I'd take the under if 4.5 is the bar. If it doesn't make sense by the end of next week (3 more updates) then I fully expect it to start making sense at 4.

That second panel of Jones and Anonymously Hunky Guy (Jimmy Jims?) is really awesome.

Freudian posted:Yeah - Jeanne has been a fiery, passionate woman in every scene we've seen of her. Jones... I don't even need to complete this sentence. I dunno, it makes sense to me more and more now we know for concrete that Jones is some sort of static being. The arrow that ripped Jeanne's emotions from her, and tied it to the Annan waters, and now her emotionless body wanders about-- a wandering eye. However, that theory doesn't hold a whole lot of water since you'd think that Jones would, in that situation, be more tied to the Court through the years. And that she does have some sort of feelings for Jimmy Jims. So, either the situation is a little more complex than that, or they are just two similar-looking women.

With this last page, to me, it seems like Antimony really isn't going to get the Medium position. I guess it really depends on if this is going to be a happy chapter or a sad one― and while we did have some silliness with the robots, I still get this ominous feeling that things are still super serious and that they will not be going well.

runwiled posted:I'd argue that the Court wouldn't want her as a medium as she appears to be way too pally with the Forest-Dwellers. The Court wants someone who'll represent their interests and Annie has never demonstrated any kind of loyalty to them. In fact, we know as readers that she's planning to undermine the Court's defenses by defeating/liberating Jeanne. You don't need to argue, since that's my position as well! And she is flippant about Court-ordered punishments (detention) and this latest escapade with Ysengrin has shown that she's all too willing to put herself in harm's way.

DontMockMySmock posted:Also I just noticed that Ysengrin has his missing ear just sort of floating there detached from his head. Still wondering what the deal is with that whole thing. Well, he's missing a part of his forehead, too. Likely symbolizing his memories that Coyote stole, so I'm going to continue believing his ear got snipped off due to Coyote binding shenanigans.

Urban Space Cowboy posted:I must be the only person on Earth who had more than my fill of City Face and "WACKY ZANY PIGEON TALK! :iamafag:" after the first go-'round. Nah, I agree with you. There doesn't seem to be a lot of use in posting "I'm just not into this stuff.  " But it's not hurting anything so whatever. I mean, it's not like two weeks of City Face is going to stop me from reading the comic.

Cat Mattress posted:Man, this is the Boxbot Appreciation Station or Grinches Anonymous? It's two weeks of filler about a naïve pigeon. It doesn't have any ambition to be more than that. It's cute, clever, and candid. And it's better than the site just not updating for a fortnight. Annoying replies like this are another reason. Sorry that people don't enjoy the same things as you Cat Mattress, but no one is attacking City Face for being some horrible, ugly abomination that the site would be better off without. It's fine for what it is and it's good that people do find it an enjoyable draw, but there are possibilities other than "City Face" and "Not Updating."

Kantesu posted:That might be a Gradius reference, referring to her little floating sparkly bits. Though I suppose that would be capitalized. Still, it's a pretty funny idea for what those are. Or terrifying, considering Hetty's personality. Haha. This is now my favorite theory about the comic. Hetty's are Gradius Options! Maybe a gift from Coyote!? Now he can only use a Force from R-Type! I think we cracked the code, peoples. Open your eyes!

What makes Hetty interesting to me is that we're getting a peek at parts of the court we haven't seen yet. This is giving us a view into the wider court and some of the strangeness out there and some (one?) of the people there. Instead of throwaway references like the Cursed Teapot, this is us getting an expanded look at the Gunnerkrigg universe.

I kinda wish we got a glimpse of Hetty before this chapter of her untimely demise. I feel like now she was dropped in just to give Renard some context, but instead of using an element the audience was familiar with we got a new element. While Hetty does help to serve in fleshing out the world and give us another perspective on Renard, she's a cardboard cut-out of a real character. Increasingly shown as irreconcilably evil only to give justification to Renard's murder in this chapter. People asking "Why was Renard okay with Hetty before this?" is a very valid question. In the beginning of the chapter it is shown that this is not the first time the two of hung out, and that Hetty often speaks of evil, loves it in fact, but her situation was never clear to Renard before this? Again, we have no prior context, and Hetty doesn't strike us as particularly sly or hiding of her activities, so are to to think that Renard was acting an idiot before hand? Prior context would help us understand the situation better and again, and serve to make Hetty seem more unlike an amateur writer's attempt at giving Renard some more depth and backstory.

Yeah, I was kind of holding back to see what sort of developments would come out of what was going on. Now, the chapter isn't over yet and there could be some surprise(s) awaiting, but as a day to day reader, this is the point where I feel really disappointed in this chapter.
