Tom has once mentioned that Coyote just got her name wrong. It becomes clearer when you listen to the sound of antimony and abalone. Really? I'd just assumed he was using it as an endearment, or pet name. Especially given that an Abalone is a kind of small sea snail, and Antimony has very much got a hard shell to her.

Yes, Tom made a note of that in the shoutbox below the "abalone" comic. I copied it to the forum here before it was lost to the ether.

I think Annie is in no real danger from Coyote- she IS supposed to be a mediator between the Court and the Forest, and it's not in the Forest's best interest to kill her dead. I'd say if they have to resort to questionable tactics they can't afford to take on the Court openly at the moment.

I'd say if they have to resort to questionable tactics they can't afford to take on the Court openly at the moment. Besides, violent assassination isn't tricksters' style. I think that Coyote would be far more likely to engage in more subtle means, such as telling the truth, but in a slanted way that could do more damage than can lies. And I think that people are possibly taking things like "abalone" or "having to wear trousers" too seriously - Tom seems to have meant them as side-jokes and nothing more.

Taking things far too seriously and obsessing over minute detail are becoming the norm around here, I feel.

Where should people be taking things far too seriously and obsessing over minute details about a webcomic if not on its dedicated forum?

I don't think coyote wants anyone dead. He doesn't strike me as the type.

I like Rey's "Why are you dressed formally Exclamation Point Question Mark," heh.

Hum... Rey's reaction makes me think that he'll probably began to talk. If Coyote's mentions something about him of course. Apart of that, nice page; and Annie looks good in uniform. Where should people be taking things far too seriously and obsessing over minute details about a webcomic if not on its dedicated forum? /co/? TV Tropes forums? Other webcomics forums?

Taking things far too seriously and obsessing over minute detail are becoming the norm around here, I feel. But of course! I think it is unwise of Antimony to enter the Forest without Reynardine.

Coyote said no harm would come to her, and we know from Jones that he is no liar. However, therin lies the problem.

Lockpics cannot be stainless steel: it's not springy enough. They need to be tempered steel, better if with some cobalt. So, it's better if Rey gives them back before washing, else he will get all brownish-red and ferric-oxidish. Poor Rey. Rey can live with a few stains, as he has already demonstrated. But lockpicks are thin enough to be utterly ruined by corrosion and yeah, stainless is not nearly tough enough; you have to go with heat-treated spring or alloy steel, and just keep them lightly oiled. But a tumble in hot detergent bath will cut right through the oil--it's meant to do just that. OTOH, drying an oiling the picks right after the wash ought to be sufficient--most of the actual corrosion happens as the moisture slowly dries while exposed to air. For those unfamiliar with lockpicks, think about how a wok behaves in washing and drying; woks are non-stainless, too.
