Great page as usual. Hope the plot will progress in this chapter, but with Coyote shenanigans taking central stage, I'm not too sure that will be the case.

You do not abandon a tool just because it is undignified. You save it for appropriate occasions.

Besides, what fun is manipulating people if they can't even tell they're being manipulated.

Coyote is actually just a plain old domestic dog pretending to be a coyote because they're cooler.

Still a god, though.

I still don't trust Coyote, especially considering that look in his eye on panel 2. He's certainly up to something, and I fear he may be playing the long con with Annie to get her to drop her guard around him.

Oh I see! This must be the Bad Opinion Zone!
Maybe the secret is that if you learn a secret of Coyote's, you enter into an obligation, magical enforced, to keep it...

My sense here is that Ysengrin is worried for Annie's sake...

It's that in college Coyote always ate pizza with a knife and fork. Ysengrin doesn't want the story out because back then he was going through a neck beard phase.

Coyote broke the forth wall to help future-Annie narrate. He is indeed very powerful.

I wonder if Annie actually told any stories, or if Coyote just started narrating at the fourth wall immediately after the events of the last page...

Also, drat your cliffhanger, Tom.

If anyone wants to animate the odd frame from last Friday here's a rough job of the important bits snipped out. Can't think of anything myself though.

That'd look pretty neat animated like one of the pokemon from B/W. I suck at it, though.

Wow, Coyote is so powerful he can see the reader.

(I do like that this was done with the character for whom it's entirely plausible that he'd just narrate to a nonexistent audience anyway)

So, this chapter is a story about Coyote telling a story about Annie telling a story about Coyote.

I suspect Coyote's secret relates to Ysengrin's ear.

Going on a rant here for a moment, but Coyote breaking the fourth wall is something that does not work and I hope we'll never see again. It took me away from the story immediately. Coyote can take the mooon out of the sky, create a whole race of people, make a sword out of a tooth, or split into bits and untangle himself in impossible ways. That's great, that's what we love about him. But he is part of a story, and breaking the fourth wall to remind me that I am indeed reading a story is not something I wanted to see. It's not clever and is passé as hell now that everyone and their dog already did it.

And even if he was being "so meta" that he was merely pretending to break the fourth wall, it still breaks the flow. Sorry for being picky like this, but this really annoyed me. It broke the flow. Do not break the flow -- it feels like a posh orchestra being interrupted by a bunch of hooligans with vuvuzelas. And I have a headache now.

^ Tea's appearances are between chapters though, they do not break the flow of the story since they are made only when the flow is already broken.

Agreed, though I didn't let it bother me as much as it did. I suppose there could have been a better way to skip through all the story-telling (a purely graphical, like two or three panels in place of the first showing the sun's passage through the sky for instance), but we're about to learn Coyote's Great Secret here so I'd rather focus on that.

I think you're crazy and it worked great. It's a very Coyote thing to do, and I don't see how it broke the flow at all. Plus that second panel is just hilarious. if it was any other character I could understand this complaint a little bit, but not Coyote.

Not to mention he didn't actually break the fourth wall.

edit: It's like the ending of part1 of Who Shot Mr. Burns. When Dr. Hibbert goes "We can't solve this mystery. Can YOU?" and is pointing at the camera. But then it reveals he's actually pointing at Chief Wiggum.
