(whispers) ...dudes might find Galatea really interesting... I looked up the profile of Jones on the Gunnerkrigg Wikia (to see if I'm missing anything that's already explained this phenomena) and read this about her and Dr. Randy Disaster: "They have been said by Tom himself to be dating." Wuuuuuuut? Someone once formspring'd a question asking if Jones and Randy have seen movies together before. The answer was something to the effect of yes, they see movies together occasionally. That's the only thing I can think that statement could be based on. So it's technically true but I think there's an implication in the Wiki context that Mr. Siddell has said that Jones and Randy are engaged in a romantic relationship and I believe that is not the case. I want to say that actually was shot down at some point but the formspring search engine is no more...

Wuuuuuuut? Inaccuracy on a wiki site? Who could have seen that coming? ;D

Wuuuuuuut? Inaccuracy on a wiki site? Who could have seen that coming? ;D Yeah. No harm in using it as a reference when you're too lazy to look crap up. But who knows if it's "inaccurate?" It may not be inaccurate, more like least likely, but plausible to happen. I mean, just look at all the men Jones took names from. It's arguable that she might've had romantic relationships with them or at least some sort of romantic undertone.

She was awfully interested in getting Parley and Smitty together. Or she was just pushing the obvious to see what happens. If she knew what Parley felt (and I'm pretty sure she did), I think there were only two people in all of the Court who didn't. And are folks really wondering what the scandal is? It's Mr. Langdon, at his age, having a daughter of Jones' apparent age who has been in hiding and never mentioned for her entire life to date. STRONG implication that the old coot was having an affair two or three decades earlier. Which for quite a long time was a serious shame upon the child. (Pretty much an unforgivable shame for a while, although both parents could work past it.)

Whatever Jones is, she seems naturally able to win the hearts of men. Perhaps without even trying? [...] My theory is that she secretes some kind of weird hormone that makes men attracted to her, perhaps unconditionally, and that she's able to control this. As we see in "Several Years Ago", Eglamore doesn't exactly cotton to her advances, but later on in the timeline he is in a close relationship with her nevertheless. Good point. Yeah, I wonder what Tom is trying to convey here with Jones. Maybe her ability to attract men will be explained later (or we're just over-looking this aspect). I wonder if this ability is done intentionally or like you said, a hormone that she gives off and an involuntary, alluring aura. Ala, mermaids and nereids of myth; when out of water, they attract men unwittingly and usually were friendly and helpful to sailors. okay, mermaids of the myths attracting the fishers and sailors... that might have something to do with their relatively good looks and bare breasts, you don't need magic or secreting magic hormones for that. The sailor's have the hormones themselves and at sea even a less attractive pair of naked tits would do the thing. I think we're having something similar with Jones. She is attractive. I think that aside from the cartoon characters of Gunnerverse, pretty much every man on the forum thinks that too, yet we are not under influence by any magic hormones that she would secrete. Maybe it should not be very hard to understand this equation: Jones is smoking hot + men find hot chicks attractive = Jones attracts men. Mystery solved. ;D

I think we're missing an important aspect of this page: Old Man Langdon has an Eyepatch, and this is awesome.

Yo! First time poster here, too. Your post brought me to my unique and fallacious realization: Jones is.......an android made by Diego to resemble Jeanne! And that's why she's attracted to Sir Young-ish types. She has daddy issues. You heard it here first.

Although, it seemed like they were just joking. But the second part of your theory is rather interesting and plausible! Dunno about the daddy issues since, well, wouldn't she have mommy issues as well since she doesn't have parents?

routine is just a emulation of Tom Marvolo Riddle adopting the new name Lord Voldemort. Or how "Tom Pthrark Squiddle" becomes "Skipper Plumbthroat" if you rotate the Ds and Q by 180 degrees.
