Well it's not really a beard, I just hadn't shaved

Edit: Huh! My avatar has changed. I've had the same one since I joined SA, I think!

Don't talk it down, it was a pretty good beard.

But the Rocks and stones are powerful teeth of his..

Read that chapter again (obviously) and now I'm wondering who's body renard stole. That seems like the sort of thing that would be important.

I always kind of assumed Anthony threw himself into his work because his wife died and he's emotionally repressed so doesn't know how to deal with it. It also explains why he's avoiding things which remind him of Surma, including his friends and even his own daughter.

I mean it's not nice but people are hosed up and do lovely things when they are grieving.

I'm no expert on accents, and that the characters as supposed to be 'English', but for some reason the voice feels wrong to me. Perhaps it's because it represents a younger Annie, but it feels like there's more emotion behind her voice than there should be. That and, to me, it almost sounds Irish.

Hey welcome to Britain, we have hosed up accents, especially those who are unfortunate enough to be in Yorkshire.

That said I always kind of imagined that Annie had one of those non-accents. But that might be because I don't have much of an accent and was projecting.

I'd say it may be a good time to find a new place to live. That's some scary stuff.

It's probably because of all the sabre rattling over the Falklands. Gunnerkrigg Court is a British product after all. I imagine most readers of this thread would have similar problems importing books from Iran.

You're all wrong. Antimony's a teenager nearing adulthood, remember? Kamlen is masculine and sensual. Ms. Jones is androgynous and wears sensible shoes. This is a metaphor for Antimony's sexual indecision.

Should she be more like Bill Clinton, or more like Hilary Clinton. The question all girls have to ask themselves at some point.

Why is Eglamore talking about the court in the third person? I would have though as their Dragon Slayer and PE teacher he would have had some say in these things.

Kat is going to be the big bad at the end. Or possibly there will be a war and she will be a hovercopter pilot and go down off screen after a dramatic falling out.

Her hovercopter was shot down over the annan waters... it spun in... there were no survivors.

If Annie is descended from Fire Elementals, why can't Jones be descended from Earth Elementals?

When you think about the practicalities this seems a lot more reasonable.

Would that explain things? I don't know much about Welshness except that Welsh Scrabble would be insane.

Unlike the English who are born normally we Welsh are mined out of ancient dragon nests. That's why we hate Thatcher so much for closing down the mines.

While the art is gorgeous, I feel this chapter is dragging on a bit. Yes, we get it, Jones doesn't age. Now, get to the start of it all.

Yeah I'm kind of feeling that every time period needing to be a new page is dragging this out a lot more than it needs to.

Well, she certainly loves life too much to give it up. ("Meresankh" means "she loves life" according to Wikipedia.)

In the beginning was Jones, and Jones was with God, and Jones was God, and through Jones all things were made.

Clearly the letter is from Kat's old boyfriend. It's hard to write without hands, but with a computer he can at least use the hunt-and-peck method.

That dude is never coming back, we were specifically told she would never hear from him again.

Tom doesn't look like either of those people though.

From what I remember he actually looks sort of like a less chubby Guy Garvey.

I think all these pictures were taken in good ol' Brummagem. That "Livery Subway" at least here's another view of it. I can't be certain for the two landscape scenes, but they certainly look like the West Midlands. Same for the city shot.

Well he lives in Birmingham so it all adds up.

I prefer Mort's old comic. Not because of the joke, but because of the subtle nod to his origins.

The cursive script he uses is one that a English schoolboy in the early 1900s would have been taught, say at about the age of 16 or so

Doesn't everyone learn how to write like that? Speaking as a 24 year old British person.

Yeah it's how I was taught to write. I then had to unlearn it because my penmanship is atrocious and un-joined-up writing is the only way anyone can read my handwriting

Yeah I mostly write in print now (unless I'm just scribbling notes for myself) but I wrote joined-up through the whole of school.
