Unless you are given permission, you cannot use someone else's blinker stone. Mort can not spy on Annie, even if he wanted to.

Hey Tom, will have you have more cameos from other webcomics in the strip? Just curious.

There are no plans to do so.

Not sure if this has come up before, but are blinker stones common in the Gunnerkrigg universe? And this is probably straying into plot territory, but can humans make them or do they all come from sources like Mort? They are about as common as gemstones are in real life. That is to say they aren't unheard of, but you don't really see them around that much. Where they come from is unknown. How do someone get one? If where they come from is unknown I suppose you can't just enter into a jeweler and buy one (and Mort would have some problem with that, anyway). So how Mort and Donald get one? |

You get one by someone giving it to you, or finding one that doesn't belong to anyone. It's not usually very easy, which is why passing it on to someone else means a lot.

Exactly what is the breakdown of Sullivan's John's name? Is his first name Sullivan's and his middle name John, is John his last name, is his first name Sullivan's John (two words) and his middle and last names something else, is his family name Sullivan and they just have an odd way of identifying themselves, or what? I do think it's a really catchy name, mind you, especially for a "bard".  |

I have gone too long without asking more questions. Ai, I have been shamed by this too. umm, Tom, Will Mort's Past Ever Be Revealed? Will The Bird Boy Ever Come Back (I mean, I assume not, but thought I'd ask)? Will Muut Ever Own A Shirt? |

When Reynardine possesses someone, does the possessed person's soul leave the body as soon as he possesses it (which would explain why the body dies once he leaves it - there'd be nothing left to give it life), or when he hops out of it?

Sorry if I insist on this, but what I mean is where do you find one? Unless it happen by pure serendipity, i.e. you just walk by the road and "happen" to find one, I suppose that someone that want to find one will some idea where to start searching for it. note: If for some reason you can't answer this,(i.e. because it could spoil future stories or simply because you just didn't thought about it so much (Hey,It's cool ) ) Just say it, It would be enough for me.  Another thing, Are you familiar with the JAGS wonderland RPG? Thank you. |

Hi Tom,
Question question: Is Reynardine only able to use his lock-picking skills in toy form, or can he use them in wolf form as well?
And another: What's your favorite thing about hosting/posting/illustrating/writing a webcomic? Least favorite thing?
And one more: If it was Coyote's birthday (if he even has one) what present would he like most?
Thanks!

The worst thing: The Internet 3, Coyote's favourite present would be everyone celebrating him and his birthday. |

The Internet in general, or are there certain things that get your goat? Is there anything we could do, or refrain from doing, if that's the problem, that could make things more pleasant for you?

OK.
What can cause a character's speech bubble color to change (aside from honest error as with the gardener guy)?

1. my2k is a moderator. And there isn't much to do here, as Tom pointed out somewhere (or was it a dream?): the people here are generally not jerks. 2. I think the color scheme is intentional. It's similar to the page, the twitter box and to the color scheme on Tom's pc. I can understand there not being much of a need for additional mods, but I'm talking about people who can change the structure of the forum for the better; adding some more discussion boards so everything isn't so condensed and making some custom graphics and smilies so this forum actually looks like it's officially associated with a popular webcoimic would be an excellent place to start. It wouldn't take a great deal of effort, just some time and dedication. I could probably make this place a bit more high-class, and I know I'm not the most qualified person on here. If Tom wants to keep the forum simple, I'm fine with that. It's a quaint little spot to discuss the comic, but that's all it is. I just want to make sure he knows the potential this place has and that it wouldn't take much to help realize it. |

Okay, question time! Hopefully answer time will follow. 1. The shadow-men, being created by Coyote and having Muut as their psychopomp, appear to be native to the American southwest. Did they emigrate to Europe along with Coyote? Or did they arrive in Gillitie Wood at some other time, by some other method? 2. Muut seems to consistently refer to himself as "We" when he visits Antimony by the river. Is this just an idiosyncrasy, or is he intentionally referring to all psychopomps collectively? 3. Did Mort make the request for the delivery of the blinker stone before or after Annie fell off of the bridge? 4. Who did Mort ask to make the delivery, if he was later surprised that Annie knew Muut? ( Page 155) 5. Do you expect that there will ever be an unambiguously homosexual or bisexual character in Gunnerkrigg Court? Thank you in advance, Tom, if you can take the time to answer any of these questions. |

But then again, some people say that about all the characters anyway, so who knows? The comic is not really about sexual preference, however. |

I waded through the members list and found you to be the only member to hold the title Administrator. I know you're a busy guy, and I think asking you to spend who knows how long working on a forum to boot would be rather unreasonable. So why don't you appoint some additional administrators? They can add some custom graphics, additional boards, and remix the color scheme (the off-indigo just feels a little...off). 1. my2k is a moderator. And there isn't much to do here, as Tom pointed out somewhere (or was it a dream?): the people here are generally not jerks. 2. I think the color scheme is intentional. It's similar to the page, the twitter box and to the color scheme on Tom's pc. Given enough time and attention, the forum would eventually need to be replaced with something bigger, and there will almost definitely be an influx of people you will dislike. If you like the small, quiet community, pray that this never happens, and that Tom's work never extends beyond it's humble glimmer of popularity. I'm not really sure if I'm serious or joking, anymore. I think I shall go to bed. |

Also, here's a couple questions for Tom, before I go;
1. What could Reynardine do if he jumped into a mechanical body? Robot, for example.
2. Would said robot "Die" after Reynardine leaves?
3. Does anything with eyes of some sort count as a body? Even, say, a computer terminal? (You probably can guess where my imagination is going, here)
