Okay admission time - I read panel 5 too fast and thought it was Bob saying "Yes I am" and was like "What a twist!". Then I read the next panel and realised "Oh okay, I guess it actually would make no sense for Bob to be a dryad." I am silly and should learn to read slower! In other news, Marcia as the dryad in the penultimate panel is so cool guys. So. Cool. This chapter is so full of badass, it is fast becoming my favourite (catching up with Coyote stories) I second both of these! (although I didn't have to get to panel 6 before realizing silliness ;-)) I wouldn't say that's completely your fault. I'm not a huge fan of the speech bubble placement there. But I guess there isn't a better place to put them. Maayyybe putting "yes I am" over Marcia on the left side or something.

I can't help but hear Annie's speech on this page in the lilt of Velma Dinkley.

Unless Tom's got a big surprise revelation planned for *why* Marcia abducted the children in the next few pages.... "Well, the cat's out of the bag now... I eat children!"

As for what I enjoy most about this page, its a tie between Dryad-Marcia and Bob's face when Annie asked Marcia if she was a Dryad. He's freaking out just a little bit. He's just too accustomed to hear all the incredibly lame puns you could see in comments. ;D To offset this... ( with Coyote's voice): Oh, no! Bob loooves trees! I think that Tom sometimes just leaves the make-up out when it wouldn't show up properly in the picture (Annie being too far away from the reader, or something like that). I doubt that this is anything deeper than the tendency to draw characters faceless or with minimal-type faces when they're in the distance. Yeah, here were Level-of-Detail things, lots of them, but they don't bother me. The problem is that sometimes LoD entangles with general twistiness and present/missing clues. And maybe he'll correct the mistake with Kat's hairband color when this chapter is converted into book-form. But she really could change it. Or drop it into the grass and put a bag on it...

Hehe, yeah, I totally laughed at Tom's comment for this comic.

So does this mean that if Bob and Marcia have kids, they'll be able to turn into sawdust?

That's probably why they don't have any.
And if they did, it'd probably why they don't have any, anymore.

I can't help but hear Annie's speech on this page in the lilt of Velma Dinkley. Panel 6 is actually spoken by Bob, not Annie, as indicated by the background color. Compare with panel 7. Tom should seriously consider using stronger tones.

I didn't because there is no carrot(is the a better term?) pointing at her from the speech bubble in that panel. Still, you guys may be right.

I read it initially as Marcia speaking but then realized there was no tail, and figured it was Bob. Which in no way relates to the fact that I can't help but hear Annie in the lilt of Velma Dinkley on this page.

I saw it that it was Marcia speaking, but there's no tail because the actual scene you're seeing isn't her transforming for Annie's benefit, but actually a "flashback" or off-screen view, much like the last panel of this page.

What are you guys talking about? There's a tail on the speech bubble plain as day! It's not very big, but it's definitely there.

It was only Hamadryads that were each tied to one specific tree. I think that dryads were connected to the trees of a region in general. From what I've read, tree nymphs had different designations depending on which tree they belonged to. A dryad is specifically an oak nymph, while a caryatid is a walnut nymph and so on. (In the real wurlde, of course, not the GCverse.)

As she began to fall in love, Martha would secretly inhabit the trees to which Bob was attending, just to be close to him... ... and then there would be a terrible misunderstanding about the pruning shears...
