I wonder why she can't hear what whoever bud is talking to is saying. Maybe it works on the same principle as eavesdropping on a guy in the same room talking to a phone. You can hear his side of the conversation, but you'll have trouble hearing the other end of the conversation. Except, you know, etheric. Annie is no telepath, Bud is. To put it simple. ED: I just realized I really prefer the strips that focus on the plot, and especially those that feature Coyote. They are just much calmer. I am not getting younger anymore, you see... Not that chapters like this aren't fun, just not calm. : D

That's just sounds like the lot of the Court people are shippers. They seriously need better things to do in their free time Some might be shippers, others might be concerned for his health in case this turns out to be an epic tale of "when good macking goes bad."

If his romantic intentions toward Zimmy are known that might also have something to do with the number of watchers. That's just sounds like the lot of the Court people are shippers. They seriously need better things to do in their free time Seriously, though, I think it has more to do with his abilities. The kid did turn on that whole etheric power plant thing thanks to Whitelegs before, and it's shown that he's now imbibed some of the technical (and possibly etheric) knowhow from his previous experiences. Not someone you'd want to just run loose. If you think that so much of the court being shippers is so hard to believe you've obviously never been anywhere my school. But yes, it probably has more to do with his etheric abilities, not that it couldn't be a combination of the two factors.

Oh wow a fan theory was actually correct. Which one? Anyways, so yea Bud and Lindsey can talk telepathically, even though Bud is talking out loud in the etherium. Bud looks beautiful with his etheric self (I wonder if there are any ugly etheric selves) and also looks ALOT like a scorpion or a cross between a scorpion and a lobster. If Lindsey looks the same, then that makes her EVEN MORE massive, like size of a blue whale massive. Also, it looks like we found out the reason behind the secrecy between Janet and William, her father wouldn't approve.

Bud isn't actually talking to anyone; he's putting on the 'conversation' purely for Annie's sake.

I'd like to think this is true purely because I find it a bit silly that all-powerful psychic lobster crab scorpion fish monsters that operate partially in additional dimensions would be overheard by a teenaged fire elemental hybrid with limited etheric knowledge. I mean how powerful are fire elementals anyway? And this one is diluted by who knows how many generations of humans? Bud is trollin'.

It seems quite possible that he's just a naturally powerful psychic, and his actual skill level isn't all that much higher than Annie's. That Annie is weaker might actually make her a bit less noticeable, as there's less for Bud to detect. That said, it could just be as easy to feign sleep in the ether than it is in the physical.

Why whisper when you don't think anyone in the room can even hear the frequency you're talking at?

What a pretty page.
I agree with Trailsend. I think he just doesn't know that she's capable.

I just realized I really prefer the strips that focus on the plot, So do I, but I've recognized that a lot of the most popular moments in "Gunnerkrigg Court" generally don't have much to do with the main story. The Spacemonaut chapter, for example - its main plot significance is Annie learning to loosen up, but the space opera parody elements overshadowed that. Boxbot and Robox, Kat's pop culture enthusiasms, and the side-characters' quips frequenly get far more comments than the parts about Annie investigating the Court. So I'm learning to be patient and wait for the main story to resume when something like that happens.

If it weren't for the details and side tracks, I doubt I would care very much about the "main story". I'm not that interested in Annie as an isolated character going through various plot turns, but as the focal point of a tapestry that includes suicide fairies and off-panel cursed teapots I really like to follow her story. (In Deep Space Nine, on the other hand, I would quite like them to speed up the main plotlines instead because their filler material just isn't on girls-getting-a-haircut level.)

Turn my brain off if it's not plot-relevant, and just enjoy the fun. : ) ED: mild misunderstanding: I actually don't have any problems with non-plot-related comics, I have problems with some forumers who make too much of a fuss about non-important things. That's why I like plot-related strips, because those things are important, so it's okay to make a fuss about them. ^^

Off screen cursed teapots! I'd completely forgotten about that. Why wasn't it one of the short stories?

Because the less said about Chapter 21a: Cursed Teapot Woes, the better. Or so I hear.

I think this Monday's page is the last page in this chapter. Wednesday's page will be the stinger page. Friday's will be the cover page of chapter 35, with a "Tune in Monday" comment.

awesome Bud is awesome. It looks like he is talking to his wife, so I don't think he's lying about Janet and Winsbury. It's pretty funny that bud is doing basically the same mistake that anny did when she first got her blinker stone. What mistake do you mean? Assuming he won't be observed.

I don't think its normal to say I would love to have crabs.
But if they were like Bud, I could live with it.

Only two pages of discussion for a Friday page with Bud the Beautiful? I can't believe it.
I wonder where this is going to go in the next page.

My prediction for next page or two: Annie's eavesdropping will catch some very important information that moves the plot forward or works as a twist somehow leading into the next chapter. My prediction: Kat will try to discuss Paz the moment they are alone, but Annie will give her update on those talks, thus distracting Kat. I am not much on shipping but I'd like to be watching when Jack makes his play for either Zimmy or Zimmy and Gamma. Haha, yeah! I'm curious to see what strategy he comes up with, not to mention the response. Isn't her response already known? That's why I like plot-related strips, because those things are important, so it's okay to make a fuss about them. ^^ But how we can be sure what is plot-important (beyond the obvious, like Jeanne)? And in Gunnerkrigg Court, no less. Coyote's secrecy, Janet's fancy shooting, Steadman's appearance, Rogat Orjaks, laser cows, the nature of Jones may be of critical importance to the remaining plot - or none at all.
