Teleporting to the woods is also a possibility, Coyote could potentially do something. And I mean, it's not like the psychopomps can't follow along. Annie's actions don't really make any sense.

Cool, let's make this another mystery so the readers don't know what to feel about it.

EmmyOk posted:This is so dumb. Brinnie killed Anja's family so that Tony would be forced to go with Surma and inevitably fall in love and fail to save her and have a terrible relationship with his daughter who will also die. It's pretty explicit in text but smh at goons missing it as always and the twist will be that it's 100% justified

This chapter is a pretty good example of "don't show, tell". Show less and the reader can happily infer what happened, that time passed, they spent time together yadda yadda. But if you want to show it there's no number of pages of him going "haha" that can persuade you they had a realistically developing relationship.

SirSamVimes posted:Why are people saying Surma is being creepy? Tony's only real objections here are a) hurting is friend b) worrying that he won't be able to be the guy she likes when they return, not that he isn't into her. I mean she's being really inconsiderate and lovely to her boyfriend, but not creepy to Tony. Try flipping the genders in your head if you don't see it.

Okay, so is the point of this chapter basically Tom Siddell saying "stop thinking that there's anything wrong with Tony's relationships with other people and anything weird about his relationship with Surma in particular" or is it saying "jeez, all of these people sure don't give a poo poo about what Annie feels, because they continue to go to make this bizarro argument that yes, he's an arse to you, but he's so funny and smart to other people" as if it's supposed to make her feel better? Also if this chapter's content is meant to explain how Tony was able to make Kat come around on her opinion of him by sheer force of "funny and smart" (which was the original issue), then let me react with a sound "Haha!"

This chapter answers the "how" (they spent some time together and then started snogging), but not so much the "why" (like what the heck did Surma see in Tony, how the heck did merely being funny and smart sway Kat). If Siddell wasn't repeatedly just *saying so* he hasn't actually provided any proof that Tony *didn't* use some kind of magic trick to be attractive to Surma and make Kat forget about how much she hated him. EDIT: In Anja's retelling this tale is basically: Surma posted:A bug landed on my book. Fangz fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Nov 3, 2017 |

The original question is "Tom Siddell just explained away Kat hating Tony for being abusive (and from her POV attempting to murder...) to Annie by him being funny and smart off-screen, are we supposed to just accept that". I guess we are satisfied that the answer is "yes, because Tony and Surma saw slugs."

The only character that makes sense emotionally in this comic any more is Jones.

How does *that* transfer to the actual question which is *How the gently caress did Tony get Kat to forget he tried to murder her friend*? Kat did not hate Tony because he isn't personable. EDIT: 'Surma has an emotionally unfulfilling relationship' isn't even something that is established, but instead just stated at the end as an afterthought.

Mazerunner posted:But also I mean, people being forgiving or, well enabling of abusers and their lovely behaviour if that person is also likable and charming is a thing. I think that's kind of what we're seeing here- Tony's not meaning to be abusive to Annie, but he is, and his guilt is driving him to be even more distant, but the people who are in the best position to call him out (Donnie, and now Kat) aren't seeing him as the cold and robotic Bad Dad anymore, they see him as a likable dude in a bad situation who's made mistakes. Thanks for this. I'm happy with that being a thing, and it would be more acceptable to me if the point of these chapters is 'jeez, these people are really jerks for being so quick to forgive Tony' but looking at the reaction of people who *like* the comic and don't have any issues with all this that subtext sure is well hidden. There's an awful lot of digital ink being spilt about Tony's pain and frankly I don't give a poo poo about Tony's pain. Also I don't think this chapter on the face of it actually rebuts the brainwashing possibility, though the comic seems to really want us to believe it does.

Oh, so that strip shows the others actually do know that Tony is abusive to Annie. Sorry, however you say 'we don't excuse Tony's actions', having a friendly relationship with Tony while he continues his abuse and expecting the victim to confront the abuser and doing nothing to support the victim in the meantime except re-iterate how nice the abuser is absolutely is excusing Anthony. Give this child a loving hug at least. Jesus Christ. Edit: But yeah, Gunnerkrigg by my Google trends count has lost about 60% of readers since Anthony has returned.

The story as a whole repeatedly blends parental and romantic love in a kinda Huh way. It's almost a theme.

I'm gonna laugh so hard if the intent of that page turned out to be "oh look she's still alive quick we need to rescue her" and he just massively messed up his storytelling once again.
