When Kat said "He had no idea who he was" I really thought we were about to get two seconds of reflection. Like her saying "man, that guy had no chance to develop into his own person or find character traits beyond 'une pipe' before he disappeared into the ether forever."

Nah it's just the memory effects as you get closer to the ether, glad that's all done with, let's move on :)

I REALLY hope the black-haired girl turns out to be Zimmy, because otherwise this is the second numan with actual personality (assuming Lana is a numan and not goosewife) and... uh... ma'am, a person just died, please don't be an attention whore.

I know the comic has declared this character looks like Zimmy, so I'm not doubting it, but I'm really not seeing the resemblance, honestly.

In this house we all wait around until the plot happens to us randomly and then forget about it afterwards. None of that characters reacting to x based on established characterization to drive the plot forward nonsense.

She has long black hair, thus she looks like Zimmy. Do you see any other characters around with long black hair??

Yeah I'm sorry but they really don't look enough alike to me to sell the idea that Annie spotted her. Even accounting for the art style changes over time.

If he made her irises a bit bigger and given her a wider mouth I could see it, maybe.

Yeah, even accounting for art style, the only resemblance is that their hair is the same color and looks vaguely similar.

I know we’ve gotten somewhat distracted but Rey suspects it’s Zimmy less because of her appearance and more because she’s been innocuously leading the group forward this whole time

Seriously though, this all makes me think that Tom was originally going to use Lana for all this "what happens when the robot people die, how will Kat deal with it, and how will Annie come into this as a psychopomp or not" but then introduced nobody mcnothingface to take Lana's place because either:

1. He decided he liked Lana and wanted to keep her

2. Thinks the audience really likes Lana (?) or at least have some interest in all that stuff, the any publicity is "good" concept

3. Lost interest himself with where things were going and has just been slowly jumping around for a while checking off boxes

All of those things remind me of Questionable Content Jeph Jaques style writing, but that's somehow been more enjoyable for a while.

I guess either way Sam seems like a fill-in for Lana in this robot people dying storyline for ~some~ reason.

Did we ever actually get confirmation on that though? It certainly seems like major plotlines are coming to a head, but the story keeps spinning its wheels. Like, I expected the Loup thing to be wrapped up long ago and it just kept going, even before we got the Jerrick arc.
