Who's that girl with Eglamore?!

Places to be. Trees to climb. Green chums to snog.

Climbing?
Also, daytime?

More like her....casual attitude.
Has Annie stopped clenching in Egger's presence?

I love the little details Tom puts in. In the fifth panel, it shows that Eglamore is slowing a little bit, as if he's contemplating what he's just about to say.
Also, Annie's hair has gotten wicked long I mean daaaaaaaang guuurrrl get a haircut.

And back to the makeup, I see! Why waste an endless supply by not wearing it? Also, I love how Tom switched up identifying Annie instead of Eglamore while STILL identifying him anyway.

Annie somehow looks really young here. And kind of strange, I can't place my finger on it.
Also, she's so chipper... I'm worried.

Tree climbing, uh? Will we see some elves?

(sorry, I do not know how to make text a link!!) See that little globe icon right next to the arrow and the "youtube" button in your reply user interface? You press it and you get two bracketed hotlink tabs. Put 'em over your phrase of choice, and place "=blahblah.com" after "url" in the first bracket. Voila. Hotlinks.

Not to mention that the outfit has hobbit sleeves and legs, which make her seem shorter. But most importantly, I think it's because she's walking next to Eglamore. The guy is huge! Anyway, I hope that Coyote is going to enlighten us a little bit about the last chapter, if only in the form of a cryptic remark.

Those clothes don't look all that practical for tree climbing, though - and the shoes really don't. Tying her hair up would probably be a good idea too. Looks like she could get that pretty efficiently entangled in twigs and stuff...
Oh well, not my problem ;D

At least we know that Tom still sees Annie as the protagonist (I'd wondered if he was shifting - maybe without realizing it - towards Kat becoming the protagonst, something like the shift in "The Lord of the Rings" from Frodo as the main character to Sam as the main character).

Actually, those are very good shoes for the job, because I'm almost certain that they are basically foot gloves. Remember that Annie is now well versed in moving around the Forest barefoot. Those shoes, which seem very thin and form-fitting, keep her feet as nimble as possible, while also giving them a degree of protection from sharp rocks and other unpleasant surprises. There's an actual hiking subculture based on shoes like that. At least we know that Tom still sees Annie as the protagonist (I'd wondered if he was shifting - maybe without realizing it - towards Kat becoming the protagonst, something like the shift in "The Lord of the Rings" from Frodo as the main character to Sam as the main character). One single Kat-focused chapter does not a change of a protagonist make. There are plenty of stories out there that show viewpoints of more than one character, but still have a clear main protagonist. I really don't see how the comic could be Kat-centric without having at least three chapters focused on her in a row.

I, strangely, suspect James Eglamore to be less than ideal target for casual chatting. And for that mattter, Annie tries to be more casual than she is (5th panel). Places to be. Trees to climb. Green chums to snog. Ah, ol' good Jolly Elfsberry. James remembers, too. Also, Annie's hair has gotten wicked long I mean daaaaaaaang guuurrrl get a haircut. Blasphemy! ;D Also, she's so chipper... I'm worried. The question is, whether James worries about the same or just wants to say sorry for straining her self-control earlier while they're alone and she doesn't buy his serious face? Those clothes don't look all that practical for tree climbing, though - and the shoes really don't. Actually, those are very good shoes for the job, because I'm almost certain that they are basically foot gloves. Remember that Annie is now well versed in moving around the Forest barefoot. Hence, the obvious answer: they're ideal because they're easy to stuff in a pocket and go barefoot.

My main thought was that they seem like they could slip off her feet really easily (though of cause I don't know how tight they are). If they had gone farther up to the ankle, or if they had a pair of straps or something to tighten them, then I'd agree with you.

If they had gone farther up to the ankle, or if they had a pair of straps or something to tighten them, then I'd agree with you. I've seen minimalistic jogging and hiking shoes that don't go up the ankle, that are barely more than a thin, form-fitting layer of soft rubber around the foot. The point is to give a barefoot experience without the negative side-effect of injuring yourself if you step on broken glass or sharp rocks, or something. Those don't haves straps or anything. Now Annie probably isn't wearing quite that high-tech gear, but if she can make boots that always fit their user perfectly, she can make slippers that don't fall off, too.

Not to mention similar footwear is also recommended in some parkour/freerunning groups, generally because of the increased grip you get from wearing them. Add me to the list of people somewhat concerned about her unusually social attitude in this page. Methinks that's important.

I think it's been largely established that Annie has been more forward since staying in the forest, and it's not surprising that this would show especially when she's heading back there.

Everyone else is just 2ndary or originally suppose to be the mains in their own comic (Zimmy and Gamma)

So, Annie still thinks she's going to be the new medium, even after her behavior at the beginning of summer. I suspect that Jimmy-Jims is about to have a word or two with her about that.

And back to the makeup, I see! Why waste an endless supply by not wearing it? So she is. However, our recent psycho-trip suggests there's a strong incentive to keep masks in place when dealing with the forest folk (even/especially green chums) Let's see if it comes off when in-house. Annie was actually saying she wasn't the medium *yet*. But I agree this could well be what's on Jimmy Jim's mind. (Although... nearly into what you consider to be enemy territory, and *now* you tell her she hasn't got backing!?)

Annie can make boots that always fit their user perfectly and then walks without any. Annie still thinks she's going to be the new medium, even after her behavior at the beginning of summer. I suspect that Jimmy-Jims is about to have a word or two with her about that. Well, it's not like his word on the issue is last... But good catch! Most likely, they'll just have an awkward moment now: if Annie turns, it will remind her about that little incident... In the best-casre scenario, Annie apologizes for the flaming tsundere show and Eggers to fix balance of awkwardness apologizes for stepping on her familial feelings. In the worst case scenario, everyone just gets embarrassed and then they run into Mr. Elfsberry. ;D

Yep, agreed that Jimmy-Jims is about to remind her of the danger, or warn her about getting too comfortable, or even mention that the Court is concerned with how close she's grown to the Forest, etc. Also, love the reversal on "Tom tells us who's present on the page" from Eggers to Annie.

Wait, who is this guy next to Annie? jk, I know it's her dad.
Is this the first time Annie visits the forest since her summer "break"?

She really is young, but most of the time it's hard to tell. I suspect that she will still look like a teen standing next to him even when she's an adult. He really is ginormous.

This may be the first time in these years of comic Antimony has worn pants, without a skirt over them like when she came out of the forest, or as part of a uniform like when she's in gym class or Doctor Disaster's simulation. Significance!? "You will forgive me if I don't immediately believe the word of the trickster. At the very least think I would have to wear trousers."Perhaps she is setting boundaries for Coyote? :D Maybe she has learned to float like Surma did? What if Coyote is teaching her to do that? Although that would be pretty lame for a Great Secret, coming from a god. I assume for someone like Coyote, floating's easy as basics. Edit: Her hair is already floating!
