www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1027Thought processes when looking at this page: Why are they baking, and why Jimmy Jims so relaxed now? I forgot that Jones hasn't got her phone back. ;D Edit: Just noticed the text in Anja's box. Since when is baking distracting, and could it distract Jones?

Jones is expressive as usual. A little too much this time, if I may.

Baking is pretty attention grabbing.

I would love it if this turns into a brick joke and sometime later we hear about the call Jones was unable to make.

'Distracted by baking' is an absolutely hilarious phrase.
I will love this comic always and forever.

It didn't really sink in for me for a while but with today's page and this page I think we can safely speculate that the Donlans can send each other mail via Anja's nifty computer. Brain mail. |

I don't know about safely speculate, but it's certainly an interesting theory! We married folks can communicate quite a bit in a glance, you know.  It may be that Mrs. Donlan just knows of her husband's liking for the etheric door, and a glance and nod would be enough to say, "Hon, you can see she's not having a great time with this. Distract them somehow and I'll get her out of here." She may have no idea about the rocket or anything, but trust that her husband is taking good care of Annie -- as he may have no idea about the baking distraction. (Things they may both share with each other at home and laugh about later.) But either way, the Donlan's are a very cool couple. Awesome toys which they don't abuse (too much, anyways) and always looking out for their friends and family. They are my favorites. ;D |

But then how would she know that Donny and Annie are on their way back?
My first though when reading panel 3 was that they can communicate telepathically via the magic computer. If it has a phone tracing program, it probably has a text editor.

Talking etherically, kind of like Gamma and Zimmy or maybe like, pulling their etheric selves out so they can shout to each other.

I don't know if it was just me, but I thought it was a cute couple thing instead of a magic thing. She just KNOWS *Stereotyped lovey pose*

Elgs is way too big to be an good baker, his hands are probably always around 38c, his doe is going to be so mushy!

It seems like something she'd think if she'd deduced it rather than been told it. Like if for instance she had internal access to the ethereal computer's activity log and knew all teleported equipment had been returned.

Is it me or Jones looks really sad lately? I don't think she looks too different from usual. Is the "she remembers all the numbers" thing canon? If so, that implies that whatever she is, it comes with being incredibly good at remembering things. |

Didn't Tom say something about "subvocal speech" or something like that, concerning comic [1006] I think by Subvocal speech he means sending signals with body language and stuff, which seeing as there a lovey couple they probably pick them up quite easily. |

Tom just wanted an excuse to draw everyone in a chef's hat. Except for Jones, of course. He knows we would just downright explode if he did that.

If it has a phone tracing program, it probably has a text editor. Another possibility: she's in constant contact with the computer by some means, and knows which programs are invoked when. So she noted the various objects Donald had summoned have been returned. |
