And in that timeline there is all-out war between the court and the forest?

Cookies for people who advocated the timeline/time shift theory. Also, Saslamel just apparently corrected Skippy the just-a-translator there regarding Coyote which is evidence (though not proof) Saslamel isn't just a Wizard-of-Oz-like facade that Skippy uses. I was skeptical (and still am a little) and Skippy's use of the word "we" previously still suggests he's more than just a translator but for the moment I'm willing to accept that Saslamel is what he (according to his translator) claims.

Who had "alternate timeline" on their "where did Court Annie come from?" chart?
The Court Annie alternate universe must have been roughly about the same as the original, since nobody seemed to notice anything wrong.
Unless everybody in her universe is more jerkish, like a slightly annoying version of the Dark Mirror universe from "Star Trek."

Well that's both interesting and kinda dark.
In that timeline, I wonder how everyone reacted to Annie never returning.
Maybe the next page will show it, maybe we will never know!
Oh that Loup, up to no good.

And in that timeline there is all-out war between the court and the forest? At least from the perspective of this timeline it should exist in the ether where all sorts of stories (even contradictory ones) can be, but it wouldn't impact this Gunnerverse's reality unless something powerful caused an intersection or brought something else, which could be from any point in that timeline... Which I suppose means that from this perspective it doesn't exist as much or in the same way. But this Antimony could go back and the plot could proceed as if she'd never been shifted, only she and "Loup" and maybe a few other beings would know; the bureaucracy should be instantly aware of the shift in her ownership contract when she appears. [edit] "Loup" being closer to or in the ether means there's no necessity for more than one of him but even if there's more than one of him "Loup" is still "Loup" and should know what he's doing if he wants to, and in this case he should want to. He might continue to make diversions so that the people of the Court don't bother him but he has no more reason to attack the Court than before. If Fannie returns to her original timeline then this one would cease to have any demonstrable characteristic of existence though Fannie would have experienced it and it would still arguably exist in the ether alongside anything else. If she doesn't return to the original point where she was shifted from then the people in the Court would experience her absence, unless she returns before she left for the Woods in which case there'd be another requested Antimony surplus. In that case I vote for the younger Antimony to be called Fannie 2. [/edit] |

And that was the moment Kat's research on RoBodies halted, and she focused on interdimensional travel.

Sounds like a spin-off series about visiting Communist Gunnerkrigg, Nazi Gunnerkrigg, Ice Age Gunnerkrigg etc. except it starts to get weird toward the end with Cro-Magnon aliens, what was up with that. |

And of all these alternate universes, only Jones remained unchanged. |

Perhaps he's Saslamel's familiar. Maybe. He might just be a wandering foil with no plot relevance now that the contract's signed and the exposition's been exposited. On some pages Skippy sure seems to be saying things that he wouldn't if he was just a translator but that can be explained away because the medium of webcomic causes dialogue to be shorter and/or different; in order to avoid overdialouging and cluttering the page words sometimes get clipped and speech bubbles can be entirely omitted, at least compared to what conversation flow should be irl or in a more word-friendly format. The one lone thing I dislike about comics is that space requirements once in a while will push the plot in directions that the same characters in other media wouldn't naturally follow. |

I wonder if Reynard in the other timeline also got familiar'd, despite not having his Annie there.

:slow, deep gasp:
....a timeline where Annie never returned? Lost and presumed dead to her forlorn friends and family?
....Coyote is, indeed, dead? (technically dead? with perhaps trails that allow him to be brought back...?)
Fear of the unknown isn't the only fear out there. Horror does sometimes does come with clarity.

We could be in for a classic Gunnerkrigg reversal on the next page:
Clippy: "Well, yes, I sup..."
Arbiter: "Words"
Clippy: "Huh. It seems that the other world was erased not long after it was created, so it would seem not."

Maybe the bonus page for this chapter, I guess? The sad thing about what we just learned is that it means there is one Annie that could legitimateness (I had to check that in the dictionary), while the other might have to be sent back to her timeline. That might be what Kat's reaction is leading to. This would mean that we would lose the two-Annies development, and that we would technically only get half the story (I doubt the comic goes on to follow both timelines)... Edit: wait, would the goose water and lake bone have been lost also in the alternate timeline? |

I'm going to side step this parallel dimension stuff and talk about something else: I don't like that Coyote is "not supposed to do things". Coyote is measured, calculated, unfettered chaos; he's not supposed to be dictated by some stuffy government agency! He's a god!  He's our weird little chaotic space dog. Why am I so upset by this? |

That universe, surely, is the same one we've followed all this time? I theorize that we will go back to that one with "our" Annie.

Yet, Renard had to obey both Annies. It would seem some things crossover between dimensions? This is rather confusing. I'm a fan of there being Caver Twin adventures. I hope we don't lose one. :slow, deep gasp: ....a timeline where Annie never returned? Lost and presumed dead to her forlorn friends and family? ....Coyote is, indeed, dead? (technically dead? with perhaps trails that allow him to be brought back...?) Fear of the unknown isn't the only fear out there. Horror does sometimes does come with clarity. Very off topic. IMO, that's the biggest difference between Poe and Lovecraft's type of horror(besides racist/sexist xenophobia). If a character has their hand on the doorknob about to open a door, Poe will make you "feel" there's something on the other side, while Lovecraft will make you "know with certainty" there is. Feelings are powerful, but finicky and mercurial. They change. But once you "know" something that scares you, how do you ever stop knowing... |

argh, timey-wimey stuff makes my head tumble like an unbalanced washing machine. Here I was thinking Annie was just a copy/paste, but now there are alternate timelines to think about? now I have to totally shift my thinking. OK my guess is a time-shifted person, when removed from their timeline, doesn't just not come back, they completely fade away as though they never existed. So in that alternate timeline, Surma might still be alive. |
