[1050] It's the way you look...

Tha's not very polite Zims...

Another trek to Wednesday to find out what the heck is going on.

I can't blame her .

I mean, look at that pigeon's face... it's staring into your blameless soul and tearing it apart.

I get the feeling... that Kat looks a little worse than just a Nobody.

Also, this is way worse than I guessed.

You lost me there... all I could think of was why do my nostrils whisper to me.

I think I'll go in the other direction and say Kat is not a horrifying vision.. but intimidatingly beautiful to behold!

I literally have nothing to lose for guessing contrary to everyone else. I gain the slim chance of being able to say, "Nyah nyah I got it first!" later on.

Clearly, Zimmy has been possessed by a worm and fears Kat's bloody wrathful beak. I wonder if Gamma can see what she's seeing?

Especially in the Pigeonhawk mode. Looks like it's about to remove your eye without any prior notice. Scary.
"Those two possibilities are not mutually exclusive."
"Kat as Jack" with Kat partly seen through would be a psychodelicious image.
...Also, could instantly overload shipper brains. "Fffff-clonk! Superconductive Relay."

Well after a depressing day I've always got Gunnerkrigg Court to cheer me up. -reads comic- I'm so confused! Oh well, crazy theory time!

Annie would notice. And be very concerned. And would easily incinerate any such parasite, now that she knows it's safe.
Kat in Zimmingham was most likely Annie's own phantasm (appeared so timely, and Annie didn't destroy it, but Gamma did), so no strong contact in the first place.
But if she was a more flimsy presence than Annie, Gamma just GOP!-d it into oblivion. No structure, no data, no entity. Maybe substance, though, in which case she skipped right to the "touched" aftereffect stage where Jack is now. Except that she wasn't in a close contact with anything aggresive in the first place and could only pick up background.
I.e. if Kat somehow got an odd bonus to magical talent from the unremembered misadventure, it's unlikely to be more than what she could simply inherit from Anja anyway.

Seventh pannel: dawwww

Not sure *what's* going on here (yet again...)

My problem is that Zimmy has just gone from crowing about Carver getting some fight back to cowering away from Birdless Kat. OK she's been going from delivering messages with glee, to freaking out over the nobodies, to crowing, to cowering...but none of that related to Kat. There still seems to be a residual bird bubble, but that could be Tom having a dig.

Gemma knows about the bird (either directly or via Zim link: she was the first to visibly react to it), so we'll see what she does.

Oh, this 'scape may be yet another layer created when Zimmy delivered her 'message'... I'm off to gibber quietly in the corner now myself.

My initial thought was that Zimmy is speaking as Annie here and is going to make a reference to lesbianism--as in, Annie's been secretly freaked out by Kat for a long time and it's going to come out now through Zimmy--but I think that's just me thinking way too hard about it. I'm super psyched for the next page. I'm glad Gamma is back.

Edit: far more likely explanation, Kat's distate for Zimmy actually scares the poor kid and it just came out know. Mrk. Who knows.

I suspect Zimmy is faking to set Kat up for some kind of clever burn or sarcastic comment.

Yeah, I think Kat's chain is about to get seriously yanked.
