Dang, Reyo, you beat me to it.
How super awesome is it for Zimmy to be in City Face! Maybe it will turn out to be Tom's version of 'Where's My Cow?' - City Face flies around Gunnerkrigg Court, asking all the main characters for help in wooing his lady pidgeon, but none of them can. The twist is that only Polo can help him, and she's already been introduced, but he won't meet her until Wednesday or something.

This is not my dance, it is a salsa in poor light with a hatstand behind it.

Gamma needs to get Zimmy on a better diet if all she has been eating are pigeons and spiders. She kind of reminds me of a friend that way.

Strictly speaking, the pigeons that inhabit cities were originally domesticated animals which were kept for food (and probably racing and breeding). So they've already been bred to be good eatin'. Probably not raw, but...

One word...
ZIMMYYYYY!!!
Some of you guys were hoping that the mini-serial was about Zimmy, well, now it's got Zimmy in it! Rejoice!
P.S. For what it's worth, I'm with those people who have said that they very much hope Tom will try to do something with the Alphabet Soup universe once GC is done. Z and G are both very intriguing characters.

The comments today kind of show what it's like in Zimmy's head. Or so it seems to me.

Maybe this is all a hallucination of Zimmy's. I'm not seeing Gamma anywhere...or Beta for that matter...
And whatever happened to Alpha?

And whatever happened to Alpha? He came back in the season finale and cut up Victor and revealed the doctor as being the former Whiskey, but he got away and... oh wait, wrong fictional universe.

Huh. I guess that makes two Zimmy stalkers total. Wait, aren't the money spiders Tom's? He should keep a better leash on those guys.

I've never met a pigeon that trusting. All the ones I know are cynical and manipulative, faking being injured so youll come close and they'll steal your pasty. Still I'd rather feed a pigeon than a seagull.

The problem with pigeons is that there is hardly any meat on them at all. Plus you have to clean them, skin them, cut 'em up, put the good meat into whatever you are cooking them with and then wait till the meat is cooked, serve it, and even then after all that hard work it still tastes like leather and hobo foot. In my experience, mixing the meat with onions, cinnamon, and a pinch of soya sauce makes them edible.
Spiders are just fine raw, and have a nice chewy texture. It's sort of like eating an Eat More, only sour and hairy. They can be boiled, and are simply delightful with a breaded coating. Be sure to cut off the head before consuming though, as the brain of the spider will give you kuru disease.
As for rats, well, who would eat a rat?

Just realised that nobody mentioned that fact that Mustard Seed asked Polo where she would be back rather than when, and Polo's farewell was "See you in an inch!". Are fairies not creatures of time? Does it not matter when Polo returns, or is she expecting Mustard Seed to wait there until she comes back? Many questions...

I am highly unnerved by MoneySpider.
And Bill, let's hold a tea party in the basement. There are plenty of spiders and the cobwebs really add something to the watercress sandwiches.

Or at least, before she came to Gunnerkrigg. She's wearing that turquoise shirt rather that the GC uniform, and looks slightly younger than regular Zimmy.
