Oh man, I discovered this three days ago, and I'm loving it. :allears:

Thanks to all the goons with Mort/Annie/Jones in their avatars! :v:

I'm on Chapter 38 - Divine. This webcomic sure can get weird. :stare:

What's the deal with the tea, if I may ask? I just reached the last page available. :v:

In retrospective, Chapter 2 (the one with the Minotaur. I think it's Chapter 2?) felt really disjointed from the rest of the series. :v:

I never expected him to appear again, though.

This comic. :allears:

I've been rereading the archives. There were a few moments in the comic were I seriously stopped reading the first time just to take in the excellent conclusion of a chapter - some examples that come to mind are Shadow's expression here after Robot starts talking about how Kat can both give and take life, and Annie's explanation about his resentment towards Muut and other Guides.

This comic. :allears:

Heard a lot of good things about this comic, decided to read Chapter 1 before heading to bed.

Now the sun is rising and I've burned through 40+ chapters but I want more dammit.

Unexpected benefit: I understand about two dozen more avatars on here now.

Yeah, as I kept reading on I started murmuring to myself "Oh, so that's where that avatar came from...". The Avatar Fairy is the real hero here. :v:

My sister has been reading this for the first time, and I've been able to answer every question she has asked me so far with a "They'll explain that later. Keep that in mind." This comic is awesome.

Also, we both agreed that this page is just too heartwarming. :3:

Also the fact that as soon as Reynardine left the toy he'd be free to do as he wills. While he probably wouldn't snap and kill everyone, there's a good chance he'd jack some kind of body and run away.

I don't know if Reynardine would try to escape from the Court at this point. As Coyote said, he's still there due to Annie.

Maybe I forgot, but was it ever explained why he got into the being Annie met in Chapter 3?

Yeah, Annie isn't a Mary Sue by any stretch. She just had some maybe-too-convenient-for-the-plot characteristics, but those got explained, though later, like a lot of stuff in the comic.

edit: I've held off posting in the thread for a while til the av-fairy was done with this round, but in case he or she decides to go back again, please pass this avatar by, I love it and it was a present.

No, you fool! :gonk:

So how old are Kat and Annie right now? Annie seems at least 16 in that page Strongylocentrotus posted.

Re-reading through the archives (ONCE AGAIN) I gotta give props to Tom for actually writing Spanish correctly. I know it's hard sometimes since the small differences are a bitch and a half, but I think I only saw one syntax error in all of Paz's scenes. :golfclap:

I don't know why everyone says that? His power is not some reality altering force that rigs things to go smoothly for Smitty, it creates order where there is none. If Ysengrin want a nip of him, I don't see how that will help. Nor how it's suppposed to cure Ysengrin's instability.

If order between the Forest and the Court is mantained thanks to the existance of a Medium, then Smitty involuntarily changed the Headmaster's decision. :v:

Huh?

I only found one mistake in all the dialogue Tom has written for Paz. I'm from South America too - Argentina, to be precise - and I'm actually amazed at how well written Paz's dialogue is, considering she's just a secondary character.

I'm a terrible fan, I don't recognize Cosmobot's old avatar.

Also, people have asked me why did I choose a Superman avatar instead of a Batman one. :v:

Paz will now murder Kat to protect Bobby's feelings, and Tom will appear to tell us Gunnerkrigg Court is now a murder mistery. :colbert:

Re-reading Divine, I realized just how much more mysticism Tom's footnotes add. Seriously, after the page with Robo-Kat Tom's "One day, Zimmy" feels really cryptic and improves the reading experience for me.

That page may actually be my favorite page in all of Gunnerkrigg.

Dunno, the page where Annie tells Kat the psychopomps made her guide her mother is also a strong contender, if only for the huge gutpunch. :v:

At this point, the only thing I'm wondering about is if she'll get mad at Loup and go "I HAD IT UNDER CONTROL THE WHOLE TIME! I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING! YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD!!!" and storm off, or go "Wow, thanks for that!"

Given she's completely oblivious so far, I'm leaning towards the first thing.

Robot finds the body, makes the other robots think they killed the Angel/the Angel has finally ascended, poo poo goes south.

And a robot berates Annie.
