I thought he might have been doing something weird with his voice, but I thought I should ask before I base wild speculation off a change in speech bubble color.

So far a variety of different mythologies have been referenced; can we expect to see mythological figures from all over the world in future updates?

I was also wondering if we'll ever get to see Eglamore actually fighting a dragon. :o

There will be mythical figures from around the world in future updates, yes.

As for fighting a dragon... no, you won't really see Eglamore doing that specifically.

Here's a question about Reynardine and the specifics of the control Annie has over him:

Reynardine turns into a wolf the first time without Annie's permission. Was she somehow giving him a mental command, or was he able to do it freely because it was for her benefit? Later on, he jumps in front of her to protect her from the General, again without her needing to command him.

He was able to turn into the wolf because that's what he wanted to do. He can basically do anything he wants except lie to, harm or disobey Annie. She can give him a blanket statement, however, such as "Don't leave this room and don't make a sound", or "Don't kill anyone" and that will last until she tells him otherwise.

OK, OK, I have a couple more (I swear I'll lay off after this!) ;D

Earlier in this thread some members posted links to a place where one could purchase printed books of GC, but the links were dead. Are the books still available for purchase?

And on that topic, since your art style has changed over the course of the series (very much for the better, I feel) have you considered redrawing earlier chapters for a bound and published volume?

How do you feel about GC fanfiction?

1, No they are not.

2, I've thought about it but I don't have the time unless I was to stop doing new pages.

3, I don't mind it as long as it doesn't try to bite me in the ass.

I have no hopes for it whatsoever. All I know about it is that I'm not the game's target audience.

Or maybe Law and Order.

Here's a useless curiousity.

Reynardine can take anything with eyes. Does this include potatoes?

Though why Reynardine would want to possess a potato is another question entirely....

I started thinking about that potato, and here's a roundabout train of thought for you. If Reynardine was killed in whatever body he was possessing (say, the potato was eaten >_>), would he just be discorporated into his spectral foxy demon shape, or would he take more severe damage? Is there actually any way of killing him besides not allowing him to possess another body?

If he is in a body that is destroyed then he will die. Also if he is without a body for any length of time then he will also die. So a body he is jumping into has to be near enough to form a bridge between the two. Much in the same way the shadows transfer from place to place.

Hm. So, if he can get into a potato, which pretty much only has eyes in a very technical and arbitrary sort of way, could Reynardine get into other abstract "eyes", like the represented eyes in a painting or photograph, even they eye of a needle, or would that be pushing it?

If something has an eye, be it an actual eye that can see or not, then it can be used.

So would Reynardine (assuming that he had otherwise had the opportunity at the time) have been unable to possess Annie during the period in Chapter Four that she was disguised as those eyeless statues to help Mort scare Paz?

They had no eyes, so no.

Ah, I see. I was wondering whether that event was supposed to be Mort physically transforming Annie into the statues or just projecting the illusion of the statues around her. (Though I thought that it might be the latter, since the top panel in the last page of Chapter Four showed the statues disappearing under a "ripple" effect, suggesting an illusion being dispelled rather than a transformation being undone.)

Hmmm. Probably not, to be honest.
