Enjoy! [775]Edit: Interesting, guess this is the making of the ravine. Seems important... |

Reynardine plush means I completely lost interest in this page.
Nah, actually the page is great. But seriously: Plush.

Hang on... Renard? I thought he wasn't around back then. Didn't he say he didn't arrive until 'later'? EDIT: Never mind. On the releveant page (584), he implies he arrived at the same time as Coyote, who was obviously around for the divide because he caused it. So, disregard. |

I wonder if there is any symbolism in the red dress. Also poor Jeanne looks kinda serene, (note the eyebrows) for what's going/happening to her.  |

Which raises an interesting point,
Does Renard know about Jeanne past and her tragic romance? if so why didn't he say anything to Kat and Annie when they found Jeannie memorial? or later when they found Diego's recording?
His analysis of Diego and Jeanne from their portraits was bang on, maybe he knew of them after all.

Poor Jeanne and her Elf boy. Gorgeous page as always.

My only response to that author comment was:
... *snort*
Also I agree with the Flat Stanley idea. I'll no doubt be getting myself a Reynard plush when they're available and shall take a picture of him seated upon the mighty Mendenhall Glacier. And then I'll sneak him into work and be the first to post Renard In A Metallurgy Lab and Renard At A Goldmine. Who's up to beat me, eh?? ;D

Later, he shares Annie's interest in the historic image of Deigo. So he seems to genuinely not know about this. |

This is when Coyote divides things and Jeanne and Greenguy are on the opposite sides when it happens. Now looking back at yesterday's comic, it looks as if Coyote is looking at Young and his forest counterpart, and Steadman and his forest counterpart, and sees no union, just squabbling and thus divides them. I think the lovers went unnoticed by Coyote. I can't see him minding their relationship at least. |

Renard probably knows about Coyote creating the ravine, but he probably really does have no idea who Jeanne is. She may not have been an important Court figure at first. And since Renard repeatedly refers to "whatever the Court did" to create their own divide, he really wouldn't know anything about the plot and Jeanne.

Idea: ghost Jeanne is holding a grudge against both the Forest (for the division) and the Court (for killing her).
Ninja-Edit: also, this chapter works great if you play Wagner's prelude to Tristan und Isolde while reading it.

WTF?! That is here doing Reynard?! Very interesting page. P.S.: Gorgeous page. Idea: ghost Jeanne is holding a grudge against both the Forest (for the division) and the Court (for killing her). Ninja-Edit: also, this chapter works great if you play Wagner's prelude to Tristan und Isolde while reading it. Hm... So Jeanne is the interdiction reason to come nearer and-or leave school territory? And what territory (not considering the bridge) near breakage become empty, and nobody goes there? |

I think, swords means that here was some war conflict.
With victims, possibly.
Also: It's sad page... Poor, poor Jeanne...

Jeanne looks good in red. She should wear it more often. It's much better than that ghastly white thing, which is just awful with her current complexion.

Theory: elf boy used to be human, but turned to the side of the forest. Hence why Diego called him a traitor.

Is it of any significance that elf guy still has Ysengrin and Reynardine with him, but Jeanne has only swords?

I think the lovers went unnoticed by Coyote. I can't see him minding their relationship at least. Same here... I don't think Coyote would cause the division because of Jeanne's romance. Maybe he separated the Court and the Forest in order to take the humans out of his way so he could rule the Forest peacefully? Or is this just wild nonsense? Btw, Ysengrin reminds me of a Great White Shark in that picture. ;D |

I'm not sure about this page, I waited for friday with baited breath, and in all honesty I only got a kinda filler page, sure it has symbolism but I guess that's just impatient me wanting action But it's a beautiful page with lovely art, and I'm sure the next page will totally make up for it  I believe the swords are a reminder of the civil 'wars' within the court, and maybe as her warrior-hood. |

This page is confirming the story that Coyote told Annie, and showing it from the point of view of someone who was an eye-witness to the event that happened hundreds of years ago. Sorry if you feel it's "just" a filler page.
BTW the word is "bated".

You're absolutely correct but its written in error so often, they might make the error the actual version. No one uses the word 'bate' except in this expression. Its a contraction of the word 'abate' www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-bai1.htmUm...have I mentioned I'm a geek? |

But she only cared very much for the former. My question is, what (or who) is the blue and purple counterpart to the Great Spirit? A moon god? Oh dear, did Annie accidentally defile someone's temple? |

There isn't a representation of the Great Spirit. It's the sun and the moon, both of which are used in the treatises to represent to Wood and the Court, respectively.

I kind-of feel like the swords are representing the people from court who keep her from going to the forest. If they were the swords she keeps and uses they probably wouldn't be pointed at her.
