This is where Donny's power of observancy really blooms.

These puns are rooted in terribleness.

Doggone it, we like puns, and we're gonna stick to 'em come helldogs or high growth! (OK, so that was stretching it a bit far.)

I think you guys need to branch out this conversation a bit more.

OK, OK. We'll leave the puns and stick to the main topic.
And awww, Donny's showing off for Anja.

That was the original topic  Right now, it looks like the dog is trying to get back to the forest (panel 4), unless the direction he's facing is just coincidence. That lends creditability (in my mind, at least) to the theory that the Bonsaiwolf is an escaped Court experiment, which I had thought was relatively unlikely before. I wonder what other bits of technology Donny carries around in his pockets... |

This is getting silly guys, we need to stick on topic. You cannot escape the punnery! Donny seems much more confident when he's showing off gadgetry. At this point he seems to be the more electrically minded of the couple - we've been told Anja has magic. Perhaps she gets into robots as a result of either hanging around Donny or perhaps as a way to impress him, like "Look, I can do robots too!". |

I got the impression from their conversation in the bathroom that Anja hides her "special" etheric nature because she saw how the "normals" treated other people like Brynhildr. Therefore I think it's possible that, despite how much Anja and Donald clearly love each other in their adulthood, the course of Anja's life saw her working with Donald on his area of expertise, only inserting her own etheric knowledge enough to make it work. Maybe she's downplayed her own true calling her whole adult life just out of habit that she learned when she met Donny, in an effort to make sure he didn't go "eww, you're one of those freaks?" (Of course Donny would NEVER do that because he is far, far too awesome for that... but young Anja doesn't know that.)
I've often thought that the relationship between Anja and Donald is my favorite in the story... it's so sweet, and so realistic, and so very much like the kind of relationship we all wish we had. They -really- love each other, and Tom does a fantastic job of illustrating that.

I am mildly creeped out by the dogwood thing's looking like a flayed dog (only brown and with a shrubbery on top).

This is getting silly guys, we need to stick on topic. There probably isn't that much topic; we already learned last week that the creature invading the Court was half-dog half-tree, so Surma's words didn't tell us anything new. (I've noticed that when the story on this week's page confirms what we suspected rather than enters new territory, the comments stray away from the story onto the background material - for example, in the last chapter, when Anja tells Annie that it's time for her first blinker stone lesson, almost all of the comments were about Robox instead, and I suspect that a lot of that was due to our already knowing from Chapter Fourteen that Anja was going to give Annie those lessons.) The discussion will probably take a more serious turn when the characters start discovering new things about the mysterious creature. |

The only reason I'm still active in this forum is that I'm waiting for an opportunity to make an enigmaron- or robots-related "arms race" pun.

Aw, nerd-flirting!
I probably get too much enjoyment out of that.
Dogtree looks oddly noble in the fifth panel.
Also, if the dogtree is flayed, does that mean it's barkless?

Clearly my pun was too subtle then. =P Leaf it to you to not get the joke. <,< |

Be careful that you don't get too overboard with the puns. They'll sap people's interest in reading the rest.

I know kindling new topics for conversation is rough, but if we don't try to sow new thoughts on the subject, we may find our comments becoming a bit sappy.
I know it doesn't mean much, but I figured I'd log that opinion here for posterity.

It seems quite obvious that bonsaiwolf is barking up the wrong tree here. He must be pining for Gillitie Wood...or, in the words of Micheal Palin: "He's pining for the fjords!"
