I feel like Annie teaching Kat how to do ether tricks is like that old "How to draw The Tick" lesson.

It's kind of sad reading this comic, actually. It's become more and more obvious just how little Annie and Kat have in common, other than their friendship. I really hope they don't end up on different sides of whatever ends up going down, but at the same time, I do, because it'd be less of a story without conflict.  VVVVVVVVVVVV: Yeah, you're probably right. I just see a lot of potential for a tragedy here as well. Tollymain fucked around with this message at 17:23 on May 4, 2011 |

Them pushing through this and remaining friends whilst being drawn to opposite sides of Whatever Ends Up Going Down will probably be the driving force in resolving Whatever Ends Up Doing Down.

Endings? Resolution? What are you nerds talking about, we're just about to start a new school year here. There's larnin' to do, cupboards to explore and mysteries to solve.  Annie and Kat are friends forever, and the only thing going down any time soon is a minotaur's foot on a pint sized robot.

This is pretty much one of those opposites-attract friendships. There may be differences between Annie and Kat--a lot of them in fact, and some of them pretty big--but in many ways I think the girls are friends because of those differences, not in spite of them. I'm not saying there won't ever be hard times between the girls, such as last chapter, but I think they'll work through them just fine, just like last chapter. And besides, Kat is a curious, scientific-minded girl. I think Annie's abilities perplex Kat and the desire to find a scientific explanation is part of what keeps Kat around.

I think the differences will cause tension, more than anything - but the thing that works about Annie and Kat is basically that they've known each other forever, since they were both too young to have developed different ideologies. The hidden strength of Gunnerkrigg is that you see this arbitrary childish friendship grow and mature, to the point where the looming threat of the girls different worldviews is imperiling something we care about.

And we've already been given an example of this in Kat's parents' relationship. Her mother is all gypsy magic stuff, while dad is all techno-computer geek, but together they came up with the hybrid system that they can both channel. I can see Annie and Kat working on similar projects when they

Interesting how Kat is seeing neurons in her analysis of the air conditioner. What kind of crazy schematics are going through her head, there?

Obviously that air conditioner just makes all other air hotter to make the room it's plugged in to feel colder.

VanSandman posted:...Now that you mention it, Maxwell's demons would fit perfectly. I just figured it was to showcase the difference between Annie and Kat. When Annie talks about "emptying the mind" she's speaking in terms of a spiritual mind. Kat can't help but see the physical, biological mind (the brain). Or, you know, something that actually makes sense.

To me, I think it's Kat discovering she has some kind of machine empathy, probably inherited from her parents. But who knows!

McGravin posted:"It's powered by the heart of a forsaken child?!" I just watched through the first two seasons of this. Such a loving hilarious show. Also, I feel like the heart of the elf guy in the river might have something to do with the old robots, what with the heart being central to their blueprints.
