Eventually loose ends do need to be explained. Also, so far as I understand it, Tom works far enough ahead in the story that any comments we make here wouldn't make an impact we'd notice.

You'd rather they build a robot that excavates the skeletons of both Jeane and the elf, followed by an extensive forensic analysis of the body to determine approximate time and cause of death for both parties before speculating upon possible situations wherein the wounds are explained?

Another random theory: someone mentioned that there wasn't an "order" deity to serve as a mirror to Coyote. I'm going to postulate that the mechanical birds either were made by or are collectively said deity. If you believe Ms Donlan, the court doesn't know anything about them and have NEVER been able to catch one.

Plus a whole bunch saved Annie, which means either they're really nice or they consider her important.

EDIT: More support

I just assumed the tic tocs were tied to whoever Mr. Donlan was talking about here: http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=401

Re-reading through the Coyote chapters for the billionth time. Something I never really noticed before for some reason that I think is pretty funny: Coyote can't seem to get her name right. The two off the top of my head I can think of is "Abolone" and "Acrimony Barber".

I'm pretty sure Abalone is an affectionate informal pronoun in some Native American language. Its shown up in more than one of my folk tale books.

I love GC and normally I think Tom is a top-notch writer, but I kind of hate this latest strip. It reminds me a lot of some of the worst aspects of Lost and similar shows, namely one character completely failing to answer a direct question. One character poses a reasonable question that the audience also desperately wants an answer to, but the other character (who knows the answer) responds with an evasive non-answer and then the scene moves on as if the matter were settled.

Writers: please don't do this. If you don't plan on answering a question, don't ask it in the first place. If you absolutely must ask a question, say you want to get the audience to think about it, have one character pose it idly or rhetorically or have the responding character genuinely not know the answer.

Except by asking it reraises the question to set up for a "Let's solve this riddle" story.

Anyone know the page or chapter where young Annie talks with the boy who accidentally burned his family to death? I cannot for the life of me find it.

It's chapter 16, but the flash back starts here: http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=338

I just went back to look at the treatise, and this chapter probably explains why Annie is holding a White Legs. Possibly the birds Kat is holding too.

Tom has hinted a few times that there is Something Up with Annie wearing makeup like that, and it's not just a normal thing. (Notice how much makeup her classmates have on when they show up, too.) I think he was going a whole different way with it than that.

I don't know that we're going to get total clarity on the chapter in the next couple of pages. I kind of prefer it that way, actually; explaining Zimmyness too precisely would tend to kill it.

I always assumed Annie's mom showed her how to do her make up, and this is just her connecting with her mother. I doubt we will ever get a proper explanation over something so small though.

I know I said it last chapter too (and was totally wrong) but I feel like the Jeanne story is gonna get picked up in some way again. The Annan waters were made by Coyote and I'd be very surprised if we didn't get his/the forest's side of that matter at some point.

I can't wait to be wrong again! We get more Coyote and Tom's art has only improved since the last Coyote chapter.

I've always assumed Coyote is just using Annie to get Jeanne out of the water because that removes the Court's protection.
