Well, "She died, and we did nothing" makes a lot more sense. She probably starved to death down there or died of heartbreak, giving Diago plenty of time to you know, actually do something.

And it's a little bit her fault too, because she made him stay in a form where he doesn't appear to have the emotional maturity or wisdom to deal with that. Which lead to him escalating, which I can't see him doing in his wolf form.

Doesn't absolve him of it but yeah, everyone's being a dick.
He wasn't trying to change into his wolf form, he was trying to pop back into an inert stuffed animal to end the conversation.

Coyote's bodyparts regrow immediately when removed (see his tooth), so it would not be inconsistent. I guess we'll have to wait for Monday to see more, but I like this a lot, because it makes sense a lot of sense with the earlier 'cover art', and Jones' interest in Jeanne.
Coyote replaced his tooth with a rock.

Having read Tom and Hussie's formspring, I can see why tom would want to dump it. The two guys take drastically different approaches to answering questions. Hussie's answers are full of hilarity and sarcasm and almost an update to the comic in themselves, Tom seems to just one word answers and it kinda seems like he sees it as a pain in the rear end.

Who's got time for hilarity when I have to answer whether or not Annie's hair colour is significant to the plot four thousand times?
I think the key is to ignore most of the questions and not take the other 5% seriously. :v:

I really like how the forest is encroaching onto Antimony and how Antimony's hair is encroaching in the same way onto Kat.

I assumed that the tracking is less used to red flag egregious movement violations then to come up as proof when something bad happens so the court can cover its rear end.

"Well little Jimmy did break his arm yesterday, but as you can clearly see by this log he was in an unauthorized area at the time, without permission, and clearly the court can't be held liable for such breaches of conduct."

Also, is it just me or is Annie actually reaching out to touch someone else (other than Kat) something of a new thing?
You might say that ever since Annie got more in touch with her fiery ancestry, she's become a little less frigid.

I really like the not-so-subtle change Tom did when drawing Janet. Aside from, you know, drawing her as a tarted up racing girl, the way he did her jawline and hair makes her look older to reflect Winsbury's absurd story.

Much like how Annie and everyone else's faces have been getting less round and childlike over time.

Transplanted from the webcomic thread:

Am I the only one who doesn't really care for City Face?

Not that it's bad, there's just really not that much to it. Plus Tom used to do guest strips in between books and I'd love to see other webcomic artists like Der-Shing Helmer and John Allison and SuperHappy put their own interpretation and style on the characters.

Plus Tom needs an actual god damned break.
You know he'd just use the break to do even more comics.

Man you guys, I started reading Gunnerkrigg sometime around Chapter 3 or 4 when a friend of mine linked me to it not too long after it started.

I have nothing but unending envy for whoever buys that City Face canvas.

These are also cool, I love Tom's tumblr and I think he is underestimating how much people would be willing to pay for these. I bet if he put some of those paintings on amazon instead of selling them at the con they would do ridiculously well. Like several hundred dollars well.

I was almost kind of hoping this would end up with Robot getting yet another body, but Shadow's new look more than makes up for it. Does this mean Shadow can move around independently in the light now, since he can cast a shadow himself?
Maybe that's why he's wearing clothes, because he still needs to be shadowed over the majority of his body.

Well, that was easy. Wasn't expecting Annie's next step into being a floaty spirit to be so easily obtained. Here's hoping that she'll be able to get back in.
I feel like Tom's been implying that Annie's spirit, when doing medium stuff, has been tethered not to her body but to the blinker stone, since she's been using it as a focus.

So I don't really foresee her having difficulty getting back into her body as being a plot point. She's just getting off the training wheels for the first time.

Given Red's reaction, I doubt the monster will be as dangerous as it seems. I think it'll be a Lindsey type deal, except rather than being a mom-like personality the worm will probably just be a big jerk.
I'm going to guess she's not going to actually summon some kind of horror. It'll probably be some kind of Mortesce illusion.

Speaking of Mort, have we ever seen him while Annie was in the spirit whatever?

What is that object above Jones' head in the fourth panel? I remember seeing symbols/objects like that before, like when Annie was on her way to meet the forest people with Ysengrin before she stayed there the summer. Probably in some other instances too.
The first thing I thought is it is some sort of etheric string and Jones is being controlled remotely, like a puppet.

This is probably not what it is.
