Wow, straight to the point, eh Annie?
Hmm, this is pretty interesting- I really didn't think we'd hear much about Robot's adventure, but, it makes sense now that it's happening. He seems to have gotten ahold of himself pretty quick. Must be that whole 'robot' part. =P
That guy does -not- look like my idea of a 'nice man'.
At a guess, Reynardine knows -exactly- who Robot is talking about, and isn'th appy with this idea in the least. Neh?

The tree used as a panel seperator looks pretty great.
Goodness, but doesn't this fellow have muscular arms and a narrow waist? Why, if it weren't for the glowing green eyes, I might think he looked a little like a certain PE teacher. How silly, though!

Funny, I thought the same thing. I hope it's just a coincidence. This is getting really interesting in a hurry, at least for those of us who like creepy and sinister. I think it's time Reynardine starts talking. Spill it, Rey, what do you know of this? Robot is just an all-around wonderful man-o-metal. And the tree as a panel seperator really does work great, especially with the two locations (forest and Court) that needed to be handled cleanly. Nice work! |

That would be a very odd coincidence. Though probably not likely, considering Eglamore was the one who sliced Robot's tree-arm off in the first place. Then again, how did he know Annie was in danger from Robot? And how did he know he'd need a sword? And how did he know to aim at the tree-arm, anyway? Annie said he looked "desperate" right before the slicing, too. Hmm... Maybe he knew out of some weird part of his job as PE-teacher/large-and-potentially-dangerous-animal-guarder/general-sword-guy.Half the characters seem to know at least twice as much as they're telling, especially Reynardine and Eglamore. Though Kat's mom's glowy powers are also rather intriguing. |

We finally get to see the Very Nice Man, on-stage. He definitely looks sinister. And I agree that using the tree as a way of separating the panels from each other was a nice touch.
One of my favorite scenes on this page is Robot, in the course of his search for a new arm, actually examining a small rock to see if it would do the job. One more sign, I suppose, that the artificial intelligence of Gunnerkrigg Court's robots is more artificial than intelligence.

It's hard to feel like anyone who wants to defeat the evil Reynardine is somehow a badguy. Then again, it may be that the creepy guy with the glowing, green eyes wishes to use Reynardine's power for his own or something like that.

This may turn into a situation where Reynardine is the lesser of two evils.
So far I don't get the feeling Reynardine has that much of an agenda other than looking out for himself, but the Very Nice (Creepy?) Man does seem to have an agenda, as exemplified by his going to the trouble to plot and scheme a way to capture/kill Reynardine. Admittedly, there isn't too much known about either of them yet.

Okay, the theory that just entered my brain belongs in Wild speculations...
but! Yay! Finally a clue to the Very Nice Man's appearance!

Ooo, I'm going to check wild speculations then. One thing, though; that guy's legs look fairly broad, which is definitely NOT Eglamore. I could just be trying to think that it's not Eglamore, but I don't really think it's likely.
And of course, I like the tree seperator. When will Reynardine spill?

I'm pretty sure it's not Eglamore, mostly because of the hands. Plus, Eglamore seems to be too much of a good guy.

Yes, yes, he's most likely not Eglamore. That way, we can look forward to the possiblity of a rockin' awesome duel between the two sometime in the future.
It occurs to me, now, that this fellow may not be the end of the road when it comes to the forces at work in the woods. Who's to say he's not in the service of something greater? But that sort of talk may belong with the rest of the wild speculation.

Mal says how would Eglamore know to take a sword to deal with the posessed Robot, I would say that Eglamore pretty much thinks that edged weapons solve any crisis and would take one along as a matter of course.

nick-well said, I agree completely. And Uglyhead, if he's in the service of someone greater, that makes it even more likely we'll see an Eglamore/Creeper fight!

Based on past evidence, that's probably an accurate observation. Of course, knowing that, I can imagine Eglamore attempting to fix situtations with weapons which don't really need weapons in them at all. Example: Generic Man: -ERK!- Heart attack! Someone help! Eglamore: I have a sword! Where's the problem? Generic Man: I have a heart attack, I don't need a sword! Eglamore: But... um... SWORD! |

...That way, we can look forward to the possiblity of a rockin' awesome duel between the two sometime in the future. I hope you're right: I really want to see how Tom would draw a sword fight. I'm guessing (hoping!) he'll need more than a page. |

It must be a trap! ;D yeah silly .. I know |
