Dammit Who? posted:The page after that has what is probably my favorite panel, where she's giving Annie/Kat the finger. My second favorite panel? The one where Coyote says "Hey Antelope! Nice FACE you have! FOR A GIANT IDIOT I MEAN AHAHAHAHAHAHA I AM SO SMART!" It really is great.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a better explanation, but we don't have enough information yet. Maybe it has something to do with Sivo? I dunno, it just seems like there's more to that story.

Was I the only person that found Coyote's expression in the last panel hilarious? He looks genuinely shocked, possibly for the first time ever.

MagnoliaPearl posted:The Court didn't tell her, but neither did Coyote or Ysengrin or any of them, even though they knew too. I guess since the Court serves as her home and the adults there her guardians, Annie might distrust them more for not telling her, but I don't think she sees Coyote as "the only one she can trust". Honestly, she's probably not thinking about any of that. She's angry at the adults in the Court, and she went to Coyote because he's the only authority figure she knows that's not part of the Court. Even though we've been discussing and speculating for weeks, it's only been like maybe 15 minutes in the comic- she's still upset and hasn't thought any of this through.

The chapter subtitle is "(and three short tales)" so unless Winsbury gets cut off and that means this one doesn't count I don't think so. Also I love Janet's face at the top of the page. I think she doesn't like the story as much as we do.

YggiDee posted:edit: oh hey there it is. I figure stuffed animals are all secretly jerks, and Reynard is reflecting that. This isn't really related, but I just realized that we know why Kat's mom is crying on the next page now.  I really love all the little bits of foreshadowing like that. It's easy to forget they ever happened when you're following the comic as it updates, but when you eventually go back and reread them there's a really great moment when everything clicks and you finally figure out what was going on.

MikeJF posted:We always did, didn't we? Annie didn't transfer in until Surma had actually died, and the audience knew they were friends by that point in the comic. She was just crying at her friend's death. Right, but it wasn't until a couple hundred pages later that we found out Surma died because she had Annie.

Benagain posted:Because if Annie wasn't able to leave her mother's side until her mom finally died. Ergo, if she's transferring in, that's kind of an automatic death notice. Right. Presumably, the paper only says that Annie is transferring in, not that Surma is dead. Kat's mom knew having a child meant Surma was dead (or at least dying), but we didn't, so at the time it wasn't clear why Annie transferring in made her cry.

Madrox posted:I was re-reading some bits from the archive, and thought that in light of the most recent strip, it was worth pointing out the narration in this strip, particularly the last few panels. In light of this, the strip makes a lot more sense. The point isn't about the relationship between Robot and Shadow or whatever, it's about Robot figuring out what love is.

Whitenoise Poster posted:The best part is imagining how that looked from Kat's perspective. Zimmy just gets sent flying. Especially once you realize that Zimmy's movement in the ether correlating to her movement in the real world means that Kat has been watching her walk around and make random, incomprehensible motions for the last couple of minutes.

I think it's a bit early to be jumping straight to the "OH poo poo" reactions. The interaction on this page reads more like joking around than a serious dispute- my read, at least, is that Annie's just pretending to be petulant rather than intending to actively disobey or ignore Coyote, and most of her words/actions (with the possible exception of "I want to go to the village") make more sense as the former than the latter. Besides, Coyote's the kind of guy who keeps his cards close to his chest. He can be sinister, and I don't doubt Annie's going to see his dark side again before too long, but right now she trusts him and I don't think he's going to blow that leverage until the time is right. He may be trying to freak her out, give her a reminder of what he can do just in case she forgot, but I don't think this is meant to be a real threat just yet.

Ezzer posted:It gets said like once every page but Jones isn't based on existing mythology, guys. Maybe I'm misremembering Tom's exact words, but I think the wording in that answer left enough room for her to be based on existing mythology even if she's not actually taken directly from it, which would mean something like 'Odin's missing eye' isn't necessarily off the table.

Honestly I could see it going either way at this point so I'm just gonna wait for the next page without trying to make any calls. I doubt the love letter plot point exists solely for the sake of a fakeout but this could just as easily be setting up something related to Kat's developing robo-cult as any kind of romance subplot.

You know for some reason this page makes it seem a lot more likely to me that Kat is going to shoot Paz down. I could just about see it going either way before but I can only see the last panel here leading to Kat jerking her hand away on the next page.

Tenebrais posted:This leaves Annie the only student character without some sort of relationship or crush. She's never shown any romantic inclination at all, not counting the trick she tried to pull on Jack. I wonder if that's important. It could just be her father's influence; he looked much the same. There's always green forest dude.

OneTwentySix posted:If getting pregnant meant you were going to die a few years later, I think that would be a big thing to scare you off of relationships. So really, if any of the characters should have been gay, it should have been Annie, since odds are, straight Annie is going to die in the prime of her life, just like her mom. There are ways for a woman to have a relationship with a man without getting pregnant, you know. It's not actually a foregone conclusion.

Tenebrais posted:I don't think we'll be able to have a good guess at what Anthony is up to until we know the nature of his and Surma's relationship. They were apparently both entirely aware of what would happen if they had a child. They did anyway. Tom's comment on this page is interesting. Maybe it wasn't entirely up to Surma to choose whether or not she had a child? Could be that's why she ended up with Anthony-- even if she was somehow compelled to give birth, someone more guided by emotion than Anthony seems to be might not've been willing to impregnate her knowing what would happen.

Wrist Watch posted:So like a literal I see where you're coming from, but I was thinking more along the lines of "if you don't pass the flame along before X age it grows too strong and burns you up from the inside" which would probably be a bit more palatable than "I just can't help but have a baby because  ." I suppose there'd still be some kind of sketchy 'biological clock' implications in that too though.e: ^^^^ Actually I like that interpretation better too. And of course it's always possible that Coyote's wording there just doesn't necessarily mean anything but then it is Coyote. Opposing Farce fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Jun 2, 2013 |

mr. stefan posted:I actually wouldn't be surprised if Zimmy was the result of some experiment by Anthony to create a child from his and Surma's genes without the "stealing her mother's fire" bit, and it backfiring horribly with the end result of Zimmy's powers essentially being what happens when someone has part of their soul surgically removed in utero. Eh, I dunno, the whole idea of Zimmy being somehow connected or related to Annie rubs me the wrong way. I think she works better as an example of the strange and occasionally terrifying etheric nonsense that sometimes crops up in the world.

Yeah, his poses and expressions here scream "this adventure is going to be a somber one" to me. I get the feeling this chapter's going to give us some insight into the less upbeat parts of Renard's backstory/psyche.
