If Reynard goes back to the forest, can we assume coyote will not be so kind to humans any longer?

Only if he thinks it's funnier to be cruel to them than to watch Renard suffer.

I want to live in your fanfic universe where every story has a happy ending, ChibiSoma :smith:

Annie stomps out of the room sobbing, and after a conversation with Kat or one of the teachers, she's cheered up, and comes back into the room to apologize to Reynardine. He's sitting on her bed with his stuffing hanging out a torn stitch, sobbing and groaning in pain. He holds up a lighter. "I thought we were friends, Annie." Then he flicks the lighter and presses the flame to the cotton hanging out his side. Annie beats at him to try to put him out, but it's too late. The eyes of the fox doll melt, destroying Reynardine's spirit, and the burning plastic of his eyes burns Annie's hands, sticking to them like napalm. Her fingers are so damaged they have to be amputated. She can't even hold her blinker stone anymore.

There. Now no matter what happens, you can think to yourself, "oh man, at least it's not as bad as that".

Annie draws tooth. Breaks signal stick. Stabs the gently caress out of Eglamore when he shows up.

The real plot of the comic is revealed. Gunnerkrigg Court... burns. Annie smears war paint under her eyes and summons terrible powers to punish her former friends.

I know this is probably because it's a dream or something, but according to Panel 6 that is a big loving hospital room.

In an earlier chapter there's a wide shot of Surma's room and I think it was pretty huge for a hospital room.

I still like this explanation, because there's no other reason for her to be so heavy. But the question I have is: how does this:


enter into it? I don't know much about Jewish mythology; were golems present during the Egyptian enslavement of Jews?

Maybe Jones just loves Egyptian.

It's probably supposed to be Thematic that Coyote's not as much of a threat as the Court thinks he is.

Although, granted, he is powerful enough to wipe the Court off the earth, it's just that if he does he doesn't get to laugh at them anymore.

Tea-san is the author, if you didn't know.

What gets me most curious about this arc is the epic scope of the action. Sure, we're getting two more comics per week, but how is this wild ride going to be over by Friday?

I heard that City Face 2 was filmed at the same time as City Face 3 and there's a "to be continued"!

I kind of hope the current story moves along pretty soon, though, the last three or four pages have pretty much been rehashing the same idea :\

I'm not sure about that. In each one Kat seems to be getting happier. It's like a montage of Annie doing silly things and they're working over time.

Conversely, the worst part of owning a big backrest or pillow is when it wants to tie you on a leash and use you as a dog. Do not attempt this the next time you are near an appropriately large backrest or pillow!

Yes, Annie's rebelliousness and flippant attitude seem to be worrying Kat. I wonder what will come of it?

Flash forward ten years, and Kat and Annie are going to stand on the bridge over the river and fight to the death, and Kat will remember her line "I don't want to kill you", it will be very sad.

Y'know, as far as I can see, they're just talking. I think I'll wait for some obvious flirting on both sides before flipping my poo poo.

Well, they did scootch a little closer together in the last panel of the latest strip.

This, clearly, means Jack and Annie will get married and Kat will be the bride of honor and just sob through the whole reception because she never told Annie how she feels...

I can definitely see where the perception comes from...

It's not a very good perception, it's just the idea that two characters can't be close emotionally unless they're attracted to each other. (Which is probably why Chibisoma also thought Zimmy and Gamma were the weird kids designated to be gay, even though Zimmy and Gamma aren't lesbians either.)
