Tom you devil
Also, Tom posted a note, in case you missed it. I hope you've enjoyed the story so far, and will continue to follow along to see what happens next.
Working on the comic is a big part of my life right now, and I hope I am able to keep working on it until it is finished. The words of encouragement from the audience, and the people I've met along the way have been great motivators for me to keep at it. Maybe this year will be the year I can make it into something more than a hobby.
If you feel the comic has some value, or you just want to help support it, please consider making a donation.

And of course that makes this chapter of EQUAL LENGTH with S1, missing the opportunity to write the longest Gunnerkrigg Court chapter ever!
(Also Tom it's a very beautiful page please don't ban me)

That is not fair Tom! I demand to see a gathering of all the animals in the forest (think beginning of The Lion King)!
On another note, any ideas where and when the next chapter will begin from? Because it is likely we are not going to see the majority of the time Annie has spent in the forest (apart from flashbacks).

I'm wishing I had a credit card right now. There's no much else I can do for the comic than recommending it to wealthy people.

Me the moment the clock strikes midnight: Oh, boy, we finally get to see all the animals and the forest and-nooooooo! Agh, it's so pretty but nooooo. Maybe I'm just tired, I'll just rub my eyes and look aga-nooooooo! BUT, I'm pretty much sure that this is my newest favorite page. The reflective leaves, Annie's expression and hair, the shading, absolutely gorgeous! She must be seeing something pretty awesome to be that dumbstruck so I'm guessing once she's back, she'll have changed a lot over the summer. More in tune with her emotions maybe? Hm?

Wow. I kinda flat-lined when I saw the page and that it's the last of the chapter.
It's a very beautiful page, by the way. I love Annie's 'disheveled' look.
Does it count as a 'donation' if I buy Orientation? (I've just discovered that I can get it via Amazon.de.)

We will never know what she is looking at. It's Marcellus Wallace's soul. I've said it before and I'll say it again: GC is the best webcomic I know of.

Indeed i have bought both books. currently contemplating the purchase of shirts.
If i had to guess, the comic might take a little 'summer' break. again methinks we will be seeing Annie in the 'fall', facing the repercussions of this unplanned summer camping trip. My money is going to the "Annie gets transferred to Chester House".

On the upside, nothing in Tom's note suggests that he will be taking vacation (as i feared) So maybe Wed will be a brand new chapter it's a pity i got nothing but student loans to donate :S

I also wanted to add my encouragement to Tom. I've already got both books, and I will be purchasing any other GC books as soon as they come out. I made up my mind about that a while ago.

This chapter should be called 'the Cliffhanger pages'.
Absolutely beatiful page today. And yes, I am going to donate again. I pay for comics that are half the quality of GC, so why not lend a hand eh?

So we get this, plus a new treatise (and, therefore, a new book)? Oh, Tom, you spoil us.
Also, curse you. And my young age, too.

it's a pity i got nothing but student loans to donate :S I feel your pain. I swear as soon as I get money that is my own, I will buy both books. I HAD hope that we would see some of the forest critters, but at least Tome gave us an AMAZING page to look at. ^_^ I would buy the hell out of this if it were a print. I second that motion!

I have to say, now I have calmed down, that the level of detail in this page is unbelievable. Tom just keeps getting better and better, especially noticeable if you compare this page and page 2 of the web comic. The wide eyed look Annie is showing is amazing. Also, any ideas when the third book will be released and what the subtitle will be?

By no demand at all, this chapter's sequence of events in full:
Unpleasant revelations, walking, awkward teenage interaction, more walking, cheating, anger, EXTREMELY unpleasant revelations, emotional breakdown, running through an MC Escher hell-scape, fireball vs. purple chalk,
*Deep Breath*
crying, walking in the woods with Chuckles, flashback, Coyote, even more revelations (mostly unpleasant), summer stay offer, acceptance of offer, time stop, hand-chop threat, more Chuckles (nicer this time), splash page and abrupt ending.
Cue treatise.
Woo, this one was packed. Can't wait for the rest.

A little bit off topic... I'm really looking forward to know which scene we'll get as the link to the chapter in the list (you know, the little square-ish captures from every chapter).

Aww! Cliffhanger. But it makes sense something like this would happen after the stuff we got in this chapter.
Looking forward to seeing the finished treatise.
