Isn't it only when they're communicating telepathically? Maybe it's meant to signify that their minds are joined.

The boxes square off when it's their thought bubbles (and always get a line joined to their heads), but Zimmy/Gamma have a purple tint to their boxes even when speaking out loud.

Poor Zimmy, literally just sitting there looking at kids having fun and thinking "wow they all must hate me". Literally also me at that age.

On a more serious note. If Zimmy fused them, then that means there's another Anniless timeline out there.

Huh. I kind of hope this is just more Zimmie perception weirdness, I liked the two Annies and don’t think I’d be happy with a resolution where they just fuse into one with no buildup.

Same! I completely missed the clue in the clothing. I wonder which Annie Tony will interpret this as (my hunch is that Tony will still be awkward around double-Annie :smith: )

Interested to see what the fallout of this will be. Annie does not look happy to have, essentially, lost her sister.

I find myself repeatedly unsatisfied with the way subplots end up getting resolved in this comic.

Edit: Tom spent so much time building up a compelling separate identity and dynamic for the pair of Annies that this feels like self-sabotage.

I've never had as much of an issue with the resolutions before in the comic as some of you but this is the single worst way this could have been resolved there is literally no drama or stakes to the merge just oh it's happened, and what makes it especially bad is that I had stated to believe that this would be one of the few times a character gets duplicated and stick around...

It has been nearly 2 years and four months since Court Annie was introduced. Finally resolving your plot threads, Tom!

(also, it is wild going back and seeing people itt melting down just before that thinking Loup wiped everyone's memories of Annie)

It’s three panels can we maybe wait another update or two before flipping our poo poo?

It's not really a satisfying resolution to merge them back together in the middle of a massive argument with no outcome.

Three panels involving a character and situation that routinely involves playing with our perceptions of characters, and the character's perceptions of themselves and other characters. IF the two Annie situation is resolved like this, I will be very disappointed, but assuming that it is now resolved, when Zimmy is right there, seems premature.

I don't think this is the resolution of the two Annies - "I know something that will help Carver understand herself better" and Zimmy's previous questioning of who would disappear hints to me that this is meant to teach Annie that she would be genuinely disappointed if the other Annie wasn't in her life anymore as an independent being.
Also "it might be nice if they both stuck around" - I don't think Zimmy or Gamma would be in a hurry to blend them.

Pitch: on the next page, another Annie will appear with the same hair length and a slightly different outfit fusion, and their memories are scrambled enough that they don't know which is which. Cue the two of them realizing that they're fundamentally the same person and their argument about Surma was just them making an internal struggle into an external one. Also Tony gets weird about it.
