Yeah, it's a bit slow reading it update by update. But the pages look amazing.

Worst comes to worst, Shadow just has to make a getaway with Robot's CPU - Kat can build him an even better body!

And it takes three days for the new body to be made and all the other robots thought they managed to kill him so when he comes back Robot's metamorphosis into Literally Robot Jesus will be complete amen.

It's a universal constant that robots just can't stop themselves from saying their secret plans out loud whenever possible.

Exhibit B: TF2 comics.

It was some pretty bitchin' off-the-cuff slight of hand, you have to admit.

I didn't even notice she did that till I looked again.

Coyote's rubbing off on her. She's getting a taste for showmanship.

I think Reynardine's behavior when we first met him can be easily explained by the fact that he spent years in some pretty brutal imprisonment.

So it's either Paz, her robot assistant, or one of the birds who Paz can talk too and probably teach to type on an old computer.

This is some sort of fakeout, and you know it.

Going with my bird theory because thinking about a small robin or something hopping on and pecking at keys to write a love letter to a human girl is really funny.

There's so many twist to where this can go, but the REAL twist is gona be when Kat and Paz start smooching within the next three pages.

"Wow," says everyone "that was like the one thing I didn't guess."

Relax guys if it turns out Kat isn't gay she can always just build a robot clone of herself to love Paz.

That end of chapter was completely and unambiguously sweet and heart warming.

Yall know that means to balance it out the next chapter is the one where one of either Smitty or Parley gets killed by the ghost lady.

Was Gamma being literal in this page? I wonder how much Paz confides in the animals she works with...

Welp, reread the chapter. I've forgotten how much I loved this one. Zimmy and Gamma need to show up more often to hang with Annie and Kat.

If Zimmy can read a person's mind, it seems like it would be trivial to read a rat's mind.

Yeah but it's sort of A Thing that there are No Rats in Gunnerkrigg Court. It's pointed out once by Gamma after the happy rain chapter and Tom mentioned it once outside the comic.

Well, Renard is the central character of a series of European folk tales (Popular enough to the point where "renard" has become the french word for fox) in which he serves a similar role to Coyote, that of a trickster. The main target of his pranks being Ysengrin. One tale was him tricking Ysengrin to fish with his tail in the middle of winter, leading it to end up frozen in ice. When Renard tells Ysengrin to get up, he replies with "You don't know what you're saying, deceiver. I have all of Scotland hanging from my buttocks."

In other words we need more of Renard being a hilarious dick. :v:


I wonder how much Renard from the folk tales exists in the comics version of him.

Maybe after Tom finishes with the Annie in the Forest comics he'll make one about Rey and Ys before Coyote showed up.

Also he should do a Zimmy and Gamma comic.

And a Jones comic.

Look just make comics for every single characters I need more of everything and everyone in Gunnerkrigg.

I really like how direct this is. I thought there would be more beating around the bush and misunderstandings then this before Annie finds out the memory loss thing.

Also everything about Ys is ten times sadder because really when I look at his face I just see a big fluffy sad dog. :smith:

I love all these new monstrous designs every single one these pages are all amazing. Besides the giant bugs and snakes are any of them directly taken from any sort of mythology or are these all straight from Tom's head?

For real this is my favorite chapter just LOOK at everyone.

All this stalling is just to make it more plausible that Annie had time to edit all the "congrats on the boyfriend!" decorations and cake to "girlfriend".

Cool thing. Apparently someone talked to Tom while buying the books, and when Annie in the Forest is done, the next Outside the Walls story is going to be about Paz in Spain.

I was just about to point out the fact that this thread seems to be the only place on the internet that didn't immediately and universally jump to the idea that Annie realized she is in love with Kat. And then you came along.

I'm pretty sure Tom once said both Queslett and Thornhill are a mix of normal students and ones with neat powers, with Queslett tending towards more neat powers and Thornhill tending towards more boring normal kids. But it's the other two houses that really have a specific theme (Forests Creatures and Real Weird poo poo as far as I remember.)

Also I think Jack was just a low level compared to Kat Good At Science guy before the whole magic spider in his brain thing.

So who gets killed by the ghost when this all goes wrong, Smitty or Parley.

I think it's more likely the little robot just recorded everything on it's own, probably unnoticed by everyone and unknown to Diego and the robots edited out the unimportant time spans, assuming it even needed any editing. And the giant evil robot was unambiguously Sir Young.

On the plus side, if what Annie and Mort see is super-ultra scary, just think about how badass Kat must be appearing to them. Ah, if only Robot was around to witness Kat's superiority over the agents of ROTD...

I just realized how prototypically mythical her going into the land of the dead and returning with lost secrets is.

Clearly this is the chapter in which Annie goes goth, Kat gets goth because her best friend is doing it and Paz starts dressing all gothy because her girlfriend is doing it. Tom announces his comic is now being sold in Hot Topic. Sales triple.
