At what age did Eggers start dying his hair black!?

Also I'm now officially a Patron of the Arts which makes me feel like way more sophisticated, but didn't go through to the wallpaper download page. How does one amend this?

My hair looked similar to that color in my early teens, but it's now almost jet black in my mid-20s. Maybe the same thing happened to him :iiam:

It's actually a pretty common occurrence for some people. It just darkens and darkens until it's no longer what anyone could describe as brown.

Yeah, my hair was practically white until I was 7 or 8 and then it turned light brown/dirty blonde depending who you ask.

On topic, I'm really excited to see where this goes. I feel like it's gotta be a Zimmy dream or something, what with the talking pigeons and everything.

No only did my hair get darker and darker as I got older, it got curlier as well.

I'd like to learn more about Gamma, actually. How did she get to the Court from Poland(?)? How does she dampen Zimmy's powers?

Unlikely to have lived long in (and much less born on) the UK, though, considering she doesn't even know basic English.

I don't know if the wall being almost the same color as the center of the portrait is awesome, or if you should just repaint the wall and possibly redo the color scheme of the whole room. Anything to make Coyote happy.

Tom, when you sell these online you better wear earplugs because I will personally throw money at you so fast it breaks the sound barrier.

For the record, he doesn't own these. Nor does he own that awesome blue wall. They are pictures from Tom's tumblr.

They are canvases for the London MCM convention.

That last panel of the new page is beautiful. The contrasted shading styles is wonderful, and Zim Zimmer's shadow are cool. I am also wondering what the hell is up with Annie.

The last panel reminds me of how Coyote preserved the body of Reynard.

I've been looking for that comic for the past seven minutes.

Well that's... that's interesting. Why would the forest (or not being in the forest) be making Annie sick?

Or perhaps Annie is just sick and dreaming about the forest, though I'd expect a Zimmy-dream to have more relevance than that.

Also, like everyone else said, the art is great. The dirt on Zimmy's sleeve is a great detail.

If it was a Zimmy-dream wouldn't she have her Birmingham clothes on? She's still in her normal outfit in the forest.

I think the court hospital and her connection to the forest are keeping Annie alive. We know that a body could be kept alive through special means even without a soul present. Just look at Reynard.

Then again I'm the guy who argued that Jones wasn't a soul-less golom because goloms weighed less and had personalities.

Now that you mention it, Annie's colours look a little dull (not just the face, but the hair as well).

Maybe she's just gone to practice with coyote in the ethereal world for a while

If that's the case, it's not very considerate of her to not tell Kat first. <:mad:>

I've loved Gunnerkrigg's art since the beginning, football-head Annie and all (in fact, I think that early art was pretty distinctive and had a lot of charm on its own) but the comic's really been looking extra fabulous lately. I can't wait for Weird Zimmy Imagery. :allears:
