The twist is that Coyote has been dead the whole time and now Annie will guide him to the afterlife. Also, could we get the chapter title in the thread title? My gosh, I'm such a clutz. Done. I saw this, and I immediately thought of the bone laser. You and me, amigo, we know what's going on... Tony's terrible bone laser crimes will be exposed to the UN general assembly sooner or later...

When I saw this I thought that maybe the secret is that he's working with Anthony.
Is that really Coyote's skull, it looks kinda thick.

I think it is Coyote, but if it's not Coyote, it could be Sivo.

I wonder if the great secret is about the bismuth seed?

Great. I wanted to stay away until this chapter was finished even if it would break my soul just so I could read it all at once but now this speculation about who the skull belongs to is dragging me in.
My guess is that this chapter is going to have to do with Eglamore.
By the way, I think the whole site just got updated? Looks nice.
Edit: And now it's back to normal. I'm pretty sure I'm not crazy and the page was slightly remodeled for a minute. Tom must be testing the new format?

I wonder what the secret is? My prediction is: we won't learn the secret. We might learn something about the secret, but not the actual secret. (I see a few other people are saying pretty much the same thing.) Oh, those teeth don't look to me like Coyote's from prior strips. Too much wear, too few teeth, too short a jaw. I would say they are most likely Ysengrin's.

That looks like a coyote's jaw to me! Or a canid's jaw, regardless. Other than that, we won't get (m)any answers just yet. I think we will get a frame within which we can hang our questions.

That looks like a coyote's jaw to me! Or a canid's jaw, regardless. *A* coyote, or other canid, agreed. But not Coyote, for the reasons I indicated earlier. And Reynardine is a shapeshifter who doesn't currently have a real canid body. In canid form he has a more realistic jaw-length than Coyote does, but I'd expect the teeth to be idealized. That leaves Ysengrin, who as far as we've seen is in a natural wolf body (inside the shell motivated by his terrifying skills of gardening) without any sort of shapeshifting ability. Good candidate for realistic, worn canid teeth. Plus, of course, a few Black Dogs - no reason to expect them to show up. And canids we haven't met yet - ditto.

He's only as stylicized as he wants to be. Though at this point I feel that it would almost be too straightforward for that to be his skull. Then again, maybe this time the twist is that it's actually all perfectly straightforward, who knows?

(I see a few other people are saying pretty much the same thing.) Hahaha. Knowing how Jigsaw puzzle-y this plot is, that's so true. Or maybe we'll learn the secret but not exactly what it means in the grand scheme of things. I wouldn't want it any other way. Even though it's unlikely, I hope it has something to do with Mort. I'd like to find out his greater significance to the plot.

I'm pretty sure it's a reference to this page. Ysrengrin didn't look happy about whatever great secret Coyote has to tell. I detected a distinct 'hurf' of discontent.

I think that may be a coyote's skull, yes. I wonder if that is a reference to when we saw a coyote skull in a flashback Annie had of her mother and father (can't find the page right now). It was a dream. There's nothing to say it wasn't a dream of something that had previously happened. Especially with Tom's comment underneath that "Annie always wondered about the "still"."

"Technically" that was a dream. Not a flashback. Most likely it was a dream that showed us what actually happened, but still, it was a dream. /nitpicking

Pretty sure that it was a flashback dream and the Skull represented coyote forcing his way into her memories, something which only a page later Annie was a lil pissed at Coyote for (thus confirming that.) That looks like a coyote's jaw to me! Or a canid's jaw, regardless. Other than that, we won't get (m)any answers just yet. I think we will get a frame within which we can hang our questions. Nah that coyote skull looks far smaller bone structure than the chapter image and has much smaller teeth, this leads me to believe it's another larger canid with a more powerful jaw (Chuckles maybe? Couldn't be reynard as foxes have even less powerful jaw muscles than coyotes and smaller teeth.) EDIT again: Large Northern Wolf Skull for compare, see how the bones and teeth are much thicker and structure is less streamlined. Then again there are so many sub-breeds of wolves I could end up entirely wrong.
