I'd rather listen to Bud tell a story.

I really like the not-so-subtle change Tom did when drawing Janet. Aside from, you know, drawing her as a tarted up racing girl, the way he did her jawline and hair makes her look older to reflect Winsbury's absurd story.

Much like how Annie and everyone else's faces have been getting less round and childlike over time.

There's always something else around, plus I owe the library nineteen bucks.

If everyone is taking turns telling stories do you think we'll get a story from Annie about her summer?

The chapter subtitle is "(and three short tales)" so unless Winsbury gets cut off and that means this one doesn't count I don't think so.

Also I love Janet's face at the top of the page. I think she doesn't like the story as much as we do.

I think that's just her serious face.

So all their friends know this story is COMPLETELY SERIOUS GUYS.

Not to mention Winsbury doing the patented Paul Walker Eyebrow.

Finally! It took 33 chapters of buildup, but at last Tom can start telling the story he's clearly been wanting to tell this whole time.

At last.

Perhaps it was both stories at the same time. He was a young undercover street racer slash stableboy with a penchant for doing wheelies in flaxen fields, she a horsestreetracer, and there they met.

I'm guessing how they actually met was terribly embarrassing.

Its true, being an undercover street car stable-boy isn't something you readily admit. Especially if you had to straighten your limbs for it.

Also, Winsbury gets to look forward to a jawline you can sculpt granite with.

This is exactly what I hoped would happen with this story, each interjecting and overwriting the other's story. Can't wait to see how the world of underground horse racing turns out.

I wonder if we'll actually see the real story behind these two.

Hah, the only reason for the last two comics is Tom wanted to draw ponies and cars.

So let me get this straight: Boxbot is Chu chu, who is also the Prince, who is also Akio, who is also Wakaba? I knew reading all those Geocities sites with Utena theories back in the day would come in handy!

Clearly Eglamore is the Prince, which means that Coyote is Akio? Which means that Coyote is Eglamore.

Yes. I'm too lazy to link it but the scene with Ysengrin and Coyote in the court the Headmaster tells Annie that his daughter Janet is in her class.

No, you see, it was a Tricked Out horse. That was also a spy for the Man with All the Gold. This is compelling television right here.

DontMockMySmock: Aug 9, 2008; I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Looks like 96 to me; it would have been better if there actually were 40.
