[452]I'd get in trouble too.

I'm thinking, they weren't invited. Bet they came to see the experiment on their own. Zimmy strikes me as the kind of person who'd know her way around forbidden areas pretty well. Also, is she saying damn it at the other kids, or at the door? And does the site suddenly update like three hours later?

I think it's the door.
What d'you mean, suddenly, though?

Maybe she's swearing at both of them? She strikes me as the kind of person who casts a wide net with their vulgarity. Also, her theme song is kickin' rad.

When does she not??

Anywhoo now it gets interesting...

Judging by the WHAM!, Zimmy attacked the door and then swore at it for not opening instantly, and then swore again when she realised there were other people there.

She looks kind of tense(r than usual). Sky's clear, though - except those clouds in the first view of the lake, but I think that's steam. Gamma looks asleep. Maybe she needs another nap and Zimmy's looking for Annie?

But then we don't know how they managed to find her.

I agree with everyone who said that Zimmy and Gamma are gatecrashing.
a) they aren't in Queslett, so it's less likely they would know Jack to be invited
b) there was a nicely even ratio of four boys to four girls, which their arrival has screwed up
c) one of them doesn't speak English and the other is Zimmy, so I doubt they get invited to many parties in general
d) everyone was startled when they turned up
e) they aren't wearing snazzy trenchcoats.

I love Z'n'G. Can't wait for Friday now.

The one thing that concerns me about Zimmy and Gamma's showing up is that it might make things too crowded.

We already have Annie and Kat up here with six characters that we've had only glimpses of so far. Before this chapter, Janet and Winsbury were the only ones whom we knew much about, three were little more than names and character designs, and one (Jack) is an entirely new character.

Then, added to that, we have Zimmy and Gamma, who have enough complexity surrounding them to be more suited for the leads in a potential spin-off to "Gunnerkrigg Court" than supporting characters in "Gunnerkrigg Court" itself, making an unexpected appearance. I hope that Tom hasn't bitten off too much here.

I'm hearing a little bit of "Night on Bald Mountain" in that Justice song. Which fits nicely.

I'm interested in seeing how Zimmy and Gamma interact with students besides Kat and Annie.

Ok, with Z'n'G entering the stage it's going to get a little bit messy. I find it awesome that Tom is now including music to the comic, but I don't like his choice for Zimmy's theme. It's too repetitive and annoying and it makes me want to turn it off after just a few seconds. Which is the exact opposite of Zimmy whom I can't get enough of. (And I'm totally not sure about my grammar here.)

Thing is, it doesnt matter what we think. The song is inherent of Zimmies nature, situation and charector.

It's more like "why wouldn't they be ?"
When Zimmy was cleaning up and Gamma sleeping, it was only temporarily.

I've been waiting for this one! Man, what if it rains? And her eyes show up? This chapter is going to be so awesome. I like the character interactions a lot. and Zim's theme music is great. It sounds like what'd be playing in everyone's head when she's around. :/

Nope their issues werent fixed. ZImmy just happens to react to the rain like that. She loves it. Otherwise she's just her plain ole self. Gamma got knocked out after being awake so long. It isnt going to be the first time.

Zimmy distorts reality and reveals bits of reality that have been hidden, visions, bits of reality from the past even. Its not been thoroughly understood yet. But her distortions of reality dont fictionalize it, more "open it up". and its never in a pleasant way. Gamma's presence cancels this effect out but only if she's conscience. If she is in any away not awake and aware and not near Zimmy, crazy shit starts happening around Zimmy.

I suggest rereading that part of the comic again to truly clear things up.



Nah she must have been blinking when Tom made the panel [hehe]

I always felt Zimmy's theme tune would be Torgo's Theme from Manos, The HAnds of Fate. Anyone else?

My guess was that Zimmy and Gamma have tried to go to the island before, but stuff happeded those times so they couldn't. Today they made a flawless plan to get there, unaware that the others would be here.

That Zimmy music fits her perfectly. I imagined it would be something like that.
