Kat's expression in panel three is marvelous.

Kat's going all cool again, aw man. Put me up for the guess that's it's a memorial plaque for Sir Young, left to grow wild because the Court cares not for petty things like "history". I really love seeing the Court's building through the mist - it almost reeks of post-apocalyptia, in a very tasteful and interesting way.

Watch those ellipses, Casey. You could hurt someone with those.
Yeah, you could be right. But my guess is still on Young.

So this page seems to suggest that the reason jack was not wearing a raincoat, was because he arrived earlier. That could have been inferred from the previous page, but here the suggestion is stronger, though still no rock solid.

Where all the food is stored, so they didn't have to lug supplies with them on their long walk.
The cows are there to make sure they don't raid the fridge. Pew pew! (Or should that be zot zot?)

Kat's hair is waaaaaaaaay too long. I'm having trouble already with this chapter  There *is* a hairstylist in GC, no? We saw it back in the chapter about Red. |

Maybe the lady decided to grow her hair out. Stay open minded, it might be in an awkward in between phase!
Aw, I'm sad Annie took the threatening interpretation of Jack hanging around. I'm the perpetual optimist, but I don't feel like he's really dangerous... At least, I hope he isn't. I really enjoy seeing him around. I don't really like the character, exactly, but I am entertained by it. Awesome expressive eyebrows!

I'd guess it is most likely some leftover of the founding faculty, and Annie and Kat may wind up searching it and any others they can find in future chapters, just like they investigated Diego's place. What kinds of clues they might find within, I can't guess. Perhaps Jack will interfere or join in the search.

For some reason the fourth panel made me think of Yuffie from FFVII...

That's more like it. Kat's clearly been practising her jabs since her bout with Muut. Perhaps she's looking for another opportunity to TAKE HIM DOWN! |

That "thing" is so obviously a large boxbot. Or a boxbot statue.
... Something boxbot related anyhow.

"That guy," meet "That thing." What could it be?!? Looks squarish, so presumably a monument/grave/something like that. Most likely Young-related.
So, why don't the cows laser-clean Young's modulus...er, monument...?

I love the laser cow's expression of quizzical mild annoyance in panel 6.

I'm lovin Kat in this one. She's looking out for Annie, got some goofy poses and faces, and her hair is gorgeous =] My bet on the weird messy green thing? It's a laserbush. Totally a laserbush. That grass won't see it coming from a mile away. |

If it hasn't been trimmed by the custodial cows then it might be sacred ground of some sort.

I suspect Tom is deliberately toying with the shippers (of which I am emphatically not one) in this strip.

Post by Casey on Aug 19, 2009 16:03:17 GMT
I suspect not, actually. Main characters aren't something I would typically think an author would toy with. I know I wouldn't. I recall that Tom had fretted before about depicting female-female interaction believably (in Ties, between Anja and Surma, specifically... there was something about girl talk in the girl's restroom being a litmus test or something... I'll try to locate it).
And I'm a guy. And I assume you are too shadrach. And honestly, we have no idea how girls talk to each other and refer to each other when we're not around. I'm going to err on the side of assuming that Tom's done some homework on this!

They're not yet legal age to drink! . . . Are they? . I don't think so? I've been operating under the assumption that they're in the 13-14 range, based on my maths. I still don't get the screwy numbering system that non-American schools tend to have  |

Casey, it was possibly the Bechdel test. It appeared in Allison Bechdel's comic Dykes to Watch Out For. In order to pass the movie, book, comic, etc must fulfill these requirements:
1. It has to have at least two women in it,
2. Who talk to each other,
3. About something besides a man.
Her comic is pretty great.
