The pft princess has resurfaced! Maybe Fannie represents a "do-over" to Anthony so that's why he has acted differently? |

Oh, hey, cool, Cournnie is being totally awful again! I was getting worried for a couple weeks there.
Seriously, what the hell is this jab about?

If you mean Courtnie, that "not that you care" jab is probably a rhetorical hammer she uses to easily win arguments with Anthony. And I suspect it's become such a habitual go-to that she used it reflexively with Fannie. |

She didn't get cloned right... This is just like the first time Loup "showed" Y, it was his IMPRESSION of Y, not the real one. This Annie is also FIERY, but not... girly/tomboy fiery like we know Annie to still be, more like... like... GUY FIERY

Cookies for everyone who guessed Tony treated forest Annie differently! So they are probably not completely alike. And about Tom Siddell moving to New York; I always wondered why he stayed in Birmingham if he hated it there so much. |

She saw Tony's state of mind in the Donny blinker stone experience, knowing that he does care and using his own personal hangups to walk roughshod over him like that seems really cruel. And sadly not out of character. |

Don't I dare say that! And don't I walk up the stairs while I'm talking to me! I always wondered why he stayed in Birmingham if he hated it there so much. It's probably one of those places you don't like and live there anyway. Every country has those. Black hole cities. I wonder if the change won't influence the comic. I always considered it to be distinguishibly British at the bottom. |

Though I really hate to see them fight again, I kinda get where this is coming from. No wonder Courtnie is quite angry if she basically had to fight with her father for the right to be, and Sylvie just walks in and simply gets along with him. And it's not like Sylvie didn't have reasons to think like she does... There's still the issue of Courtnie being as tactful as an Annie on a bad day though.
Edit: oh and that might be the reason for her aggressive behaviour. 6 months of cold war with your father can do that to you.
And that "Exit" sign is kind of funny, considering the Annies were on its *path* minutes after being sent to a bunker they couldn't possibily leave...
Edit: added the missing word path

And I suspect it's become such a habitual go-to that she used it reflexively with Fannie. I dont think you win arguments by using rhetorical hammers. They tend to loose their effectiveness really quick, and if you use them more than once it just reveals to everyone that you have nothing to back your opinion up.
But then again, the annies are of an age where they think it might work. Sometimes I wonder if Tom REALLY takes this into account (and playing the characters amazingly well), or if we just interpret this and it is genius by accident.

It depends on what you mean by "win." It's not an argument in the rational sense. It pushes a button to make Anthony shut up and give in, so it can be used to win in the sense that (an) Antimony can use it to get her way with things when dealing with her father... and it does push a button with Fannie too, but it's not one that will make Fannie shut up. And it's true that if you push someone's buttons enough they'll lose effectiveness or break entirely but this is a deep-seated issue that Anthony apparently hasn't been able to deal with successfully at all for years and years. Antimony does have a special insight into Anthony's feelings of guilt thanks to Donald but this sort of use is not why Don let her see that hidden side of her father. |

I wonder if it'll change the time it comes out; will it appear later in the day because Tom's now living on the other side of the Atlantic? I've been used to seeing it already up in the mornings. |

one step forward, two steps back.
Geez Pft!Annie, does that mean you hated yourself for allowing him to dictate your makeup?
Sounds like Pft!Annie has had enough of Tony's emotional constipation but Forest!Annie isn't there yet. I wonder if she regrets moving in with him.
Speaking of moving, that's neat about Tom's move! I wonder if he's going to be near the city or more upstate. Personally, I love upstate.

Also, I guess we may assume that Tom still works a few months in advance. |

I am confused. How does this page line up with Courtney claiming "Father and I have finally been able to reconnect." a few pages earlier? What did she mean, then? (I assume she is a real Annie and was not lying back then.) Of course, we will probably not get the answer soon, because Annies have started infighting again. |

I wonder if they'll get around to the whole mother-daughter fire thing as it connect to two Annies. Creating two copies of a person would be weird/hard enough but for Annie in particular, did Loup duplicate the fire elemental somehow?

(I assume she is a real Annie and was not lying back then.) Of course, we will probably not get the answer soon, because Annies have started infighting again. Oh that's easy: If you don't have anything to really compare it to, anything can seem like progress. Courtnie is thinking she's making "real progress" simply by being allowed little things, like wearing makeup again and going out when she wants to. She boasts about it in a competitive way, not knowing what she's truly missing, or that Sylvian Annie has experienced something bounds better. And Sylviannie doesn't know that what she experienced is NOT what Courtnie experiences daily, so has no reason to contradict it. I mean, do note that when Annie is around, Tony is always emotionally locked up tight, and she can only really experience his opening up via second hand accounts (or via Blinker spying, which isn't possible anymore). When she can't experience what she's missing, she can't miss it... |

Perhaps the reconnection has been more one sided than Pft!Annie thinks. I don't think she went in after her forest visit going "ok daddio, here's how things are gonna be" but that may have been the result. Tony, loaded with guilt and wanting to make things better and pretty much zero parenting instinct from what we've seen, probably just goes along with it. |

I wonder where that staircase is going to lead them. Probably not the original bunker, I'm guessing. It looks somewhat more civilized than the rest of the "Underground Sewer Level," with the curving handrails and changes in the ominous gray wall to a nicer color.
Also, I'm thinking Courtnie's "reconnecting" consisted of dragging bringing Tony from a zero to a one on the warmth meter, while Fannie, for whatever reason, seems to have skipped ahead.

Let's say we are at two-thirds to four-fifths of this comic, why would it make any difference? And he lived in both the USA and Britain (and Spain) when he was a kid, if I remember correctly. |
