Personally, I'm highly supportive of this skywatchers are tictocs idea. It's been awhile since they've appeared in the comic. But anybody else think this chapter might involve Brinnie? It's a long shot but Valkyries could be interpreted as angels... -ish. If not then I'm going with the new robot body idea.

Award for most enigmatic title page goes to...
It's 'Sky Watcher' singular, so unless it's about one particular TicToc I doubt it's referencing them. Sky Watcher can either mean 1) someone who watches the sky, or 2) someone watching -from- the sky.
1) The first name that comes to mind is obviously Kat but I have a feeling it won't be her. We don't know enough about the other characters to rule any of them out as budding astronomers, and it could even be an entirely new character. The same goes for Angel, although Angel does hint strongly at Robot.
2) People we know who watch from the sky - the Great Spirit, Coyote, birds (including Tictocs), Orjaks, people riding Orjaks; or a previously unintroduced character.

Yeah, as soon as I read "Angel" I thought of Robot's original body. And with the pliers that implies that we're building something this chapter. But let us not forget that Kat said she was interested in building an Android! Lets she is she pulls it off As for sky watcher... Kat does have access to that observatory, but I LOVE the idea of "Sky Watcher" being Shadow2's real name.

Ninja'd. XD I'll throw in my metaphorical hat in with the folks that think that this chapter is going to be Kat-, Robot-, and/or Shadow2-centric, probably involving Kat building a new body for Robot. I don't think that it's going to be a New Hope-based chapter, though, because pliers don't seem like the kind of tool Annie would have used there. If it was a set of lockpicks rather than pliers, I'd say that it was definitely a New Hope thing. Alternately, it could be about Anja and Donald, in the old days, but I kinda doubt that one.

Perhaps Diego is Sky Watcher and Angel is Jeanne? Except the pliers look modern...

Sky Watcher doesn't have a the before it, so it seems to be a proper name or title. This title of this chapter is unusually... flowey? I dunno. Sort of sounds like a fantasy novel rather than a Gunnerkrigg chapter. This makes me think that once again the plot of the chapter is going to be very far removed from the expected. It's similar to the first chapter title though, and that typical chapter.

I remember hearing that that girl Brinnie was a Valkyrie and she reported to Odin, so maybe the Sky Watcher is Odin and the Angel is Brinnie.
But you know, I could be wrong.

I don't think that it's going to be a New Hope-based chapter, though, because pliers don't seem like the kind of tool Annie would have used there. I don't think that pliers have anything to do with Annie either, but I was speculating that the Sky Watcher and Angel of the title might be people whom one of the Guides had told Annie about at Good Hope, and she's passing the story on to Kat (and that the pliers have something to do with the setting of that tale - maybe some lonely observatory far away). Though since then, Tom stated on his Twitter space that the pliers don't have a role in the story, so I might be wrong.

I'll guess on an unexpected boxbot/Brinnie/Diego team-up to fill in a blank spot on the dartboard.

Hey guys I just remembered that the first time Robot sees Kat he calls her an angel. Can't find the page but thought I'd just put that out there so all the speculators could go crazy over it! Oh, right. I forgot about this one. But it points to both S13 and Kat once more. Also, there's a "Watcher In The Sky" somewhere out in space... As for sky watcher... Kat does have access to that observatory, but I LOVE the idea of "Sky Watcher" being Shadow2's real name. Would be a good little twist. Speaking of some things to watch [out for] in the sky... Which returns us to "will Kat make S13 flying?". By the way, one look at the side of that... contraption made me wonder whether Kat likes " Painkiller". What with winged androids and stuff... Perhaps Diego is Sky Watcher and Angel is Jeanne? Except the pliers look modern... But then, those robots don't look infra-steampunk either... I remember hearing that that girl Brinnie was a Valkyrie and she reported to Odin, so maybe the Sky Watcher is Odin and the Angel is Brinnie. ...and plyers are there because we're going to discover how Donald & Co made a chainsword self-sharpening gyro-stabilized vibrolance drakkar-style jet bike with bladed wheels for her birthday? Just because no one expects this, y'know. P.S.: After this cover there must be a power metal song with the line "Raise you pliers to the sky!". ;D

It's similar to the first chapter title though That's an interesting observation... "The Shadow and The Robot", "Sky Watcher and the Angel".... there could be something to that. Since I speculated (wildly) that Sky Watcher referred to Shadow2. ...boy, can we over-discuss stuff, or what! (That's a rhetorical question.)

This one time I wanted to make panpipes with drinking straws, but I couldn't find any scissors so I used pliers to cut them instead. And so I became THE PLIED PIPER.

I'm afraid I'll have to join the masses who's first thought was 'Archenpliers!'
I'm excited for this chapter. No real idea what it's going to be about. I await with great anticipation =]
...
OKAY OKAY I'll give a prediction. I've got a gut feeling that we're going to have a run-in with Jack and Robot.

What are these Archenpliers that people keep referencing?

A mystical artifact of the Titans of Ark, from the webcomic Erfworldpx=%2F022.jpg I definitely did NOT get the references to Archenpliers. Apparently I don't read enough webcomics.

This is probably Wild Spec material;
Sky Watcher >> Skywalker >> Star Wars >> Space Story >> Dr. Disaster

And we don't even know if Sky Watcher and the Angel have any connection with Shadow2 and Robot; that's just a hypothesis. For all that we know, they could be entirely different characters, even new ones. ("[Character 1] and [Character 2]" is a common story title.)
