Y'know from certain angles on this page Idra does resemble a certain girl who also cut her hair a while back, which is a notable event in a girl's life.

I can't help but see a parallel between when Annie was complaining about her dad to Loup and Eggs complaining about Tony to Idra.

Idra as a physical embodiment of Annie's Id is a fun idea. Idra in the Court, Annie in the Forest. Who would be the Ego and who'd be the Superego then?

Please give Eglamore at least one healthy romantic relationship. Him accidentally dating Annie's Alter Ego would be even worse than Jones.

Dude I hope his love life just keeps getting worse until he decides to become celibate, it's the only way to be sure he'll stop being a chump

Donald is forgetting something crucial about the way Tony handles being confronted directly, methinks.

Does he? I think the webcomics established pretty well that talking to Tony alone is basically the best way to get something approaching a normal response from him, as long as he doesn't have some weird hangup with you like he does with Annie. However there is a possibility he does have a weird hangup with Jones, considering what she is and how he thinks about such phenomena. On the other hand, there is also a chance that he doesn't even consider Jones to be a real person and will be super cordial and open with her.

Has Idra been aged up? I originally thought she was in her 20's but the recent comics make it almost seem like she is the same age as the adults, so about 40's?

The way Idra is being drawn is very weird, and you are not the only one who feels like her apparent age oscillates between 20's and 40's, depending on the panel and how much detail Tom decides to give to her face (because in her case, "detail" usually means "wrinkles and lines")

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


Idra got a severe face beating, remember. Those might be scars.

Don't forget that this is a "flashback", the chapter started with Jones talking to Annie while her dad hid in a building next to them.

I have a theory that Jones is actually Annie, through Zimmery.

Don't ask me how that works with what we've seen, but that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Unsurprisingly, it's Tony who is the one who has realized that (at least one) entire person has been lost thanks to this, since he basically always considered them separate people.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
Tony is wrong. He lost two daughters.

This sounds like you're suggesting that all of Tony's reactions are 'normal' and 'human'. To which I believe the only proper response is: lol

The other person that looked like his daughter came back from the forest and then ate his daughter. It is very traumatizing.

He's talking in net values, he lost two daughters and gained a third.
