It's the most pragmatic solution: assume they're both fake, let em duke it out, then interrogate the exhausted survivor.

Or just leave them both there, permanently, and have the comic be about Paz

I did not anticipate the shift from urban fantasy mystery to post-apocalyptic romantic slice-of-life comedy, but I appreciate the boldness of the twist nonetheless.

I eagerly await the tears of the people in other threads who were complaining Gunnerkrigg is bad now because the current plot is too slow.

Oh it's still bad now, it just has nothing to do with the pacing, more with the writing descending to Literal Sitcom level

I mean, do you ever have a particularly positive opinion of who you were six months ago?

I mean, imagine having to literally physically put up with the person you used to be, having not learned and experienced all the things you did in that time, and thus having not learned the poo poo you had to and grow from it. Sounds pretty aggravating to me.

Forest Annie, strictly speaking, is the less mature one here, by definition.

Yeah, I assume once we get the full picture of what the shadow men are planning it’ll be less “everyone gets on a plane to Ohio” and more “the shadow men trigger third impact”.

At the end of the chapter, Annie's going to look at the viewer and say "It turns out free will is a lie, and you, yes you reading this, are just a meat machine"

I would start reading this comic again if Annie just talked to the camera every third page like the Webcomics Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Speaking of robots, I just wanted to point out that they were one of the most charming and memorable parts of this comic. Boxbot, the king that draws on his face, Diego and his dark past, etc.

And Tom went out of his way to have a major plotline that entirely replaced them with bland humans and made sure they'd never make the comic funny or charming again.

I've really lost my taste for the new people plotline. Not only did it make the comic lose the robots, but it assumes without question a weird amount of human supremacy - i.e. that being a human is the most superior, desired thing to be for all other organisms - and it relies on Kat's magical genius that lets her do anything she wants for handwaved reasons, which is another thing I'm kind of over.

I dunno. I really kind of hate that it's such a huge part of the comic. And also that it's assumed ALL robots would want to transfer, including the "dead" ones that Kat promised she'd let rest (but didn't and suffered no repercussions for violating).

If you haven’t read O Human Star you probably should (as should everyone who likes robots)
