Reminder that Jones believes she could take Ysengrin and Coyote at the same time and they didn't argue too much. Whichever mythological entity she is, she's one of the super badass ones.

Has her being a literal wandering eye of Coyote been proposed? Maybe somebody bargained for Coyote's eye. Its not like he's low on them.

The only mention of a "wandering eye" with reference to mythology is in an Egyptian creation myth, where the creator god wishes to search for his first creations which have left him, and removes an eye which becomes a goddess. Not that it'd be that straightforward of course, even the mythology that is used fairly straightforwardly still has an interesting spin put on it.

Strictly speaking, that isn't a case of Jones being able to match the two of them in a fight. It could be an assertion of an old agreement on their respective roles akin to a political treaty, it could be that Jones fighting them would just make the issue moot (I can't imagine standing next to a fight between godlike beings is healthy for school children), or it could be that Jones can do something that they can't counter to remove Annie. Nothing there automatically says that Jones is on the same level of them.

Well, strictly speaking that doesn't mean anything either. Jones may simply have let Coyote do that. We have nothing that shows one way or the other what Jones is or the limits of what she could do. That Eglamore thinks there are scenarios in which he could beat her doesn't say much either - we don't know what he is capable of (though if he can go toe to toe with the god empowered general of the forest he probably has some firepower beyond a good gym routine) and he could be underestimating Jones. About the most indicative thing is that someone who is familiar with gods, demons, death avatars, and all other sorts of beings can't fully comprehend what Jones is. Really, there is only one prediction or extrapolation we can make based on what we have seen so far: The next comic is going to be really awesome and result in us all wishing it was time for the next update already.

See really that name comes from Antimony 'mishearing' the name: Coyote was referring to Jones as the Wandering "I", a fragment of her identity externalized as a confining, passionless regulator, more or less the superego. Sort of an imaginary authority instead of an imaginary friend, given tangible form (unless Eglamore Coyote etc. are read as projections of Annie's psyche too).

Well, if we're posting our fan week stuff, I drew some too!  Also, it's not a super polished drawing or anything but I had to doodle Eglamore from this chapter. His dress is so cute, I want it!   I have a couple more things I want to draw but I'm not sure I'll get to it before the whole fan week thing is over. There's been some really great stuff so far, I'd post some of it but I'm scared of making this one too image-heavy.

Anyway, you guys really should check out all the fan week stuff if you haven't yet, here's some of my favorites besides the ones that have been posted already  by illasart  by drewapple     by punkrockshark  by allbearsallthetime  by magnoliaporter  by jelajade I know this thread wasn't really made for posting images so I'll stop myself there, but this tumblr has been reblogging it all, I'd give it a look if you want to see the rest, there's definitely some really cool ones that I left out. If all the images are making this page a pain to load I can take some down, just ask.

I like how Ysengrim looks not so much like an enforcer holding a badass pose as someone who really does not approve of such silliness.

OP has been updated with goon art, and also with the latest treatise page. As always, if there's anything else in there that wants tweaking/adding, let me know. yellowyams posted:If all the images are making this page a pain to load I can take some down, just ask. Is this an issue for anyone? Personally I love seeing more images in the thread, and this last page pretty much constitutes my entire argument in favour of keeping up the trend. It didn't occur to me that people might find it a problem for reasons other than preference.
