I think I started reading gunnerkrigg court like a decade ago, then stopped after chapter 21 when other stuff grabbed my attention. I was reminded of it in February of last year when someone on a Discord mentioned how bad the Jerrek/Lana/elves scene is -- I came back at the end of chapter 86 and been riding the roller coaster since then. After catching up with the thread, I'm glad I didn't get invested in this comic because it sounds like a radical downfall.

seems like this is a case of of Tom copying ya fiction tropes wthout examining what works, what doesn't, and why -- nothing more

kinda makes these characters look generic and disposable when you have a bald guy standing over the body of a bald guy

Feels like we should be approaching a climax but keep stalling on needless digressions

I believe Jerrek took Annie and Kat to where the missing robots were buried, then Coyote showed up, blah blah blah, trapped in a distortion

are we approaching a climax or anything resembling one soon

I'm still not sure how we ended up here. This started off with Loup attacking Coyote, which caused Zimmy to pull an Akira and now everyone's in a distortion, seemingly setting the stage for a final confrontation -- except Kat tells Annie to "get home and let [everyone] know what's going on", so Annie and the meat slaves set off to... leave, I guess, except they're stopped by easily dispatched monsters and teleported to a desert where Annie kicks a gopher and exchanges planar technobabble with Kat. This enables Annie to transport everyone to a forest where nothing happens, the group finds the bridge and there's speculation one of them might be Zimmy, more exposition over a walkie-talkie, Robot appears, Annie freaks out, more setting changes, young Agent 47 is killed by a ghost, and now this extended digression about psychopomps and souls and the ether and nothing follows anything logically.

I really hate this page. Besides what others have mentioned, the dialogue is clunky af. Tom needs to finish this and write something he has passion for, because this is dire. rudecyrus fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Jan 30, 2024 |

lih posted:https://www.hummingfluff.com/testimonycomic/ I kind of went through a similar process: raised Christian, questioned a lot of things, didn't like the answers, became an atheist, descended into misanthropic nihilism due to a combination of severe depression and almost universal rejection by my peers. Humans were fundamentally evil and stupid, there is no objective meaning to life so nothing matters, etc., etc. After a long period of therapy, positive interactions with people, and reading authors like Marx, Fanon, and others, I realized the problem wasn't human nature, but the systems in place designed to exploit the underclasses. Seems like she really needed an intervention and I get the feeling she never explored therapy due to her upbringing.

Does Tom have any idea where this is all supposed to end up, or is he stalling for time?

I lost it at Annie and Shadow gawping at Robot while Zimmy/Lana/whoever ponders the situation in the background. This loving comic.

Kat is gonna be like "I forgive you, Robot" and Robot will say "your mercy shames me, my goddess" and Kat will say "ha ha, jeez!" And then Annie will say "that's why you're so great, Kat" and Kat responds with "ha ha, jeez!"
