Why do you make me do bad things?

I hate to say something so trite as 'this isn't getting enough love', but this is loving tremendous and it deserves to be regarded as such.

I'd like to see Boxbot do anything useful with his arms.

Robox has a confident stride, a winning smile, and a go-getter attitude. Why play goalie when he could easily be coach or team owner?

Or, you know, a star striker. He'd never get called for hand ball.

I reread the archives in one go and it was a completely different experience. There's a lot of internal callbacks in the comic that I don't notice the first time around because I can't remember something I read months ago, like this:

http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=6

The arrow is the device that makes it impossible for people to cross the river. I think it was mentioned somewhere that the court did that. This series of events is probably how it happened.

Edit: I have a question. Who is the girl with the white hair who sometimes shows up in end of chapter art?

I think it's just some quasi-narrator for the end of chapter stuff, not anyone of consequence.

Haha oh yes I'm just that guy who hates everything, that's my schtick, I'm not even a real person I'm just a loving algorithm programmed by an insane computer.

Fuego, as a dude who appreciates you enough to play M&M with you, sometimes people can just say poo poo and you don't need to reply to it because it doesn't mean crap (and even if it did you certainly shouldn't care). Haters going to hate, etc.

I have a better idea you guys.

How about Smitty brings order to the situation by throwing the stone and hitting a bird. And Parley arrived because she was watching a romantic movie and is in love with Smitty.

Seriously here, he's not god. He just has the power to make everything boring.

If this is your idea of boring I'd hate to see you on Spring Break.

I imagine Parley was trying and failing to get her teleport mojo working and Smitface did his anti-entropy thing to flip her proverbial switch-- much to her surprise.

I am pretty sure that Jones is, in fact, a black hole that walks like a woman and has complete casual control over her mass and density. How they've managed to construct a robot around that, I'll never guess.

I think just "A noble act that cannot be dismissed." stands on on its own.

I think it might extend from "mechanical things" to "knowing how poo poo works" at first sight.

Considering her recent interaction with the robots, I think she's got some sort of etheric machine empathy.

While I'd love to use Kickstarter for some project ideas I have in mind, I am not American, so I am not able to use their service! They require a US bank account, state ID and major US credit card, amongst other things.

However, I've had word that the Vol 2 reprint is basically finished. I'll be sure to let people know when I have more conrete news.

The solution, clearly, is to start a Kickstarter to cover your moving expenses so you can relocate to the US and start a Kickstarter.

You know, I think some people don't understand one of the fundamental concepts of a cold war is that both sides are on relatively equal footing militarily and don't want to be obliterated by the other. If the Court didn't have superscience that could step to literal magic and forest gods and such-- if they didn't have a deterrent of some sort to make the forest coexist with them and actually discuss things rather than just do whatever they want-- I suspect it would be a much shorter story.

I think the shadows over the angry mob's eyes are meant to be a stylistic affectation but they look rather similar to Zimmy's Nobodies.

The one on the right looks like a stylistic affectation. The one on the left looks.. intentional.

Maybe being white isn't a mutation. Maybe Jones was the first white person, and all white people share her as a common ancestor.

I might be mixing my Homestuck and Gunnerkrigg theories, but maybe she's literally an agent of the author stuck into the world to make sure everything proceeds as it should. That would fit the "not an existing mythology" criteria.

My next improbable prediction: the next page is going to be nothing but white light, then the page after that is going to be the heat death of the universe in the far future. Jones' existence is paradoxical, and time is cyclical. Continue backwards until we get to now, and then Jones answers.

The simpler solution is that living through the end of the universe plays merry hell with your memory.

Too sad for me. I guess I can thank the avatar fairy for impelling me to get off my rear end and get a Coyote avatar.
