I like Boxbot, you all are going to feel super ridiculous when it turns out that Jones is actually Boxbot's alter ego.

DontMockMySmock posted:The other is to tell the truth, but tell it so unconvincingly that the listener believes you're lying. I'm reminded of a story told by physicist Richard Feynman, in which someone stole one of a set of double-doors from a room in the frat house, and Feynman, being a notorious prankster, stole the other, knowing that person who stole the first would be blamed for the second. The first door is found soon enough but not the second. The frat president tries to figure out who took the door and asks everyone in the frat, on their fraternity honor, if they'd taken it: quote:

A few months from now, some crazy things are going to happen in the court, and Annie is going to sleep fearfully with Coyote's tooth tucked under her pillow. She will awaken to find that it's vanished, replaced with a gigantic diamond and a note reading "OH WOW, THANKS! - TF"

Lots of people see their lovers murdered before their eyes and they don't turn into spectral beings of pure hatred. Jeanne is just being overly dramatic.

Letting your opponent, a teenage school student, kick you in the hand and make you drop the thing you were holding? Jeanne's gotten rusty since she died. She ain't so tough.

Pick posted:I hope Tom doesn't bend to the pressures of his fans too much in this respect. If Tom gets bogged down trying to explain how every single thing works and spelling it out in the comic proper, then that'll halt progression of the comic from a plot perspective. According to the author's comments, the way that etheric powers work is "It just does, okay?" Fans asking about why Smitty's power works the way it does will probably just get pointed there until they get it.

Dmitri-9 posted:Haven't you ever taken a date to a scary movie? Are you sure you remember what forum you're in. If only Smitty had been there, he could have made it all boring. Instead of having horrifying visions of murdered loves and almost getting sliced by a vengeful ghost, Annie and Parley and Smitty would have sat down and yawned a bit while Jeanne droned on in monotone about every event of her life and afterlife.

How complex and subtle did you want the story to be, man? Jeanne's memories have no words and are highly stylized. The page you linked gets across an integral part of Jeanne's story without words and in a single panel -- that she and Elf were separated when Coyote carved the gorge into the world. (Frankly, the use of Coyote's etheric pattern to divide the two lovers, rather than showing him carving it or even mentioning him by name, seems like a good use of subtlety to me.)

Idran posted:Out of all the authors that are against fanfiction, though, the best one has to be Jasper Fforde. The author whose main series, Thursday Next, is all about a person that jumps into various novels, interacts with the characters, sometimes even rewrites them from the inside; it's basically a big tongue-in-cheek fanfic of literary canon. I honestly wonder sometimes if he's not just against it all just to troll his fanbase. I have to wonder if his writing in general is just an attempt to troll people. The Eyre Affair is one of the worst books I've ever finished.

I have to admit, I'm still not entirely sure what Jeanne said that let Parley deduce that Jeanne wanted to kill her for being a Love Coward. Perhaps it was just a psychic thing.

I think the most interesting thing about Annie's fingerprint on the moon isn't that Annie's fingerprint is on the moon but rather that it's the only fingerprint on the moon. Coyote's probably shown off to all kinds of people by taking the moon from the sky but Annie was apparently the first to ever poke it.

I wonder how long it's going to be before the Big Jones Reveal. Apparently Smitty and Parley already know what she is, according to the "Word of Tom", and we've been seeing a lot more of them, (And they're going to be seeing a lot more of each other, ahurrrr  ) so perhaps they'll let something slip soon.
