If this were any other webcomic I would see this as the author writing out his lame high school revenge fantasy where he's such a cool and awesome guy and the girl wants him but he totally shoots her down, IN YOUR FACE BITCH.

Bud's the kind of Cool Teacher (or faculty member) who'd say "Listen, you know I wouldn't run you in for smoking up here, but the headmaster's in the building and if he catches you, you are in for a world of trouble. So you might want to consider putting those out and moving along."

But in a regional accent I won't try to attempt.

Bottom line is, Bud's all right.

So basically he's Ryan in Bad Machinery.

Aren't all satellites, in a way?

Or do you mean intelligent and from the same origins as the court robots.

Most satellites don't have moving parts, since moving parts are easy to malfunction, and how the hell are you going to fix a satellite? So they're not really robots unless you also happen to qualify your ipod as a robot for some reason.

If you have not voted in this horrible contest, please do so, because Tom will get $100 if GKC wins. It's not a lot, but Tom should be given as many of the dollars as possible.

But he's British! British people can't use AMERICAN dollars!

I guess we'll only know for sure when Jeanne emerges from Annie's scar, and then Annie bursts into flames. Kat won't be able to handle it and just floats away, noting that she is developing a fondness for corpulent women.

It's a portal to the elemental Plane of Hair.

Also at first, that bit of white from the torn sleeve in the second panel looked like negative space for me, and my first instinct was that Zimmy was ripping off Annie's whole arm.

Trickster does not mean harmless! Loki, the trickster god of the Nordic pantheon, at various times took body parts from others in his jokes, including Odin's eye.

But this is also Gunnerkrigg Court, not Grimdark Deathmurder Comic.

There's a world of difference between two minor characters getting offed in a flashback and what a lot of people are predicting in this thread happening to the protagonist.

It would be funny to see Coyote try to pull a reverse Sheherezade, where he gets Annie to tell him more and more stories on the promise of divulging seeeecrets.

I can see why the earliest chapters might put someone off, as unfortunate as it might be. The excuse that "it gets better later!" generally isn't much help either.

The most common problem I've hit when recommending it to people is "ugh, sounds like Harry Potter fanfiction" and I'm not really sure how to respond to that beyond a punch in the face.

e: I guess I could say it has robots. Does Harry Potter have robots? I don't know.

Interesting that she calls it a theory.

Kind of hard to take what a trickster god says at face value.

And before you say "Coyote never lies," keep in mind that "not lying" is not the same as "telling the truth".

As Coyote was made by man's imagination, so too Jones was revived by Dieago's belief when Jeanne disappeared. No, wait - Because the robots worship Jeanne, their beliefs have created Jones, which is why she is like a robot! She is the robot GOD! It all comes together!

The only similarity is that they're women with blond hair.
