And Carver, what's with the attitude? Jealous? Nah, can't be!

Why do people think Jenny's being hostile? Other than the over-the-shoulder glance in the second-to-last panel (which could be meaningless), she didn't really do much in the way of... anything really. If anything, Carver's back to her standoffish aloofness. ('night again, fwip) I'm don't know whether she is being hostile, but I think that the overall appearance makes her look like she is. It's mainly that I cannot see much of her face besides a small part of one eyebrow (that is pointing downwards, making it look like she's cross),the wider part of one eye, which makes her look like she's glaring, and possibly some of her mouth (which would be set in, at most, a neutral expression). Agreed. Quite a change from the last page to her face after the boat trip comment. I can foresee Jack doing a lot of explaining behind the scene.. - "so, who's that b*itch, Jack, and why did we go to say hello to her? what boat trip? what..." - "...oh, I can explain babe, it's not what it looks like, I'm not using you to make someone else jealous, I mean..."

Jack - 'This is my girlfriend Jenny. I think you already know her phone number, so we can plan out that Karaoke.'

Though I don't really think she's jealous. I think she's not sure how she feels about Jack. I guess it's more like, "o boy, everybody seems to be arranging in couples. What about me?". Pretty normal.

I'm glad it isn't Zimmy, but I'm not really feeling Jack this chapter. He was one of my favorite side characters, and it's been forever since he showed up. Hope he can redeem himself later on, 'cause he seems pretty pathetic thus far.

We haven't had too many 'new student' characters in a while at Gunnerkrigg. Ever since the mediocre characters with no special talents just kinda disappeared off the face of the earth (I'm looking at you, Will and Janet), most of the newer up-and-coming introductions ended up having some arcane or ethereal component mixed into them. Jack being no exception, since he was turned into an arachno-nut. I'm just saying that at this point, Tom has made it incredibly clear that if a person isn't tied to the ether by some means, they're too muggle-like for the comic... Kat and her particular romances excluded, of course. So I would think that Jenny has some special role to play aside from eye candy or Annie/Zimmy-bait.
On a related note, I can't wait to see what Zimmy thinks of her cleaner, well-dressed doppelganger.

Side note: the ultimate listing of comics isn't updating anymore ? It stopped at the end of Tall tales.

(I'm looking at you, Will and Janet) Janet has the Steadman archery powers. That's been confirmed to be supernormal. And what about Winsbury? He has no powers (no, being the best driver does not count). And, of course, one wonders how the Headmaster became the head of the Court without one (the answer, of course, is that he has a currently-unrevealed power).

Tom knows his community so well. Bet he would be good at pulling off gambits.

What I just have to say is, I cannot contain my awe, at how masterfully Tom is playing us. Oscar, Grammy and one million internets for You, Tom.

Well, the expected path confirmed. I wonder if Jenny here knows that Jack approached her because she resembled someone else.
Anyways, I hope that we'll get to see Zimmy and Gamma for real on the next page. Those two ought to have interesting comments to share.
EDIT: Incidentally, it's funny how these threads always swell within the first hour when the subject is romantic relationships.

Jack - 'This is my girlfriend Jenny. I think you already know her phone number, so we can plan out that Karaoke.' That's what I was going to say! (Sing it with me...) This still, of course, leaves the mystery of how Jack suddenly aged ten times faster than everybody else. Boy looks like he should be going to college soon! SOUL PATCH. (Edit: I know some kids go through puberty faster but he's starting to look like Eggers or something)

Annie has a new necklace: an anchor instead of her alchemical antimony symbol. Is that just because she is going on a boat trip?

The anchor is sewn/bedazzled on Annie's outfit, but the way the necklace is drawn makes it hard to tell. The only reason I am so confident is because I saw the Chapter 39 outfit sketch from his Patreon page. I believe you are right that the cruise inspired her nautical theme.
