EmmyOk posted:I think magical space surgery requiring literal scalpels is a pretty weird concept actually. Maybe he cut of his own hand as the sacrifice for it I guess. Also considering his current lack of etheric skills I think there is some dissonance between that and being able to do what is presumably a very difficult etheric surgery across space. Also like I said even assuming the surgery is as literal as a duck we don't know why he did it or even what it was supposed to do.

At least a handful. It's the court.

That's a neat idea actually! Also I hope the court has a resident Space Surgeon with a name like Spunk Plissken Speaking of the Annie/Kat divide it is the thing I have been waiting for and dreading for a long time now.

Despite being a surgeon, Tony is never around, and also seems to do a lot of traveling in his research. It's possible that the Court or his friends (Donlan can summon things) have developed long-distance transmissions for procedures. Might be unfamiliar with the ether, but using a hybrid technique that dips into it - leaving himself vulnerable in the process. Jackard fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Aug 7, 2015 |

I will admit, this page goes a fair way for explaining to me on why Surma hooked up with Tony in the first place. And it's because he was actually pretty good looking.

MikeJF posted:I'm starting to wonder if Anthony had no idea that his experiments were even affecting his daughter in Divine. That maybe he was just trying to track Surma's fire spirit. Tony did nothing wrong. But yeah, it's seems more and more this is just a huge misunderstanding caused by Tony not knowing all that much about the ether and being too much of a goon and too depressed over his wife dying to properly communicate his actions to anyone. imperialparadox posted:It's a shame that he had no means to check in from time to time, just to let Annie know that he cares. Maybe one day a solution will exist for this problem. A) Cell phones to call directly into the court probably aren't the best thing while trying to stay hidden from the Court. B) Would you even get cell service while hiking into the Fantastical Forest of Elf-y Bullshit or the Mystic Mountain Caves of Some Toad Monsters?

Feels like there's some really dark things the Court is up to that would make him avoid it at all costs. He mentions it being foolish to think he could hide from the Court. Any contact with Annie would inevitably lead to him being tracked if they're so omniscient that he never actually managed to escape their surveillance. Of course, that builds the mystery of what exactly the Court is, and why he was so eager to avoid them. Presumably, he was brought back on the Court's whims, since he didn't want to show his face to Annie, whom he figured must hate him. Since his interests clearly don't align with the Court's, and he seems to have some insider knowledge of their plans (Omega things?), I feel like this return will finally set the gears of the main storyline whirring. After all, the comic is called Gunnerkrigg Court, not Jeanne or Coyote. Also of note was Surma's seemingly repulsed and defiant wish for Annie to not be born in the Court, while she was also the one who wished for Annie to attend the school. The former could be just attributed to what a cold and uncaring place it is, but why is Annie there? To be cared for by the Donlans?

You know just think, if Annie and Tony had a great relation this could turn into an father/daughter action magic adventure. Both trying to evade the shadowy organization from their past.

Fecha posted:If the comic is about Gunnerkrigg Court and we still don't know much of anything about Gunnerkrigg Court, then it kind of was. Well we know it grew from the seed bismuth! So the comic's title really is just a roundabout way of saying the story is about the seed bismuth. It ends when Smitty finds it in his pocket and there's a big panel that reads, "THAT'S WHAT THE STORY WAS ABOUT"

So, what are the odds the surgery involved was Anthony trying to operate on himself while the "ethereal bone surgery" was an allegory for the breakdown Annie had during/after Microsat?

Given that he's interacting with what look like woods people and the shape of the sun, I am wondering if his hand was cut off by a coyote bind.

Coyote bit off Tony's arm just so he could make hand related puns about him. I think we can all agree that this was the right choice, because the other choice was left.
