I dunno about any of that, but Gamma basically just said we'll get mirror universe Evil Kat at some point.

As a Patron I'll just say it's really good and Tom will release it on the site at some point and I know for drat sure you're going to gasp and go "oh nooo" and get all kinds of feels.

Something I love about this comic that's pretty low key is the placement of text bubbles. So many web comics (and even print comics) don't put much thought into their placement, and just throw them wherever there's space. Gunnerkrigg is one of the few that seems to really put thought and effort into their placement to ensure they flow and are easily readable in the correct order. They work with the art towards the flow of the page to lead the eye around properly. It's something that bothers me when it's done poorly, so it's nice to see it done so well.

It makes sense, since Kat sees the ether differently (breaking everything down to "how it functions" and eschewing all the pomp and circumstance) and it's mentioned on this page that the Court was making a different way of "seeing the unseen world."

Kat's way of seeing the ether is definitely something the Court would love to have.

So who do we think Mr car guy is? He's the only one with a face, and he seems to have Zimmy's eyes. He also looks concerned for her.

Of course, this is trusting Zimmy's perception.

Tom still hasn't released the sequel to Traveller where the puppy is okay, so he's still a jerk.

If there is no such sequel, lie to me.

I loved this too. And the "reveal" of it being blood was cool. A lot of great visuals in Zim Grim.

Ok, I'm glad you pointed that out. I thought I was going crazy. I saw the ad, and thought I somehow missed the book release.


And yep about the stock. I paid a not-crazy-but-decent-amount to buy a used copy of volume 1 and 2 for my niece for her birthday.

You sorta did but you aren't alone. So, it seems, did Tom, who you may recognize is noteworthy for being the guy who made the book. Thanks Archaia!

Wait is Zimmy and Gamma the same person? Or was it just for this weird sequence? I'm getting the impression that Zimmy split her personality and manifested a double.

No? I think Zimmy and Gamma are just next to each other and uh going fast and/or distorting the ether around them to move somewhere. Presumably to where the Annies are.

As best I can tell, Zimmy and Gamma have always had the same text box color, speaking or thinking. Or is that the confusion?

Man, Gamma secretly being Zimmy’s desire for comfort made manifest and not actually being real would be pretty hosed up. Is everyone’s text box unique? I guess I assumed their boxes were the same because of how they communicate telepathically.

Far as I can tell, Zimmy/Gamma are the only ones with a different text box style. Not even Coyote's is different. Or Jeanne. Or Loup.

Sorry I should have been more specific. I meant the color of the box. There are at least a few different box styles. The robots have an angular box shape, for example. And android Arthur is a cross between the angular robot box and the standard box.
