I think this is the best thing to say. This page was so good it turned a predictable, if entertaining chapter, into a seething mass of theories and waiting for Friday. So yeah, good job Tom.

I think Tom should just end all chapters like that from now on. Pulling back to show a wide panorama of the countryside as robot cows drift gently downward, playing their deadly eye-beams across everything in sight.

Also, Panel 5 is the best thing. I love that Annie is as surprised and confused as the rest of us.

EDIT: For that matter, can someone avatarize Annie's face in Panel 5? Time to join the GC avatar crew.

I love how kinda-pissed-and-doesn't-know-why Annie looks in panel 6, like, she didn't realize she was competing until she lost and now she's mad because of who she lost to.

Or maybe cause she just lost the upper hand in the game of make out chicken.

Either way that was just great.

I don't think it's that the brain spiders permanently caused damage, more that they keep you from sleeping and remove all those pesky things like morality and empathy that keep you from acting on every impulse you have.

He was probably attracted to Zimmy before this, is what I'm saying.

Was that just a literary device, or did Annie actually make that picture of Zimmy appear with her ether stuff?

I for one resent the implication that gay people attract others by infecting them with mind spiders. It is a cheap and archaic stereotype that the LGBT community has worked hard to shake off.

I think that Jack might be lying for his own reasons. Could just to frustrate Annie into liking him, could be for mysterious jack reasons.

On an unrelated note, I wonder if Jack can still fly. We haven't seen him do that post-spider removal.

Hmmm, going back to the treatise, perhaps the spider in Antimony's hands is indicative of her role in rescuing and caring for Jack in the same way that Kat rescued and nurtured her pigeon?
