For a moment I thought it was going to be extremely awkward, but then Shadow had that little chuckly smile and it was A-OK.

You guys! It's not weird nor awkward! It's very cute and endearing, I say! :')

Timing out for me too.
Has traffic increased recently? Do we have any measure of the number of visitors?

The page finally worked for me. I have to say, that's one of the more peculiar relationships I've seen in fiction. Not to say that it isn't heartwarming, though.
But shouldn't the robot's body be plenty warm? Computers and machines with moving parts tend to heat up a fair bit in use.

The additional layers of clothing surrounding him would make him warmer though, no? Hahah.

Aww
Those two are just about the weirdest canon pairing in fiction I can think of from the top of my hat
Nevertheless the page is just cute

I'm always forgetting that shadow is a girl. Or at least has a girl-voice. It is probably because she has a body that looks anthropomorphic. And the green hoodie also doesn't work...
But the pairing is cute and that is the most important...

But the pairing is cute and that is the most important... Nope. Today's alt text If we must assign them genders, they're both closer to a gay couple than a straight one. And there's nothing wrong with that.  |

But the pairing is cute and that is the most important... He's male, actually, as far as living shadows have genders anyway, and his voice has changed from imitation of Kat's long ago, if I recall Tom's Formspring posts, correctly. |

Is it weird that these two are my favourite couple in GKC?

I personally hesitate to assign either of them genders (at least Robot). I just don't feel like it's needed. He's male, actually, as far as living shadows have genders anyway, and his voice has changed from imitation of Kat's long ago, if I recall Tom's Formspring posts, correctly. He was still confirmed to speak similarly to Annie/Kat as recent as the 2D-to-3D episode; Jones asked about the similarity in his and Annie's voices: www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=978 |

I recall vividly that when asked, Tom mentioned that Shadow's voice had developed on its own, distinct from his original imitations. EDIT: Well, "little" seems to mainly indicate that the roots of Shadow's voice are still audible, not that he still sounds the same. |

If it's a combination of Annie and Kat's voice, and if Jones is unsure (as she is asking a question), "little" seems like an appropriate word to use in that situation. I said "similarly;" I wasn't disproving your assertion, merely pointing out that you could both be correct.

Also, Jones doesn't seem to have been talking about his voice.

Actually, Shadow reminds me much more of a cat than anything else: look at that little face in the last panel  |

I know Tom has said specifically that Shadow is male. He also talked about robot, though I can't remember what I said.

GC forums are like UPS. If it fits, it ships, anywhere, anytime. Tom knows how to play his audience, I'll give him that. I'm still convinced there's a subtle master troll at work sometimes. |

Neither of them have lips. "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Kiss"- One of Ellison's trashier and lesser known works. Aren't there still some questions about Shadows origins in the Court and the Shadows Peoples attempted kidnapping of Rey? I hope the "changes" aren't bad ones. |

If this chapter is about everyone pairing up, I'm a bit concerned about Reynardine and Robot's old body. I mean, the two haven't even had any screen time together...

I don't think there's anything weird about it It's very sweet, and once again gently pokes at the relationship between court and forest, and certain questions such as robots and emotions. I just hope they don't end up as sacrifices like Jeanne and her lover... |
