Well duh, Carver.

So, Tom is a fairy. That explains his comments throughout this chapter.

[technique]

congratz tom!

[basser]

I can't tell if Jones is serious or giving the most perfectly deadpan delivery in the history of sarcasm.

[Alexandragon]

Congratulations, Tom!

Bozos, jerks, clowns, numbnuts, numskulls (wait that's Kat), losers, doofs, shmos, schlubs, galoots, jabronis, crumbums, schmendricks, ninnyhammers, suckers, did I mention jabronis?

[blackmantha]

I wonder what exactly all those stars and such above Annie's head mean. It doesn't seem to be pain or disorientation. I'm especially interested in the shape over Jones in panel 4. It looks like one of those shapes we saw in the forest on page 831.

Giggleblade vs. ninnyhammer, which would win?

These ones are made with paper and sticky tape. See page 982.

[SpitefulFox]

Jones, why do you use that word? I don't think it means what you think it means.

[Kuraimizu]

I think Annie is still leaking a bit of her ether.
might take a while to readjust to leaving the body.

That reminds me, I didn't see any security stuff in the halls.

I'll double down on my "the streamers are warding and warning charms" spec.

Congratulations on the 1000th page!

The stars are also here and here. And blackmantha's right, those little color thing-ys are sticked to the ceiling with tape.

And I'm not trying to be a total jerk here but isn't the dialogue "They usually use insults" supposed to be the title?

[TBeholder]

So, "jabronis" it is, then.

Isn't this always the case? ;D

[digikitty]

Jones, you should know better than to assume anything...especially when it comes to Annie.

[Rafael]

WHOOOOOOOOOO! One THOUSAND pages!

[Rex]

Congratulations on 1,000 pages, Tom.

Anyway, gotta love Jones here. Subtlety? I love how generous she's being, even if it's not all that accurate.

[lemmingatk]

So...we start referring to the page numbers in kilopages now, right? I can't wait for kilopage 1.001! Or perhaps page 1.001 x 10^3? Oh well, I'm sure someone will figure it out.

Congratulations, Mistah Siddell!

[darlos9d]

You know, Red's expression there is strangely... normal. Like she doesn't look like some huge stupid jerk.

I kinda wonder if maybe they're just particularly wacky in the ether where they know there's little to no consequences for anything. I wonder if they'd be slightly more sane in the physical world.

Also Jones just debunked my previous idea that the forest people were kept separate simply because they were too insane to deal with. So maybe it's true?

... probably not. But still that expression is interesting.

[Dvandaemon]

Jones you should very well know what happens when you assume, you make an ass out of u and me.

Also, I can't wait until the nice round number of 1024.

[Jay]

I'm loving the 4th panel hand-holding. It seems strangely maternal of Jones..... Like a serious-business mom.....

Giggleblade, of course!

[Kriselia]

Shadow's vacant smiling in panel 6 is just too cute.

Also, woot 1000 pages! Congrats!

[TBeholder]

Not quite 1000, though - there were skips.

I'm under impresion that when someone wreaks havoc in a harmless way, Jones really quietly enjoys the chaos, even if she won't do it herself.

No big surprise here. She plays "uncaring caring" all the time and now found a fellow lonely soul.

[unrequited]

Congratulations on a thousand pages Tom, and I wish for you another glorious thousand!

I agree that Jones is pulling off the ultimate snark. "Subtlety" my rear...

[agasa]

Congratulations on the big round number of awesomeness, Tom! Even if i lurk 99% of the time, i'm always watching.
Annie looks especially pretty in today's strip, especially the last panel, isn't it?

Is it just me or does blue look unhappy?

She's probably just feeling the blues.

With that terrible joke out of the way, she looks more annoyed than unhappy, as if someone just performed an entire page of a raspberry at her. Which incidentally just happened.
