Maybe they could just have Andrew go fishing for it... Great idea! But too practical; we don't want the story line ending so quickly... Yeah, I could see Andrew's power acting as a deus ex machina in a lot of situations.

No matter how mature she may be, she's still only about 11-12, which is an incredibly impressionable age. Annie is, or is almost, 14. By the way. Edit: forgot to add the linkHm. Isn't 14 a little old for their class? (apologies if that's answered in the link, I can't reach formspring from here)

Most people turn 14 sometime during that year. I suspect Zimmy is being overly sensitive.

Edit: forgot to add the linkYeah, she's aged some since the beginning of the comic. Plus we've seen that she apparently regards mutually acknowledged affection in a positive light - the deal with Mort was that she objected to him going behind her back. I think her interruption was more geared towards reminding Parley and Smith that they had an audience.

(apologies if that's answered in the link, I can't reach formspring from here) No, What that Zimmy is saying is that Gamma would have to have repeated one year if she were a normal student in 8th year. normally she would be an older student in her 9th year, but she is not a normal student. Annie was probably born during the summer and the events of this chapter happen near the end of the school year, keep in mind a few chapters ago it was spring.

It's odd, if most people turn 14 during Year 8, then Gamma being 14 wouldn't have been something that Zimmy would have felt she needed to defend. Of course she's Zimmy, so...

But according to this it is odd for year-8-ers to be 14. So annie being 14 is odd if she's still in the eight year.

Some observations: 1) I believe someone predicted Kat grinning through her teeth and Annie not amused 2) Someone else predicted teleportation off to her bed or wherever (but not teleportation back!) Both me.

She's almost 14, and it's not summer, so she would turn 14 before the beginning of the next year.

we don't know how close to summer it is yet, and we don't know how "almost" is almost.

And it's perfectly normal for 9th year students to be 14. Assuming her birthday is in the summer, her age isn't unusual at all.

Well, the birds are nesting and while jackets aren't required, long-sleeve shirts are more comfortable. snes: Seeing Kat's face on Annie is just wrong...or maybe it's just the lack of nose-line that Kat gets when her hair is out of the way. Either way. Creepifying.

Was there a chapter that was set in the winter? I don't remember ever seeing snow on the ground.

I remember that on the Bonus Page at the end of the first chapter, Tom said that Year 7 is for 11-12 year-olds, so Year 8 must be for 12-13 year-olds. So Annie must be thirteen at most, unless Tom moved into Year 9 without mentioning it.

nah, I had that problem, everyone moves up in september (I'm pretty sure anyway) and my birthday is in december, so I was always one year too old.
Plus I think Tom isn't clear about ages cos then he gets to mess about with the timeline easier without fanrage.

13 is almost 14, and you can be 13 at the end of year 8, which is when they are now, so far as we can tell. Problem solved! Everyone talk about something that isn't trivial now. i.e. What does Parley plan to do, having got everyone down to the Waters' edge? Talk to Jeanne? Fight her? Explain that she realised what Jeanne was trying to tell her and acted on it?

I think Bip would have been a better thread title... ;D And of course, Antimony isn't interested in 'that sort of thing'. She dealt with death from an extremely young age. She's probably thought that 'that sort of thing' is doomed. And given what she saw with Jeanne, it would only reinforce her mindset. No matter how mature she may be, she's still only about 11-12, which is an incredibly impressionable age. I'm actually fascinated with how Annie responds every time she's confronted with romantic situations. Jones and Eglamore, her parents, all kinds of awkward situations with her mom and other guys (LAUGHING ON LINE), when Renard confronted her about romantic interests, and of course Jeanne and Diego. They definitely sort of enforce the idea that "that sort of thing" is if not doomed, a thing to be avoided. Even Kat's little relationship with Mr. Bird-Annie tried to help in the end but no doubt she silently observed how well that went.

That's why it's called evil. Anything done without a good reason is evil? No, Good doesn't need a reason so if it has a reason and its not a good reason, its still as good as if there were no reason at all. Evil always has a reason Evil sometimes has a good reason Evil sometimes has a bad reason Evil is called evil because sometimes it has a bad reason. Only good needs no reason Good may have a reason Good may have no reason Good may have a good reason Good may have a bad reason Good is not called evil for any reason

No, sorry. I meant, they BIP'd away and in the next panel, they BIP'd back. So does that mean she teleported them back right after Kat says "Whoops!" Actually, if you look at the quotation bubble colors, you'd notice that Parley says "Woops!"

Yup, it's Kat's color. And the tail of the balloon is pointing at Kat, not where Parley was standing. And Parley doesn't say "woops".

It is my impression that people with summer birthdays generally enter at the same quantized age as everyone else, so that they are the youngest, not the oldest in the class. If this applies to Annie and she turns 14 over the summer she should be entering year 10. I suppose Tom must mean that Annie is 13 and a half, so that her birthday is at the beginning of the school year, and it's now past march. That or Annie really is older than most people in her class.
