Has she tried checking the room with the cherry tree? Called it! Wooooo. This is the first time in like 6 years that I've ever been right. (I know, I know, late to the game. I've been locked up in my house for a few days due to crazy snow.) This was the room where Annie told Kat that she was all she had left in the world. I'm thinking GK Sierra's right, just Annie feeling like she's losing her BFFL. When two single people are BFFLs, they can share in all the weird inanity of life, but they can't when one of them starts dating seriously. I mean, there are people who talk about every single detail of their relationships to their BFFs, but there is always that line where you respect that stuff that happens between them is between THEM, because it's THEIR private relationship (at least, that's how it works in my world). I think Annie just feels a bit sad that she's not moving on in life the way Kat is. Kat's growing up and experiencing all this Paz, and stuff, and Annie... has no one. She led Jack on for a while in an attempt to break his heart, and _______ that went on with Kamlen, but they weren't for seriouses. So do we see Annie fall in love eventually?

It'd be interesting if it DIDN'T happen. She's the main character.

Some guy on page 4 of this thread kind of went on a little bit about the same kind of think you just said, exdevlin. Pretty solid post.

Well, how long Muut has been around, since Old Kingdom of Egypt I take? If you can count your lifespan in thousands of years, WW1 may seem to be a quite relative occurrence. Muut originates from Native American Cahuilla tribe, not ancient Egypt. But you have a point about relativity of age for near-immortsl spirits. Also, Mort may not even have manifested as a ghost until decades after his death for all we know; we don't know how ghosts are born, after all. Native American? But he looks... so... birdie-headed. ...but why did I think being an owl-headed man implies you're Egyptian (of all places) spirit in the first place? I don't even know any beings from Egyptian mythology that were owl-headed. Jumping into conclusions, no good. Also, now I got this daunting feeling that there's something else I've misunderstood. (I've been reading this comic for four years! Four years! And yet a new member entertaining such misconceptions. And that's terrible.)

Jumping into conclusions, no good. Maybe because animal-headed gods are associated with Egypyt and there is an Egyptian god named Ma'at -- not animal headed, and actually a gooddess, but still? I guessed pretty early on that Muut is Native American only because his buckskin trousers were pretty distinct design and not exactly like Egyptian kilts, and a quick Google-search did the rest.

From what little I've read on the subject, I believe Muut was just an owl in the original Cahuilla stories. Showing him as a human with an owl head is all Tom.

Muut was the personification and messenger of death in the Cahuilla Native American culture, and was usually depicted as an owl or as the unseen hooting of owls.
