Zimmy has red eyes. I assume Jack has just decided to settle for someone similar to her.
Kinda half Zimmy half Annie I think.

Yeah, dating a girl who looks just like Zimmy. Still weird, but at least it's a more mundane level of weird.

That's how you get tinnitus

The only way that could possibly be Zimmy is if Jack suddenly developed the ability to suppress her powers better than Gamma can. I can't think of any other reason Zimmy would be hanging all over some guy instead of her.

Also there's the eye colour thing

Edit: I guess the other possibility is that her reality-bending powers are already at work here, she thinks Jack is Gamma, her eyes looking normal is part of the illusion, and none of this cruise ship stuff is even real :v:

Well once she opens her mouth, we'll be sure - you cannot reverse shark teeth.
And if it is Zimmy, then there is the most important question: WHERE'S GAMMA?

Well, the text bubbles do seem to be the same colour and Zimmy does refer to Annie as "Carver."

I hope it's Zimmy, if only because it seems that she is more adjusted and happy and yet the internet will complain about it, like it's a bad thing that this good thing has happened to her.

that is not a goatee that is a douchetee

I never hated Jack the way other people tend to; all of his evil moments were really under the influence, and he seemed pretty cool when confronted with Annie's total arsehole moves at the night party. But I gotta say that polo shirt and facial hair are not making a good impression.

Then again, he's fifteen, we all have terrible facial hair lack of judgement at that age.

Its Zimmy Gamma they merged in order to control Zimmys powers completely and as a side effect fixed her teeth eyes and skin.

Well from what I recall, and by recall mean "noticed while re-reading the comic this morning", Jack is pretty good with tech, he copied Kat's method of sneaking through the corridors at night in "Power Station" he build signal transmitters that the girls used to sneak out in Fairway Morning, he helped the laser cows and taught them how to make the cage surrounding the house. Since he was studying the Ether gathering plant so closely, maybe he figured out a way to make some sort of an etheral dampener for Zimmy to keep her "world go crazy" powers in check.
A far-fetched theory, but we've seen crazier.

Jack is my favorite character and I am really glad to see him again. The argument between Jack and Annie at the party is probably my favorite scene too.

The twist: She's Janet.

Edit: It's actually entirely possible that some girl had a crush on Jack and styled herself to look like the kind of girl he's into. Remember he's from Thornhill so would have a whole social circle that has nothing to do with the characters we know.

No he isn't, he's from Queslett. He's probably from the South class tho, as Kat said "we knew Jack's class is gonna be here too" when they went out to the laser cow fields.

Best part is Annie noticing him and desperately trying to get away before he can say hello.

Maybe it's just because I read it before even having my first sip of coffee, but I hadn't even considered the possibility that that wasn't a drastically changed Zimmy. Now I'll be looking forward to next week even more than usual to hopefully clear up my confusion.


Whoever it is, she looks nice though. :3:



if it is her, where is Gamma?

I really don't think it's Zimmy, but it would kinda be cool to see her looking so normal now.

This reasoning is possible for forums user idonotlikepeas!
I hadn't even considered the idea that this was Zimmy until I looked at this thread. I mean, Zimmy, without Gamma, in the sunlight, at that height, wearing different clothes, with a different skin tone, with an eyebrow piercing, with different color eyes, touching another human being voluntarily, participating in a group activity, smiling?

Nah.

Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
Bwahahahahahahahaha! Jack you dumb. I mean, yeah, hopefully this works out, but having seen this kinda thing dozens of times before, it likely won't. No one wants to be someone's silver medal.

Also she's got Mega Man character hands.

Tenebrais posted:

Isn't her father the warden headmaster? Maybe that's her natural skin tone and she's been using make-up the whole time.
