Two hair clips. But only one necklace.

Unattractively so, I am afraid. Too many masculine attributes make females rather unattractive - to me at least. I prefer women soft, and round in other places than biceps  |

Good thing Smits doesn’t agree with you. Either that or he just likes girls who are Parley-shaped, whatever shape that may be... |

That last panel is basically "just in case anyone didn't quite get the scale of how big Parley is now".
Human Growth Hormone+++ is an understatement for what she has been given.

Nobody asked to be subjected to your opinion on how to be conventionally attractive by narrow standards. |

I'm quite happy for Smitty and given his blushing and blank thought ballons, he is too. Fun Times can be Fun Acrobatic Times in no time flat. |

so, next page we'll see two annies dangling in the air while Parley tries to shake out the Loup-element of one of them?

Parley will attempt to smoosh the two of you together back into one!

I guess they understand full well that one of the Annies has to be a spy for Loup, so it's wise to first deal with that situation before discussing where the artefacts are.

Two hair clips. But only one necklace. When Loup copied Annie he copied her with all her clothes and the hair clip. I think she didn't bring her necklace when she went to the forest. Maybe that's why? Cool catch though! |

Since by now the direction and tone of the story have indicated that Tom's going for "They're both the real Annie" rather than "one's an impostor working for Loup", I hope the rest of the cast won't be taking the suspicious route towards them for long; it'll feel as if they're falling behind. I wondered whether the "before we get to that part" might be something like Andrew being no longer Court Medium because there's no longer a demand for that position, now that the Court and Forest's diplomatic ties have been severed. |

I still don't feel like we're meant to see them as equals (yet) though, not that Courtnie has to be an impostor or a false Annie, but she's not the story's protagonist. In the RotD, when there were more than one POV, Tom did give us a glimpse of the other side (ha ha, RotD, other side, get it?). So far we've been firmly on Fannie's side. Although it's still too soon too tell, and seeing how symmetric that last panel is, maybe the unequal treatment is about to end. Also after saying "I should have gone into the forest with you", Parley's sounds already beyond the suspicious route IMHO. It doesn't mean they don't want answers though, and getting them might be sligthly unpleasant for both Annies. |

They were sloppy about naming a Court medium before, back when Coyote's promise not to attack was in effect. Now that the chaotic Loup is in charge, has attacked, has devastated large areas of the Court, and continues low level conflict (bound dogs & shadow men), Id think that they would want to keep a medium quite handy, in case a negotiation opportunity presents itself (whether for a truce or a resolution of some sort). |

My bet is exactly this. They know Annie all to well(including her bad qualities), and have picked up on the tension between her two selves. They're going to make them hug or shake hands, and Parley is there to "enforce" the activity. |

I prefer women soft, and round in other places than biceps Your comment just reminded me of something said in the comic years ago. Parley's dad predicted her birth down to the minute details but got one thing wrong: her sex! Do you think it might have something to do with her training making her more masculine, so her dad thought that the Parley he saw was a boy...hence GEORGE!!! #MINDBLOWN |

If anything the poster is reaffirming female identity, and you cannot be sexist against males, right? |

If anything the poster is reaffirming female identity, and you cannot be sexist against males, right? You managed to cram so much wrong into so few words that it's hard to know where to start. I'm not sure what "reaffirming female identity" is supposed to mean, but saying that women have to be a certain way is obviously sexist. Not that the original poster necessarily did that (though you seem to have interpreted it as such), though they seem to only care about whether a woman is attractive or not regardless of how relevant that is to anything. And obviously you can be sexist against males, not that that has anything to do with anything that's been discussed. |

If that is wrong, then I will certainly own up to it. And I don't see how having certain attractions is sexist, but again, maybe I'm wrong. If you are attracted to beards, does that make you sexist for not liking men without beards? And as far the reaffirming female identity goes, the poster was saying he liked the feminine form, since the complaint was that Parley looked too masculine. |

People are allowed to be attracted to what they're attracted to. In other news: I've been studying the last panel, trying to figure out if Courtnie and Fannie are drawn on-model. Looks like yes, but the foreshortening employed is subtly suggesting that Parlie Parley is shadowing Courtnie a little closer than Fannie. For reference:  |
