So, is this like some kind of boarding-school tradition? Everybody sneaks out at night to hold Who Is The Worst At Accurately Reading Social Cues And Responding Appropriately competitions? (for the record, my estimation in decreasing order of skill: William > Kat > Normal Person > Annie > Matt > Jack > me at their age > Paz)

I'm a relative neophyte -- I learned about it when it won Best Comic from the Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards in '09. I read through it pretty ravenously, but then it joined my List Of Very Good Comics I Stopped Reading But Shouldn't Have And Really Need To Catch Up On At Some Point for a while (man there are way too many of those), but then, well, YOU PEOPLE reminded me how drat awesome it is and I started following it regularly again.

Wait. Wait wait wait. Gunnerkrigg Court is a school, right? The school where Annie and Kat and everybody else goes is just called Gunnerkrigg Court. And the vast maybe-abandoned-maybe-not urban cityscape where it's located is ALSO just called Gunnerkrigg Court? Implying that the only purpose any of it is being put toward is as a boarding school, which can't possibly be utilizing all that real estate? This is confusing because I've never really thought it through before.

I like having title text, though  Something along the lines of "i don't hate anyone" would be an obvious candidate, but I keep getting silly urges to write something about a cyber-wired bundle of joy instead (warning: terrible South Park fanart in video, but the song is cute). There's probably something wrong with me.

Vorpal Cat posted:Yes but can the worm celebrate properly once he crushes past his opposition and reaches his destination? I hope not, I can only think of a few things in this situation that it could spike like a football  To explain this derail to those who are befuddled and annoyed at the repeated references and injokes, Rob Gronkowski, or "Gronk" as he is affectionately known, is an American football player for the New England Patriots (who will be playing in the Super Bowl in a week and a half) who is notoriously difficult to bring down without him running at least another five yards or even bring down at all due to being generally huge and running really fast and also he is good at catching things. Generally speaking a giant etheric worm monster is probably a pretty good thing to symbolize him.

Aceofblue posted:I made those nicknames when I was 21 and didn't have a car to get to the store. I think I kept doing it as I got older, too, it's just that the frequency of my headcanon nicknames being simply "that guy" or "that girl" kept rising as I got older and less imaginative. The only other one that comes to mind is a couple of people in college I kept seeing around but never spoke to, who I called "George and Lennie" due to their apparent inseparability and considerable size disparity, and because by that point I'd graduated from jerkhood to pretentiousness.

Remains to be seen if Jack can bleagh-close before Gamma shows up or he might have to go AMOG on her! I hate that I know what any of this means

Brannock posted:Anyway, it's totally gonna be Smitty. Y'know, it really should be Smitty. I know, Annie's the main character, and she's been communing with the forest the whole time and she has a nice rapport going on with Coyote and even with Ysengrin sometimes and etc etc etc. But Smitty's the obvious choice. The guy's mutant power is making everything perfectly safe and orderly and reasonable, right? Guys, that is the perfect power for diplomacy. Smitty doesn't even need training. Nobody's ever tried to kill him, and I doubt they could. If Ysengrin tried to impale him on a woodspike or something, it'd spontaneously turn into a large toothpick and pry out a popcorn kernel that had been stuck between Smitty's incisors.

Y'know, as much as I'd like to claim credit for totally calling the loving poo poo out of this development, something about the "Furthermore..." gives me the wild notion that this is all a Dream Sequence Fake-Out. "Furthermore, Carver's performance as Medium candidate has been so abysmal that she is to be banned completely from both Forest AND Court, and sent to live at the sealed-off Boxbot monastery inside Zimmy's subconscious! This wouldn't have happened if you'd simply remembered to study for that final exam you have in five minutes, Carver! Or at LEAST remembered to wear pants today!" Then everybody starts laughing.

Another thought: Nobody's actually said anything bad about Annie, her abilities, or her record yet. All the headmaster has said on the subject is "Smitty is the medium. No, not Annie. Smitty. Yeah, I know, it's bonkers, but trust me. It's Smitty." It's possible that all this means is Annie has been granted another important Court/Forest relations job, or some Court position, which the Court decided was a better fit for her than Medium. Everybody settle down and let the man finish. e: For the record, if it is something like this, they might not even get around to telling her until after the ceremony is over, quietly, in private. Hope that doesn't mess Annie up too badly.

Tea-san, that letter had better be from a girl, or so help me I will tweet at you so hard  Perestroika posted:Or maybe it's from Tony who wants to get another message to Donny. Really though this is the funniest possibility. Tony has plenty of legitimate avenues of communication; he just prefers the method of repeatedly loving around with his daughter's emotions and social life. No particular reason, really. By the end of the comic she's going to be completely desensitized. "Wow, Annie, it looks like your admissions letter from Mysterious Sci-Fi University, Magic Forest Campus finally came! Isn't this just so exciting?" "Probably not." "Uh... aren't you going to open it?" "Why bother?" "Well that's just silly! Here, I'll do it! Ahem. 'Antimony. Z QJFO WLXRT NPOALJE PMFNZRJ SFPJE DOIGVM'... what the hell?" "Burn it."
