Wow, that sleep/frozen/whatever thing's a more controlled use of Zimmy's abilities than I thought possible.

Maybe none of last few strips happened in the real world, and we are currently seeing one of Kat's nightmares? It would make all of the weird elements fit in.

I don't think City Face sitting on her head would be a "nightmare".

It would make sense for this to be some Kat-based reality. After all, Gamma said that "she" needed Zimmy's help rather than "Annie" and in this strip is saying "do you want me to help" rather than "do you want me to help her". Both kind of generic statements that could be interpreted either way. That would also explain how Zimmy was able to enter the room undetected.

Maybe not a full-blown nightmare, but rather a collection of anxieties that have been weighing heavily on her mind lately? Either way, I do think that this being a dream or mental world would explain all the weird things happening.

I guess we'll only know for sure when Jeanne emerges from Annie's scar, and then Annie bursts into flames. Kat won't be able to handle it and just floats away, noting that she is developing a fondness for corpulent women.

Been meaning to post this since Plan Theta and Divine were posted, didn't turn out as good as I hoped, but I think someone will still enjoy it.



It is so delightfully absurd, I am sorely tempted. Either that or the "What things?" with Kat+CityFace. Decisions, decisions.

I just bought the CourtLogo and CityFace t-shirts for my birthday today, so a Gunnerkrigg avatar would be appropriate, I suppose?


OnTopic: No other webcomic forces me to reevaluate my appraisal of its internal reality so often while remaining totally self-consistent. Outstanding.
So... parallel personal dimension? Dreamworld? Zimmy's expertise is in the former, right?

Both at once, kinda? Zimmy's subconcious/dreams mess with reality itself.

So whatever Zimmy's doing, she needs Gamma to be away.

Gamma keeps Zimmy's... Zimmy-ness... at bay. So this is gonna get weird and scary, fast.

So I guess Zimmy actually is learning how to control her powers after all. Interesting.

Zimmy keeps looking very comfortable/confident in all these pages. Is she actually Zimmy? Then again, trolling Kat is Zimmy-like. Maybe she is just really looking forward to messing with her head?

I just find suspicious how relaxed Zimmy looks at this apparent crisis. Especially looking at the first few pages of freaky panic.

Given how she looks when Gamma's leaving, I'm certainly going with real Zimmy.

Plus it's pretty Zimmy-like to be smug when she has the upper hand over someone.

I think Zimmy might've changed Kat's question in her telepathic translation--she's been known to mislead Gamma before, after all. On the other hand, I guess that's a vaguely appropriate reaction to the question, for Gamma.

You know, maybe we should reassess Zimmy's mean mistranslations - perhaps she translated what people truly thought, instead of what they said.

Nah, Zimmy is pretty clearly a broken person and desperate to do whatever she thinks will keep Gamma with her. I kind of doubt the girls are horrible enough to think Gamma is ugly and stupid after having just met her: http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=455

Zimmy knows just what to say to strike Kat's insecurities the first time they meet back in Chapter 4 ("big nose!"). You could just write this off as Kat being particularly sensitive (she cries when she reads Batman after all) but it's also possible that part of Zimmy's telepathy is the ability to see people's mental weak points.

In fact, when she tells Gamma that everyone thinks she's ugly, she's probably reading Gamma's insecurities so she knows exactly what to say to keep Gamma from abandoning her.
