Traveller is just setting up a swole-as-hell puppy clambering up to the gates of Gunnerkrigg Court on his massive front legs. "You said you lived over here and I just wanted to see it!"

What's amazing about this page is that somehow I can hear it. The carnival sounds, slowly fading into merry echoes as they cross the bridge, followed by the oppressive stony silence on the Court side.

Synesthesia is a hell of a thing, apparently.

I seem to recall Tom once mentioning that, if he had to choose between the Court's secret agenda and the Forest's secret agenda, he'd choose the Court.

That might mean the Court is just a shade less lovely, but still.

(Or else Tom secretly hates trickster gods.)

Ah yes, the Gunnerkrigg Gang suicide pact.

Peacefully oblivious, Annie and Kat row back to the shore with arrow in hand to find all their friends' heads on spikes and Jeanne waiting for them.

Then they row back across to the forest side to find Ysengrin telling them that they can't come ashore because they've been tainted by the arrow's energy.

The comic changes names to Annan Waters and follows the pair as they live the rest of their lives on a tiny rowboat eating river fish to survive.

If Parley is only in love with Smitty because of the strings of fate power, then I doubt Jeanne would have gotten mad at her for flaunting her pure heart during their first encounter. It's fine.

Pretty sure by this point that both Annie and Kat are going to become psychopomps: Kat the guide of robots, and Annie the guide of restless spirits. Both gathering the souls that the other 'pomps can't.

Smitty dies. Parley pulls out the Coyote tooth and cuts Jeanne in half in grief-stricken revenge. Elf-boy snaps Kat's neck. Annie burns him to ashes. While everybody mopes around, Fortinbras enters and becomes king of Denmark.

Two options;

1. Parley either teleports of superjumps Smitty to safety. Everybody else stands around wondering how the hell they'll all get back.

2. Annie turns around and Smitty's standing there unharmed with a kind of "Well, what can ya do?" look on his face, while everybody else is sobbing around a body a little ways off.

What if Smitty dies, Annie claims his spirit ... then she refuses to take him into the ether? Maybe that would clog up the psychopomps somehow and give her leverage.

Or end the world. Either or.

So, uh, did little things actually fly off the beetle that landed on Surma's pad, or ...

When I look at the three-frame sequence, it looks like an impact. Like there should be a little muted "boom" sound effect.

If Jones can generate immeasurable amounts of force with her fingertips, she could just pull a pebble out of her pocket and flick it away from her at tremendous velocity. She'd probably land hundreds of miles downfield, but long walks are her specialty.
