Behind a smoke colored curtain the girl disappeared, they found out the ring was a fake. A tree born crooked will never grow straight, she sunk like a hammer in to the lake. A long lost letter and an old leaky boat, promises I never meant to keep. And I want to know the same thing I want to know How's it going to end? The barn leaned over, the vultures dried their wings, the moon climbed up an empty sky. The sun sank down behind the tree on the hill There's a killer and he's coming thru the rye But maybe he's the Father of that lost little girlIt's hard to tell in this light And I want to know the same thing Everyone wants to know How's it going to end?

Second to last panel, I get the vibe that Zimmy isn't too happy with Carver's Dad now, either.

The whatever happening here has gotten intense, I'm guessing she'll wake up all "no, dad! why did you do this!?"
[That's some nice stuff you got there tattat, where's it from?]

Oh, poor kat. Poor Annie. Poor, hate filled head pigeon. Also, if there were absolutely no truth to Paz's allegations, it would not be affecting kat so badly. Like, I was prepared to accept that explanation until this page right here. Oh man, I hope she and Annie talk it out soon. I hate that headband.

You had that all ready to go, didn't you? :-P
No answers today.
I have been of the opinion that Kat is straight, but that was quite the awkward almost-caress.

The whatever happening here has gotten intense, I'm guessing she'll wake up all "no, dad! why did you do this!?" [That's some nice stuff you got there tattat, where's it from?] It is from the dulcet tones of the esteemed Mister Waits.

So... he is doing something?
Might be a bit early to start jumping to conclusions but still... what a douche!
Science Journal Entry #113 Today I tested out my new bone laser on my daughter, but it was interrupted by a strange demon girl. I am working on the issue and should have the laser recalibrated for further invasive testing within 1 centicycle.

It might be a little early to judge, but yes I agree. Only quasi-related: In the flashback sequences (and the later thingamajigs), I always thought that people, especially that one dude (Eagle something?), were being a little too harsh on Anthony. Now I can see why some of them, especially that guy (Eagle...more?) disliked him so much. After everything so far, it would probably really pleasant to see someone beat Tony down. Even if we get some kind of amazing twist that makes him out to be an OK guy.

At least we don't have to worry about Zimmy making fun of her. She may have went through the same confusion when she realized she had feelings for Gamma.

Oh Kat, Zimmy won't judge you! Also, this chapter has the best Kat expressions ever.
So we got the confirmation that her dad is doing something to cause this, but nothing yet on what he's trying to do. I'm not ready to ditch the last chapter's "Tony loves Annie but is extremely awkward" lesson yet so I'll assume whatever he's got going on should be beneficial. I'm also a little worried if Zimmy just ending the procedure (or whatever it is) like that is going to cause other problems.

I wish everyone had head pigeons forever.
Anthony was working diligently for over a decade to try and save Surma's life. Surma's death was due to the fire elemental essence that now, apparently, is pinned by Anthony bone things. I have to think that whatever has happened to Antimony has to do with that research, if it is in fact Anthony's fault.
Kat reaching for Antimony was heartbreaking. Are worries about being labeled gay stopping Kat from expressing her worry for Antimony naturally? So tragic.

Sheesh being accused of being gay was really funny when it happened to me. (I find being in a relationship with anyone annoying, so people including my G-ma assumed i was gay) I even thought it was funny when it happened to Kat, but now its just sad.
She wants to show affection like she normally does but is so afraid of what others think and probably her own confused feeling, that she cant even bring herself to touch Annie. It very tearjerky.
Also surprised nobody commented in the fact that ZIMMY IS FREAKING USING HER POWERS ON PURPOSE. i thought she couldn't control them?

I have a feeling that one day we indeed will see whether Tony is as punch-resistant as Muut. Physically and verbally. Behind a smoke colored curtain the girl disappeared, they found out the ring was a fake. ... Did you eat any magicked up cherries on breakfast? Yeah, I want to see her pull some voodoo doll stuff on Tony, remind him that he has a daughter. It might be a little early to judge, but yes I agree. [...] After everything so far, it would probably really pleasant to see someone beat Tony down. Even if we get some kind of amazing twist that makes him out to be an OK guy. A-a-and... for a change... Anthony is doing something very important now (he just requested a box of scalpels via hyperspeed delivery, after all), so Annie scolds her upon return. Simply because the dramedy of misunderstandings - that would be easily avoidable if anyone (especially Tony) ever tried - evidently must go on. (sigh) At least we don't have to worry about Zimmy making fun of her. She may have went through the same confusion when she realized she had feelings for Gamma. Sure thing. It's not like she ever had bigger problems than a teen soap opera... I'm not ready to ditch the last chapter's "Tony loves Annie but is extremely awkward" lesson yet so I'll assume whatever he's got going on should be beneficial. I'm also a little worried if Zimmy just ending the procedure (or whatever it is) like that is going to cause other problems. May well be. I'd think he would do anything important personally and not via weird remotes, though. I still suspect it's because Annie misuses a Blinker. Normally, she would terminate the connection, at least with an effort, but may have get into something equally or more messed up and jury-rigged. Possibly, even voluntarily. For one, Annie is weakened, but in her dreams she didn't panic or suffer. And it's still enigmatic what the whiteleg is going on with the elemental and bonecables. We may find out she merely dropped in on some space surgery and chose to make contact, provide telekinetic assistance, and not mention she feels uneasy until the sudden, but inevitable collapse. The last part obviously is not a smart thing to do, yet would be very like her, no?.. Just for example, going for maximum potential awkwardness for everyone involved. The simplest hypothesis: Annie overextended, and can't do a thing - because on the other end she's also in coma. While puzzled Anthony turns the trinket in his fingers, probably guessing its presence is unlikely to be a good sign, but unable to do anything meaningful without more information. Thus everyone is stuck until Tony contacts Donald again. Which is not guaranteed to be always possible given that he may be anywhere. Kat reaching for Antimony was heartbreaking. Are worries about being labeled gay stopping Kat from expressing her worry for Antimony naturally? So tragic. Kat has her priorities straight, here's no doubt. The moment she gets any more important concerns she flings away all teen drama. This time, a rant with feeling is still better than sitting and brooding.

I'm among those who fear Zimmy interfering is just going to make things worse (though this may be one of those things that needs to get worse before it can get better). I suspect that in one of the next pages Zimmy will realize that she's about to get herself into a real mess and decide to run, and then we'll be back to the first pages of the chapter. I wonder if we'll get to a situation where Zimmy and Anthony will have to cooperate somehow in order to solve this. Zimmy could end up being the one to defend Anthony, while Kat is blaming him. That would be a pretty interesting situation imho.

straight friends aren't allowed to touch eachother. Ever. They can only stand next to eachother awkwardly. They are not allowed to worry about eachother, hug, or pat one another on the head. (back can be okay sometimes, but not lower back or rear end. And only for brief periods of time, during a moment of extreme excitement or levity.)
they're also not allowed to look at eachother, especially in the eyes.
It's hard to be a straight person.
Um. What? I'm sure the most zimmy's ever been confused about was which side of reality she currently was existing on.
Now GAMMA on the other hand... she may be another matter.
As far as Anthony goes. This seems far too straight forward for tom. My bet is similar to some others, that Anthony is somehow doing something that is actually beneficial to Antimony, in reaction to some other thing that's gone wrong.
Unless it's not. In which case the convolutedness is going to come in the future, and we'll have to wait for it.
Which doesn't actually contribute any new thoughts. Oh well.

At least we don't have to worry about Zimmy making fun of her. She may have went through the same confusion when she realized she had feelings for Gamma. Haha, I'm sure that notions of "appropriate" human sexuality never once crossed Zimmy's mind. Honestly I'm not sure that she and gamma are a couple in that sense, it's just that's what people tend to lable them as because they have no frame of reference for what gamma actually is to Zimmy, which seems to be at least partly parental as well as providing a functional service as vital as breathing. Of course, they could be together together on top of that, but as with robot and shadow, I'm not sure human norms are applicable here. As for kat- oh man, do I remember what she's going through. You couldn't pay me to be a teenager again. And for the person who says we want to see sexuality in this comic... That seems like kind of an inflammatory thing to say, guy, and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't say it if we were discussing parley and smitty. Nobody has discussed sex even once. We're just talking about kat.

(back can be okay sometimes, but not lower back or rear end. And only for brief periods of time, during a moment of extreme excitement or levity.) I've never known this to be true with girls, especially girls who are long-time close friends. Which is why I never fail to be confounded when people on the internet talk as though it were. Now with guys, yes. But neither of these "couples" are male. And... yeah, I'll stop there before we have a conversation we don't want to have. --- More on topic, my first thought (well, first thought after giving it due consideration) was that Anthony was trying to bind the fire spirit to her so she could have children and not die, and thus prevent what happened to Surma from happening to Annie (others in the last comic's thread mentioned similar ideas). Who knows what the results of Zimmy's interference will be... one does wonder where the adults are during this. And what is going on with S1, Shadow, and Reynard.

Also surprised nobody commented in the fact that ZIMMY IS FREAKING USING HER POWERS ON PURPOSE. i thought she couldn't control them? Well, Kat commented on it back then but you're right, none of us did. I wonder if that, plus the fact the chapter started with the pigeon, and it all being about things Kat has thought about (may I refer to them as insecurities, like Kamlen, the cherry tree, Anthony) mean she's having something to do with this? Zimmy's power's might be the thing that brought the head pigeon into the game, but that's something that has not being explained yet, so we need to wait. (Ha, as if something has ever being explained, other than the fire elemental issue, which was pretty straightforward.)

Oh, Zimmy, here's a thought: find out what Anthony's doing before you undo it. It's not smart to grab a surgeon's scalpel in the middle of an operation, even if you disagree with it.
And it's pretty amazing what a huge discussion a simple hand-gesture can cause in the forums. Annie and Kat certainly haven't had any issue with friendly hugs and so on even during the current school year, so there is significance in Kat's insecurity, but it's still extremely ambigious. I will keep to my "wait and see"-principle on this one.
EDIT: Incidentally, I wonder why no-one has thought to ask help from the Forest. Coyote is unpredictable as all hell, but he likes Annie and having her lie still all the time isn't very fun. He might be able to send someone who could help...
