Annie's "fire crown" symbol appears in the flash between her and the wisp. Which also, now that I have seen it, convinces me Annie created that flash to defend herself (reading for the first time I thought it was Coyote's doing). Maybe by using the same technique as when escaping Ysengrin a few chapters earlier.

Not so much "never noticed" as "never realized" but: Former forest citizens becoming students all end up in house Foley. Foley is the reproduction of everyday sound effects that are added to film, video, and other media in post-production to enhance audio quality. So it is taking something that is there in reality and enhancing it by adding extra fluff. Sounds like the Foley students in the ether.

My mind would go to how the Court takes the animals and fairies and "improves" the mby turning the minto humans.

Though now that I think about it, it seems the hollow fairies were forced to undergo the process. Either way, that's not really relevant to the topic.

When entering the ruins in the forest (a.k.a. Fun City), Ysengrin claims that " People of the forest do not come here". Which implies that the monsters living there are not considered "people of the forest". It might also imply that the ruins are not considered part of the forest, depending on which words you emphasize.

The wording made it feel more to me like saying "our more upstanding citizens dont come to the shitty slums". That said, given some humans stayed in the forest, maybe those that did so involuntarily ended up here tho and became those monsters. That might explain why they refuse to answer to Ysengrin and Coyote

The two bottom panels on those pages are not identical, even though they show the same things. Look at Annie's hairline or Muut's eyebrows, for example. Hard to say whether they were completely redrawn or just reworked a bit.
Good catch!

That’s true, there are some subtle differences!

The Moddey Dhoo mentions contracts of location and ownership; foreshadowing of what was revealed in New Contract? www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=341

Two things about Mort that I did not so much "notice" but just now realized. But since there is no "cool things I just realized dozens of chapters later" thread, I will allow myself to put them here.
1. Why is Mort surprised by Annie knowing that Paz (and everyone else) does not like clowns? Because he hails from a time when horror films and comics and especially Stephen King's "It" had not yet begun establishing the evil clown as a typical horror story character.
2. Why does Mort not look different to Kat than to the others, while Kat sees all Etheric smoke and mirrors as props? Because a boy wearing a bedsheet is what Kat would see in any case - even if Mort had refined his costume to make it look as amazing to other people as the rest of the RotD, Kat would still see a costumed boy. But Mort dresses up like he hinks ghosts are supposed to look and leaves the really scary costumes for "adult ghosts".

I have to add one more thing to those two:
3. Why can Mort be outside of the comic and write twitter messages and advertise the new book? Because ghosts can go through walls without breaking them. Mort just went through the fourth wall.

Mort just went through the fourth wall. Or, our world is the Gunnerverse' ether. The characters who die in the Gunnerverse (and other stories?) then go on to become the inspiration for the stories to go on. This probably means that Coyote is in our world now.

That actually makes a lot of sense. I just want to add that our world is not the ether per se or else Annie and any other etheric being would be able to peer through and see us. Our world is what lies beyond the veil to which the psychopomps take their departed souls. They return to the source and allow their world to keep going, and the source lies in our universe, specifically in Tom's mind. PS: plus Coyote, being a god and all, can navigate through the source universe and visit other media. I can't find it right now but I remember him in one of Sandra and Woo's pages attending a godly movie watch party (or it wasn't in that comic but included their raccoon goddess as well, maybe that's why I can't find it)

Well I can't remember where but Coyote did lean quite heavily on the fourth wall didn't he? Narrating for the benefit of the reader. It's also stated that while he roams freely in the Ether, others basically just peak through it in comparison. So maybe Annie is just staying on the surface. Literally if you consider the fact that panel borders become irrelevant when she goes through the Ether (and this cover), which might be because she goes from being in the comic to being on the comic('s surface). Also the Gunnerverse is basically 2D, but our world is 3D, that would explain why Annie has a hard time seeing Coyote and Ysengrin whole... ... Or Kat

Not exactly a realization, but a curious thing: here there were 2 Annies first,, and it'd seems that they are looking at each other while riding Coyote

The ' vocalisation' that Reynardine performs on this page isn't any old fox call - they have different ones depending on context; where they are, how they are interacting and who their audience is. This one appears to mirror the ' vixen's scream' - essentially, the fox equivalent of a Booty Call. This fact is a little terrifying, no? Thanks for reading my 1000th post on the forum. May it be scrubbed from your mind soon.

In a flashback scene at the end of S1, Surma and Anja are walking home from the lab. 1. Surma refers to her friend as 'Any' 2. Anja is wearing a hair clip similar to the one Annie lost and found in the Annan Waters.

I never noticed before that Kat says
two times in this chapter, first about Parley and Andrew, and later about Diego.
