Re: Gunnerkrigg Court
A bit disappointed by the fat joke, but I guess sort of saved by the lighthearted reply?
Proverbs 9:7-8 wrote:Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return. Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt. So don't bother correcting mockers; they will only hate you.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court
I didn't read it as fat, but as the word she uses for "big". She is much heavier than before (probably).

It feels like Annie is still trying to work out just who, and what, she is. Good thing she has people like Ysengrin to help her out.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court
That reminds me, an interview showed up in my feeds today.
Re: Gunnerkrigg Court
Ah ah today's first comment was an Akira reference.
Re: Gunnerkrigg Court
so...this is a thing
I can't help but feel that this project of Kat's is going to end up being extremely significant, quite possibly further explaining why the robots call her "Angel"
or perhaps that's just because of the way she looks to Zimmy
in any case, we are meddling with forces we don't understand here, and sooner or later something's gotta give
...forgive me for I am rambling

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court
I just love how Annie, Andrew, and Parley are such good friends. Especially considering how much the court has been screwing with Annie and pitting her against the two of them.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court
[Good gravy] I love this new page.
Not to just delight in ragging on Carver. I know I've done it before. With some more distance from it and it being clear that other characters see his flaws, it's easier to feel sorry for the guy. His seemingly unerring ability to find the worst possible approach to any problem is definitely tragic, but it's also within his ability to at least attempt to mitigate, and the collateral damage is only piling higher. Anyway, this page is [absolutely delightful] regardless.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court
I'm really engaged in what's going on right now. I'm not entirely sure what that is, but it's engaging. Seems like the people at the Gunnerkrigg forums have some ideas, but I haven't read those threads thoroughly enough.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court
I just hope it actually get resolved this time and not reshelved until a later time again. Annie already hit another snag, it seems.
Re: Gunnerkrigg Court
This whole storyline is very anxiety-inducing. I keep wanting to see the next page while also being worried about what will be there.

It's kind of amazing how well they prepared for this. I suppose we'll have to see how it ends before I can say that confidently...

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court
At this point I'd like to remind that after Chapter 59 concluded with a thrilling cliff-hanger, we had once again our two-weeks-worth of Awesome Cool Pigeons, and we are now back with Chapter 60. With webcomics and other serial fiction it's always hard to tell, but this might actually be a third act of the whole story, or at last one of the main subplots.
Re: Gunnerkrigg Court
Well that's quite a revelation...

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court
layin it on thicker though, I'd give Annie a break here. especially about Smitty - she left him there to talk with the dudes who could 100% save his life, who knows what doctors are up to.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court
Yeah I agree. I wonder what direction the comic will go to now. Looks like there's going to be some Coyote shenanigans, but one of the biggest plot points has been resolved.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court
Red makes many valid points but one that I don't think is valid (but maybe Red can't know that) is Anyway loving the way Tom suddenly jarred me out of the Annie-as-good-guy-POV with almost as much force as Annie was jarred herself by the outburst. Red's parting comment is of course utterly unfair* but also loved the way she didn't hesitate to call Annie on her shit.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court
I didn't make the connection they didn't ask her mom for anything, but I did think they might have been manipulating her. I should read the comics from the start again, it's been a really long time and I've forgotten a lot. It seems like we're heading to the end (which is an obvious statement I suppose).

I just started this comic early Sunday morning and finished it early morning today, so most of this is fresh in my mind. It seems less like they are manipulating her (at least in any sinister way) and more like they want to be her guides or mentors, and have done this to bring her closer to them. In the end I doubt she will be going away to work exclusively for them, but may help out in certain situations.
I'm quite hopeful that we aren't nearing the end, there's so much more to wrap up and I've just fallen in love with this universe.

I'm glad she's bringing Kat's mom into this, I think she can offer a welcome perspective. I was also pretty shocked that Kat felt so comfortable with him...

This arc with Surma is really something. Not sure what I think about it, or her. I suppose we don't have a lot of details on Surma's relationships with other people (kept vague for spoilery).
