As long as you don't start selling Gunnerkrigg related stuff or making money off my property it's fine by me.

Does the Court have a motto in any language?

In "Power Station," why didn't Gamma realize or acknowledge Jack's presence in ZimCity? (Unless that's something we'll learn later).

ZimCity... that's awesome, hehe. Did you just make that up, DrB?
Tom: I'm not quite sure how to phrase this question but here goes:
Do you see yourself more as a comic artist who has a day job to pay the bills, or, as a regular working bloke who does comics on the side as a hobby?

Not sure if it's been asked so bear with me:

Hi Tom,
I was wondering, on the page where you explained the Court houses (http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=16), the 6th form doesn't seem to be divided up.
Does the system not apply to sixth formers? If this is so, then why not?

Hey Tom, I have a couple questions that have absolutely nothing to do with the plot (as far as I know). If they have already been asked and answered, then sorry for being a nuisance!
1) Will we be seeing more of Robox in the future? 2) Is there any chance that you will draw Ketrak?
Again, sorry if these questions have already been asked and answered.

Here's another one that I hope hasn't been asked:
How do you push yourself to keep working? How is it you can meet every deadline? I really need some advise. >_>

| 6th form is when the students start to mix with people from other classes, so houses are much less important. That's how it went at my school.

Have you ever heard a teacher or a parent say to do all your homework on Friday night so you can max and/or relax over the weekend? That's basically what I do. Except when the weekend comes I'm working on my pages for three months in the future.

You mentioned in the old thread that that the forest ranking order was "from higest to lowest...Coyote, Reynardine, Ysengrin." Is this still true given that Reynardine lives in the Court and is controlled by Annie? If he had given an order to Ysengrin during their confrontation in Chapter 14, would Ysengrin have obeyed?

Ysengrin wouldn't follow an order from Reynardine in any situation. Their order of "ranking" is more about importance and ability. Though one could argue Ysengrin currently has more power than Renard.

Hey Tom, what provided the initial inspiration for Zimmy and Gamma?

Would he follow an order from Coyote? He did respect Coyote's wish to allow Annie into the forest.
If so, does this have more to do with Coyote having more power? Does it have anything to do with Coyote's comment that, "Ysengrin loves me very much."

Ysengrin would do whatever Coyote asks because he loves him.

Just a thought.
Even if they did, It wouldn't ever be official. That sort of thing just seems really tacky for a boarding school.

goatmon- my school had a motto and it was carved into the stonework at founding.
Tom, were there any myths in particular that lent inspiration to the beasties delivering Mort's letter from Antimony?
