Madrox posted:Might just be backstory/a flashback. Also, is that perhaps Coyote based on the last panel? He is partial to shape-shifting and trickery. You're probably right, having re-read it. I imagine coyote will say something and renard will get all flustered about it.

In case it's not clear, I was saying I thought Coyote might be disguised as Renard based on his response in the last panel. Regardless, I may be over-speculating, and things may be as they appear.

I read it simply that Surma gave Renard the moniker "Reynardine" as an affectionate nickname one day and now he bears it proudly. Sort of like how he's willing to take a trip through the washing machine just because Surma made the body he's inhabiting. He's crazy for anything she has to do with him.

According to wikipedia, the fount of all knowledge...wiki posted:Reynardine is a traditional English ballad; in versions most commonly sung and recorded today, Reynardine is a werefox who attracts beautiful women to him so that he can take them away to his castle. It's probably just a nickname she gave to tease him for his advances.

B-but a nickname can't be longer then the name it replaces. That defeats the whole point of nicknames Surma!

Something about the last panel in todays comic bugged me, before I realised where we'd seen flowers in the forest before. http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=677 This also doubles as one of my favorite story arcs, together with Sky Watcher. I like any time Annie is over in Gillitie woods, basically.

I'm really curious where the story's going next. If Renard's relation with Surma was not as one-sided as it was always hinted I'll eat my hat.

The entire Court is Coyote. It's essentially a quarantine for Boxbot. An artificial world/life is created in the form of a gigantic school you can't get out of, with as many people as he needs. Should the Court fail, Boxbot's terribleness will spread across nations.

Coyote is a robot. Boxbot is a wizard. (But a bad one.) There, now you don't have to read the comic anymore because I explained it to you.

Brannock posted:Bestiality has a long, long history and lots of precedence. It already has at least one precedent in the comic itself, the Minotaur from chapter 2. Also, people need to stop thinking about the sexual angle first thing, seriously. How the heck did you all ever get through your classical mythology? Really, even if Reynard and Surma did at one point have sexual intercourse!!!--very unlikely, to put it mildly--the plot ramifications are much more substantial than oh my god something that would be undeniably wrong in a completely disparate context occurred offscreen . (Not to mention he would have probably done it in a human's body once he got the gift from Coyote, so it's only a question of whether their corresponding mental faculties are appropriate. And in that case, Reynard's far superior age could be just as much of a stumbling block.)PS- I sincerely doubt Tom would ever go there anyway, so it's scarcely important, and if he does, well, we'll find out when we find out. Isn't their emotional relationship more important here? Pick fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Oct 31, 2010 |

Really Pants posted:It's a safety measure, since apparently we can choose between "ROBOTS WIZARDS MONKEY CHEESE" or "Dogfucking isn't so bad guys come on" Yeah, that's totally what "Why are we always thinking about sex first thing when discussing a PG comic?" means. As I said, the existence of the minotaur already implied that such a thing has happened offscreen in the Gunnerkrigg universe. (Actually, Jeanne and her lover also suggest something similar, depending on where you draw your lines.) But nobody cried foul because that aspect of Basil's existence wasn't relevant, just like the sexual element isn't nearly as relevant as people are trying to make it here. It's not a porno, for crying out loud, and nobody here is arguing that it's okay to have sex with an actual canine. Again, I'm just how you ever got through the Greek myths. I'm pretty sure I had a book of those when I was six. Pick fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Oct 31, 2010 |
