Coming back to this

In that very picture you can see that Jeanne has green eyes and Jones has black ones. :v:

Obviously, she wears colored contacts, and she acts emotionless so that she doesn't accidentally open her eyes too wide and they fall out.:colbert:

This page is amazing, as the whole chapter has been, but I have to nitpick a bit here. What's with the line around Annie's neck? Does her necklace loop twice?

I'm getting a real Team Rocket vibe, not sure why.

Clearly this is it. The ship is the SS Anne, and the chapter will end in a Pokemon battle. It will then be revealed that Tom is a Pokemaniac, and Gunnerkrigg Court was a Pokemon fancomic all along.

Aquaman should just be a really strong guy who fights giant seamonsters for fun. Maybe give him some magic weapons he got from an awesome adventure or something. The kind of guy who sees Space Godzilla attacking the Earth and goes: "I'm punching it in the face." See, powers sin,t really what makes a character interesting or not. Giving him more powers won't make people like him more. Just write cool stories.

So, make Brave and the Bold Aquaman the official canon? I'm down.

Holy poo poo. She never said what specifically her dad 'didn't' do. She could have been saying, "Kat, he didn't do it to humiliate me."
This was my interpretation in the first place, I was surprised that anyone read it as "he didn't cut my hair". Annie is in overly literal mode so she seems more likely to be answering the question exactly as asked.

Parley: He made you cut your hair?!
Annie: No! He didn't!

Don't forget his ultimate goal is to grow a clone of Annie so that he can resurrect Surma. I know it's going to happen because it's the plot of Neon Genesis Evangelion. I'm confident that the "Annie becomes a mecha pilot" arc will start soon.

This is what I pretty much think, hopefully Dolan and Renard will speak to him and let him know that it’s not to late to be a good father to Annie. This will result in Tony doing the fatherly British thing and awkwardly apologize to Anne and give back Renard to her. Annie will do the girl thing, hug her dad and cry about it for a bit. Her dad will look extremely awkward at first, reciprocate the hug, smile a bit and cry a little. End chapter.

But that’s not going to happen.

You see Tony is actually a beligirent drunk, he will take the scotch bottle in his hand.

“ITS ALL THIS FACKING oval office PLUSH WOLF FAULT MATE” he will scream to Dolan as he tries to smash Renard with the bottle. Kat killphrase becomes active and Renard mauls the gently caress out of Tony.

“Nice” Says Dolan now covered in his own BFF blood

“Nice” Says Annie and her firespirit now that they are free from the one-handed bandit

“Nice” Says Kat who watched everything on a hidden camera

“Nice” Says Jimmy Jims, who just barged into the apartment and his truck is parked outside

“Nice” Says Coyote who is always more than willing to help dispose of the evidence

“Nice” Says the Court, because honestly Tony was kinda a dick anyways.

*~*HAPPY END!!!*~*

I never claimed that except facetiously. Somebody else speculated that Anthony might have known about something similar, and I then facetiously suggested that he would know because he's an antagonist. I can hardly be blamed for the illiteracy of others. I misread my own old post, ironically enough. I was claiming that he was the antagonist because didn't how to transfer souls and would try it anyway.


Actually, I am simply reading the text. I read the fantastic elements as always being metaphorical or symbolic to a degree. Thus Annie separating herself into two expresses her inability to reconcile her love ("understanding") for her father with her suppressed anger (towards her father, herself, and presumably the Court). Which is the text of the work.

This is not a "cliche," it is simply a narrative element.

This is a fantasy comic, those fantasy things are actually happening in the fantasy world.

This is a metaphor, Annie is not literally falling into space.

This is not a metaphor, they are actually travelling to the Realm of the Dead, a real place in the comic's world.

I hope this helps.

Do you think Coyote wasn't expecting that reaction from that guy (whoever he is)? The thing is, Coyote has yet to put Annie in a situation where she's actually been harmed, much less done harm to her himself. She's always had some kind of out, with Eglamore here, the magic stick with Ysengrin, and Coyote himself coming to her rescue in Fun City (which I really doubt was a coincidence, or at least a total one).

The obvious counterpoint is the amputation bracelet, but in a roundabout way that actually supports this, with Annie's 'out' being simply not mentioning the tooth. Coyote is a trickster archetype, and while those are rarely nice, they also don't often cause harm directly or arbitrarily. After all, it's much funnier when someone hurts themself as a consequence of their own foolishness, and tricksters will always take the route that's the funniest.

And that's a pretty big difference in court.

And Ysengrin's mind is in more pieces than Annie's blinker stone. This, too, makes a pretty big difference in court.
