But...Didn't quite a few people recognize them?

Some people did recognize them (posts in Friday's thread etc), but it's probably still a useful page for more ... casual readers.

Yeah I definitely knew who they were as soon as I saw their beautiful interpersonal dynamic. How could I ever forget The Terrible Tragedy of the Crumpled Up Paper Catapult?

Good to see Tea's still around, at least.
The comic can't get too serious for silly bits with Tea, right?

 Wow, these guys look WAAAY different from the last time we saw them in Ch 28, pg 5. No wonder Tea felt the need to point them out to us! |

It's a good thing Tom decided to let us know. I would never have been able to unravel this mistery by myself.
Now I can finally confirm these two are Jones and the short bald guy in disguise.

Did anyone read the comments to the previous pages? How well did the people in the comments do?

Did anyone read the comments to the previous pages? How well did the people in the comments do? Most people in the page comments knew who it was on Friday. Maybe Tom wants to make sure that readers look back and remember what the agents were doing in Spring Heeled, specifically they were trying to capture Jack who had gone off the deep end and they were willing to follow Jones' lead. It is almost likely they aren't entirely evil or something strange like that. |

But...Didn't quite a few people recognize them? Maybe Tom was being sarcastic? (It's difficult to tell whether you're being serious or sarcastic when there's no tone of voice to accompany the words.) |

One does, however, have one's memory become shot from one staying up too late at night every Monday, Wednesday and Friday waiting for Gunnerkrigg Court to update because it's a British webcomic and one lives on the eastern coast of the United States, resulting in a six hour time difference. |

(Reminder of Tom's 46-month buffer.) ^^ Tom mentioned in one of his videos that he started the comic with one chapter buffer and had always wanted to keep it. (wouldn't that be 46 days though?) |

Hmm... Still too vague. It could be anyone, really.
Annie's mother and the Robot King?

Well excuse you, Tom! I did, in fact, recognise them.

(wouldn't that be 46 days though?) 1/4 of the people in the comments are acting surprised that nobody in the last comments section got it, 1/4 are lambasting Tom for not letting the readers figure it out themselves 1/4 are saying "nice hint" and the last 1/4 are saying "I knew who they were!" |

(Reminder of Tom's 46-month buffer.) I believe you meant 4 to 6 month buffer. A buffer almost four hears long would be pretty amazing though. I also thought his comments were much more current, but I can't recall why. |

Yeah, it's kind of sad that not many people seem to get that it's just a meta joke. I interpret this joke as being in the same vein as the joke of pointing out that a character isn't Eglamore. He knows that most people know that, but he's just poking fun about it anyway. |

I also thought his comments were much more current, but I can't recall why. As I understand it, the pages have a buffer, but the comments are added on the night of the update. 1/4 of the people in the comments are acting surprised that nobody in the last comments section got it, 1/4 are lambasting Tom for not letting the readers figure it out themselves 1/4 are saying "nice hint" and the last 1/4 are saying "I knew who they were!"

He knows that most people know that, but he's just poking fun about it anyway. That joke is more well-known on the Forum than to the average reader, I suspect. Not least because it's reached memetic status here. Some people did recognize them (posts in Friday's thread etc), but it's probably still a useful page for more ... casual readers. One does not simply casually read Gunnerkrigg Court. One does, however, have one's memory become shot from one staying up too late at night every Monday, Wednesday and Friday waiting for Gunnerkrigg Court to update because it's a British webcomic and one lives on the eastern coast of the United States, resulting in a six hour time difference. Preach, brother! git gud, n00bs Yeah I definitely knew who they were as soon as I saw their beautiful interpersonal dynamic. How could I ever forget The Terrible Tragedy of the Crumpled Up Paper Catapult? These two have always been some of my favorite characters. No, seriously! I'm really happy that robots and humans can interact as equals and friends in the Gunnerverse, and these to were my evidence. |

More importantly, look at Juliette's reaction. She HATES it when people break the fourth wall.

So that's why Paz had to change her style.

It's almost like everyone outside the forum doesn't spend hours cultivating an encyclopedic knowledge of the webcomic! Which would be absurd, of course. |
