The plant is Firespike. The chapter is Fire Spike. Tenuous associations run rampant... Surma's never been called by a fire-related name that I can recall. The only references I can remember completely off the top of my head were in Coyote Stories when Coyote said Reynardine went into the court to "woo the fiery Surma", and in Jupiter Moon Martians when Reynardine told Annie that "there's a fire in you, just like your mother" or words to that effect. Well, that's not in the comic is it.

Actually, the first thing I thought of (even after recognizing the crown thingy) was Annie, aka Fire-head girl, lashing out at Mort....but that might just be because I've been waiting a long time to see our buddy again ;D
I'd guess something to do with Jeanne...maybe Annie has another Forest visit to ask Coyote about it?

The last chapter was intense, this one will be slow to switch up the pacing. Im hoping Jack makes an appearance. His big event was two chapters ago already. (though, if its anything like the smitty/parley thingummy, he probably won't show up for a LONG time.
Jeanne won't be showing up for a while. They know her story now, and there isn't much more they can do atm.
I'm predicting coyote time, or some dealings with the spirit realm.

This combined with the fact that Reynardine has never called Antimony by her name lends some credence to the notion that Annie -is- Surma, either by some cloning or other science fiction. Also Eglamore called Annie Surma when she fell overboard, and Reynardine told Eglamore "take care of the little one", all implying that they both know that she's actually Surma 2.0.

I *do* hope that the fire spike has something to do with Annie (maybe an allusion to the fiery crown from Chapter Twenty-one); she's been in the background for the past few chapters and seems due for another proper adventure.

I don't think it will necessarily involve Jeanne, as said earlier, but I'm putting my money on the certainty that the etherical etherities will feature blah blah blah I should have worded that better.
Perhaps Annie will discover a new trick?

Also: Clarifying something I tried to say earlier: If the title of this chapter has ANYTHING to do with the plant called firespike, I will eat a five dollar bill. Careful, Casey -- we've all eaten our own words at least a few times in these forums; you don't want to chase them with a nasty dirty piece of paper currency. (I won't hold you to it if you're wrong, though. Yuck! ) You're probably right; it's likely a coincidence -- but what else could the name mean? Unless Annie learns how to etherically control fire as a pointed weapon or projectile or something, which is at least as ungrounded a theory, we don't have much to go on. Perhaps "Fire Spike" is the name of this crown-like object, or then again it may not have a proper name. That's the problem (and the fun) with title pages -- they cause so much speculation! Look how long the debate lasted on the last chapter title...

No, that's from formspring Anyway. This combined with the fact that Reynardine has never called Antimony by her name lends some credence to the notion that Annie -is- Surma, either by some cloning or other science fiction. Also Eglamore called Annie Surma when she fell overboard, and Reynardine told Eglamore "take care of the little one", all implying that they both know that she's actually Surma 2.0. That is a fairly massive leap of logic. The "Annie is Surma" theory is definitely my least favorite crazy idea floating around these forums, especially when you consider the massive differences in their personalities.

Oh wow, a piece of clipart. That's certainly something, then.

I hereby name this my favourite Wild Speculation, adding the codicil that the reason Sivo!Reynardine knew that Antimony is Surma is because he was Anthony.

In fact, every main character is actually a future-past ectobiological clone of themselves sent back in time from Kat's session of SBURB.

I'd considered that, but it seemed an odd thing for Muut to be conjuring up a mental picture of Surma when relaying to Annie what needs to be done, when Annie's already going down that path. ...then again, no one else in the comic seems to be immune to the whole 'oh, the wonderful things your mother could do, maybe you could do them too.' Why should Muut be any different?

This would be easily enough resolved by someone asking Tom on Formspring whether the figure in that image is Anne or Surma, but I'm not going to do it!

Is anyone now thinking that fire spike could be related to, or be the name of the illness that Surma had? Or maybe has something to do with the abilities passed on to Annie, as Jayne discussed in her theory-thread?Pardon me if the etiquette is to post in the current topic thread. Someone please correct me if I'm in the wrong.

Someone please correct me if I'm in the wrong. I think the fire spike might be referring to Surma's condition. (Hard to call that an illness since she looks so well the whole time.) Just by how Tom answered the formspring question about passing down abilities from mother to child makes me believe that is what happened with Surma and Annie but you never can tell with Tom.
