Line Feed posted:drat girl loves her some ceiling corners. Is that a thing with fire elementals like do they have an affinity for ceiling corners because she's up there like, all the time. Heat rises.  ...well, maybe it's just a reflection of the situation. Annie doesn't want to deal with her feelings about her father, so she separates the emotional part of herself (the fire elemental) and at the same time, the emotional part of herself doesn't want to deal with any of the logic that might explain away why Tony did what he did, so it literally flies off to the corner to sulk and stick its fingers in its ears.

And nothing changed and no lessons were learned by anyone. The End! Glibness aside, I like how little the revelations about Tony changed the situation. Annie is still repressed and in denial, Fire Annie is still bloody furious. Sometimes, having all the answers doesn't count for much. Good way to wrap up the chapter.

It's possible Annie would've been able to learn from this experience more if she wasn't split in half. Kind of a Shakespearean sort of timing there.

Boy I am really tired of Annie by now. I hope the next chapter focuses on something completely different.

We now have a complete idea of how all this is affecting Annie and Tony; we should see how it affects some of the other characters. Especially Kat.

Constantly almost getting there Is he going to apologize? oops, he's insulted her breath instead Is she going for a hug? No, she just has gas

My other theory other than Smitty finding the seed is that Boxbot is a literal box that contains the seed. Fingers crossed

I want to see a chapter where Fire Annie escapes and goes on adventures with her friends while Meat Annie stays home and does homework.

BravestOfTheLamps posted:I think the chapter was kind of weak, because GC's strength is character interaction and the monologue distracted from that. I dunno. You can see a lot of interaction from the lack of interaction. Tony is drunkenly venting and Donny is saying the bare minimum to get a story out of him. Donny shows up with booze, lets Tony talk, doesn't cut him off, and then leaves him to sleep in his chair in just enough of a position where he probably won't choke on his own vomit. Donny hasn't overtly expressed much anger, but he hasn't been exactly friendly either.

Go re-read this chapter and actually look at the characters in the background instead of letting your eyes glaze over because oh god no there's words.

I think the chapter is good and I think in a normal read through instead of release-by-release it would flow even better. I guess there is an argument that a webcomic should pace itself with its schedule in mind.

I guess there is an argument that a webcomic should pace itself with its schedule in mind. I don't think you'll find a long-form webcomic that does this better than Gunnerkrigg. Every strip feels like it has its own "punch" to it, despite being part of a larger chapter. If it occasionally fails (which I don't think it has in this case) to consistently keep you engaged with every single page, I think it can be forgiven.

JT Jag posted:Why is Tom dragging Jones' history out, we get it, she's old, this is boring uuuuugh Thing is, there were people literally saying this during that chapter. GC often faces the issue that it's a print comic being put up page by page on the internet - so chapters like this one and The Stone which are slower-paced can feel a little boring when you're waiting for the next page which isn't for three days and it's going to be another shot of Jones walking across some lava or Tony getting drunk. But they work perfectly well when you read them back.
