I'm betting the adults will now get a taste of their own medicine.

Someone theorized recently that the big "problem" people were going to have with this chapter was that it was so straightforward. Good theory, but I say no problem at all! I've really enjoyed having a chapter that we actually saw coming.
In the words of Han Solo, "Bring it on! I prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around!"

See, every problem in the world can be solved by the careful application of rope.
Also, do I seem to be the only one worried about this? Bob did not pull the expected face, given the context. I am currently under the impression that there is something actually kind of dangerous in the house.

How is Annie going to get in the house? She can't teleport (yet, as far as I remember).

The kidnapped kids are already in the house, and as far as we can tell Marcia left the door open when Matt told her about the fire. He and the other kids probably got in then. Annie may be a sacrificial lamb for the rest.

Am predicting next comic to be Eglamore & Bob & Marcia trying to light a fire (with the laser cows sabotaging his efforts), while all the kids enjoy themselves in front of the tv.

The only problem is, while everyone else has already taken over the place, Annie herself is with the soon-to-be Hulk-angry adults. Now picture how much fun she's going to have in a bit.

I am currently under the impression that there is something actually kind of dangerous in the house. What about duct tape? I thought duct tape could fix anything! As to something else really dangerous happening, you're right about the faces. It would be just like Tom to make us think the problem with the chapter was it being too simple and then WHAM! making it something else. Or not. It's like that hangman's paradox. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unexpected_hanging_paradox |

It's raiding surprise party time! Yarr! See, every problem in the world can be solved by the careful application of rope. Isn't duct ta... oh. (see below) The kidnapped kids are already in the house, and as far as we can tell Marcia left the door open when Matt told her about the fire. He and the other kids probably got in then. Annie may be a sacrificial lamb for the rest. It's more trade-off than a sacrifice: she got to see their faces. Ah, but she' acts as a loner again. Even though conspiring one.  See, every problem in the world can be solved by the careful application of rope. What about duct tape? I thought duct tape could fix anything! ... It would be just like Tom to make us think the problem with the chapter was it being too simple and then WHAM! Yeah. And that little squabble we has about views on Jack will be completely forgotten after a single day of the imminent holy war between ropers and ducktapians. Ah, now i got it! You see, that's the real problem with this chapter Tom warned us about! He's so sneaky. |

You see, that's the real problem with this chapter Tom warned us about! He's so sneaky. Rope made of Duct tape. And duct tape fails only in that you cannot make it out of nearly as many things or as easily as rope. I'm sure there's still some sort of problem to come. Although to be honest he might've been referring to the chapter he's working on, not the one we're reading. |

Ive seen wallets, roses, purses, even entire prom dresses made out of duct tape.

Man, Annie is going to be in sooo much trouble for this!
Does anyone else see this as kind of continuing on from Annie's fear that her shyness is preventing Kat from socialising with the other kids? Here she has devised a plan that results in all the other kids in the year having a great time taking over the Suttons' house (Kat included) while Annie remains outside. The beauty of this plan is that Kat need not be guilty for hanging out with other kids and spending less time with Annie because it is not her fault Annie isn't with her.
If that really was Annie's attention, it is equal parts clever, sweet and sad.
If in the next page Annie is going to find some way to get into the house... I will feel a little silly.

And let's not forget, as well, that she's already caused trouble for the teachers before (sneaking into Reynardine's cell, running out onto the bridge and getting knocked off - leading to a diplomatic incident with Gillitie in the process, etc.) - I wonder whether that will influence Eglamore and the others' response towards realizing how she'd tricked them. Could Annie be in for another week of detention once the camping trip is over? |

Nah, I don't see any trouble coming to Annie as consequence of this trickery. The whole point of the exercise is to have some spirited fun, and I really don't think it's mandatory that the teachers win. It would be bad sportsmanship for the teachers to punish this. I'd see punishment coming if they'd vandalize the Sutton home, but that's not going to happen.
This is a good demonstration of how powerful Annie has become. With seemingly small tricks she's outsmarted three adults.

Okay, as long as we're in predicting guessing mode, I'll answer my own question ("How is Annie going to get in the house?") and fearlessly predict that it will have something to do with the hat and jacket she has been wearing while sitting there and which have not been explained or even remarked on as yet.

Well it is rather cold outside. Bundling up is never suspicious.
Edit: She's actually been wearing the jacket more or less the entire time. Why is it not normal now? Just a set of clothes.
