I guess Zimmyzims deleting theirs indicates this to be the proper one?

Can't wait to meet Jenny's cat named Salem.

Random observation - Jack's second hair fang is back, just like old times.
..so who could be the tutor? Anyone we know?

Darn. One of those pages where you're drowned to potential title and link lines.
In aftermath, this time the short cut of taking the very first bubble would have been a good solution too: "I hoped I'd never see this place again". Or the second one "It's wonderful! Beautiful!" We both focused to the witch's inability to help Annie, but maybe Jack's humorous attitude when sailing to Zimmingham, and even more so pseudo-Zimmy's insisting rise in sympathy by actually finding Zimmingham beautiful, would have been as much worth a note? She seems to be quite at home in Zimmingham. Or that's what she thinks. For now. Hmmm... I wonder whether we get to Rey already this Friday, or whether we still see the kids chatting for one page, and won't follow the vessel to the Court before next week, if then... or whether, finally, we only meet Rey when he appears to the Zimmingham ship with the cavalry. |

Ahhh, Jenny, can my love for you grow any more? I did not think so, but here we are.
Also, Britishism or not, I am having a hard time not thinking "My Love" is a bit too personal. But then again I don't really like it when people call me sweetie or hon either. Maybe I'm just not a people person.

No, I reckon Tom will set up some sort of big danger, leave it on a cliffhanger with the treatise, then have Rey come in with backup next chapter/book. Hopefully following the time honoured kids cartoon tradition of solving the life-threatening cliffhanger via some inconsequential means in the first panel of the next comic. |

Or suction. Etheric glue! Also I instantly distrust Jenny now for actually LIKING Zimmingham... It's the sort of place a goth would like... until they find out that it isn't makeup and decorations. That, too. She didn't see actually nasty stuff... yet. It's mostly just escherified Birmingham for now, which is cool. Crumbling concrete around etheric stations doesn't really cut it in comparison. And as likely as not she didn't see (close up) any really cool places like behind the canyon. Can't wait to meet Jenny's cat named Salem. She said she's a witch, not an American.  |

While I'm fairly sure this little escapade will spill over into another chapter, I don't think it's going into Vol. 6. The books have been fairly closely bound to the school year so far, and the current chapter would only be #8 in vol. 5.

Also: Annie, love, you really should remember enough about this place to 'GOP' anyone you meet (although I'm pretty sure everyone's in, this time).

That's actually kinda sweet. But hey, I guess you shouldn't date someone if you're not going to agree on a mood for your trips inside someone else's mind.
But hey, these three stayed together after entering Zimmyngham. I wonder if the locations of everyone stays proportional. Maybe the rest of the students are right around the block... but that'd be too easy, I'm guessing.

Two, Nah variations of "love" is definitely a British thing if not European thing. Kinda like the states using variations of "sweet" |

This makes me think of Kiki's delivery service rather than Sabrina, and then I think about Jiji the cat and how he will never talk again and I wanna cry :<. I love that Jenny likes Zimmingham, at least based on the way it looks. I think she's kind of like what Jack imagined Zimmy to be, but the two actually have quite different personalities. |

I hope they remember poking everyone they meet. Jack seems quite... enthusiastic to be back. It may have given him greater mental capabilities and possibly his new-found appreciation of Goth chicks, but I'd guess it would be still quite traumatic. Or he's having a nervous breakdown and trying to play it cool. "Hahahaa, I hoped I'd never see this place again, Hahahaha. I'm fine, I'll just go around this corner and spend some time in a fetal position, screaming..." Interesting thing I just noticed: Only about a year ago in comic time we were dealing with this milksop, that's quite a makeover. Book wise we'd be at about 230 pages currently. Assuming we'll wrap this one up soon in a cliffhanger, I'd guess there's one chapter, possibly two if they're short, to go. Plus Treatise and CityFace. The whole "my love" thing seems weird to me too. I'm no expert, but in most cases I've seen where (mostly English) people are casually calling others something like that, its been rendered as just "luv" and only if the people were close. Annie and Jenny literally just met. AFAIK the full "My Love" is reserved for the respective SO. Of course it might be a regional thing or just a quirk of hers and people actually living in the UK will know better. |

Heh, now I imagine Jack telling his classmates stories about Zimmingham to give them a scare; Jenny heard one of those fascinating tales and got interested in this charming young man... |

"Hahahaa, I hoped I'd never see this place again, Hahahaha. I'm fine, I'll just go around this corner and spend some time in a fetal position, screaming..." I can see this. Though I can also see it as defiance. Laughing in the face of his greatest fear. Also, he's not alone this time. He may hold up yet. |

Can't wait to meet Jenny's cat named Salem. I'm more inclined to think that her cat may be named Brad, possibly Sheldon, maybe even Nora. Etheric glue! Also I instantly distrust Jenny now for actually LIKING Zimmingham... It's the sort of place a goth would like... until they find out that it isn't makeup and decorations. Because we're in Gunnerkrigg, I'm inclined to think she's a genuine Nightmare fetishist. Well, there would definitely be some humor points if any horror shows up and Jenny's the only one smiling in awe like she is now, while everybody else is either shocked in horror or panic, or in case of Annie, getting her game face on. So is the lack of annie's facial scar significant? Tom would not do things thoughtlessly. I definitely did not noticed that. Definitely something is going on. Everything will all go downhill if it turns out all of this is NOT in Zimmy's head anymore. |

If Tom *did* end this chapter n a cliffhanger, followed by two weeks of "City Face" before we returned to the story, it would be a real test of the side-strip's popularity - would the readers spend the two weeks protesting leaving us hanging like this, or would they beg Tom to make it three weeks or more?
(One other possibility if it ends on a cliffhanger, followed by a Treatise and a two-week hiatus - the next chapter doesn't open with the resolution of what happened on board the cruise ship, but with the first day of the new school year for the boy who used to be a horned rabbit, who becomes the new protagonist for a while - and no mention of what became of Annie, Kat, and the rest, until a few chapters later, Tom finally makes the revelation of how this story ended.)

T-T No pls. There have been others like this. Did not enjoy. Can't we just go on normally? There is no quota to be filled, is there? |

Those two must be terribly confident that they (or Jenny at least) can suppress any horror that they might encounter there.
Gamma's body language suggests otherwise.
