Are you sure about that? Then immediately after damaging the hive a big distracting rumbling thing is happening. |

Seems this strip will aim to reconcile Annie and James. But poor Courtney will probably be again the unintentional witch to head there. Fanny might get some development with cvet but I doubt it.
I'm glad eglamore is being used more, since he had fell on the wayside for a while.

Her reaction in panel 5 is interesting. At first glance it looks like she's upset about her outdoorswomanship being disparaged, if a bit too strongly? But he's carried her before, with somewhat less choice in the matter and her reaction there was interesting as well, especially given she was facing certain death otherwise. Perhaps those who predicted Eggs would be her crush have cookies in their future? |

The hives are empty.
That is very reassuring and definitely not ominous at all.

Annie doesn't like being treated like a child... except when she has to.

Seems this strip will aim to reconcile Annie and James. But poor Courtney will probably be again the unintentional witch to head there. Fanny might get some development with cvet but I doubt it. I'm glad eglamore is being used more, since he had fell on the wayside for a while. Might be a very interesting new balance. While Frannie has come to better terms with one guy who cannot get over Surma (namely Tony), Courtney might now come to better terms with another guy who cannot get over Surma (namely James). But will James then automatically transfer any reconcilement with Courtney to Frannie? Will the antagonism between James and Tony play a role, each one having one Annie as an ally? Find out next episode on Relationship Court! Oh, who am I kidding? Personal relationships are good and all, but right now I am much more interested in the incoming giant wasp air strike. |

I'm glad eglamore is being used more, since he had fell on the wayside for a while. I really hope so, I agree that Eggers is due some time on stage. I get Annie's point, not wanting to be carried by him but it was ok to be carried by Ysengrin (besides the obvious she like Ysengrin more). Ysengrin saw her as someone he needed to protect per coyote's orders, but he also saw her as a peer. Someone who who could hold her own. James sees her as a reckless kid that needs protection and maybe even some positive paternal influence. He's not entirely wrong, especially given his position, but Annie was on her own for so long i can see how she wouldn't appreciate being forced into that role. |

incoming giant wasp air strike. I say that'd be a speed metal band name, or obscure boy band |

incoming giant wasp air strike. I say that'd be a speed metal band name, or obscure boy band I imagine they are the supporting act of Robot Souls and the Supernatural Realm at the moment. When becoming better known they might drop the "incoming" from their name to make it easier for casual fans to remember, and to cover up less of the artwork on their album covers. |

On the other hand, "Igwas" is easier to pronounce than "Gwas". |

One time when I was a kid, I was shooting baskets in my driveway. Unbeknownst to me, some wasps had built a nest behind the backboard of the basketball goal. They didn't take kindly to their home being disturbed. I only got stung once, in the neck, but it's still one of the most painful things I've experienced.
All that to say, wasps scare me, and panel 1 is giving me a strong case of "AHHH NO DON'T DO IT--"

I see Pft!Annie has returned, minus her signature speech bubble. I propose renaming her to Horrible!Annie because that's pretty much all we've seen from her save for one or two panels. |

What's so horrible about not wanting to be carried by a guy who was your mother's boyfriend and occasionally seems to mistake you for her, does not like your father and treats you like a helpless child most of the time (when he does not think you are your mother); and whom you generally do not like?
I mean, of course she could have just said "No.", but I understand her reaction.

Yeah she is not being horrible, but even so, I hope they both can reconcile. I mean, Annie deals with several people still infatuated with her mother (Renar perhaps a bit less but was for a long while) that keep trying to be fatherly figures (Renard perhaps a bit more) and still seems toonly keep a fit with Eggers. Thats not to say he shouldnt get to work on that (and stop trying to emulate his heroes), but he is not as unreasonable as some people say he is. |

Speaking of his hair, on the fifth panel of this page it looks as if he has a tonsure. |

I am thinking more broadly, such as all of Chapter 69, most of Chapter 70, and her attitude in general, including page 3 of this chapter. I mean, it's pretty clear to me that these two Annies have very different personalities. And given that we learned last chapter that neither one belongs in this timeline, that suggests that Horrible!Annie comes from a timeline where she is generally insufferable 24x7, unlike Forest!Annie who (though she has her issues) is at least likable. |

If "Star Trek" and comic books have taught us anything, it's that mirror universes are generally evil. Maybe this Annie comes from the Jerkiverse, where Eggy is a creeper. (Or maybe the other Annie would react the same way. But given Horrible Annie's general attitude, it does seem like there's something going on beyond that.) * Note: "Horrible Annie" is really hard to shorten. I came up with HorrAnnie ("whore Annie") and Horrnie ("horny"), neither of which would be appropriate. |

So maybe he expected just a few adults, or none at all - just larvae or eggs. It looks like there are little "larval houses" inside the hive, but as Eggs says. they're all empty... not even any baby wisps. (Of course this assumes wisps go thru life stages like wasps!) |

To me she seemed just as likeable as the other Annie in chapter 71. More like Eglamore brings her jerky side to the surface. That has happened before as well, when there was only one Annie.

(Though, of note: the wisp in-comic does not seem to be buzzing.) |
