the Surma-Anthony-Eggers triangle. Dude, get it right. It's the Surma-Anthony-Eggers-Reynardine-Coyote pentagon. Eh. Reynard doesn't count and Coyote isn't serious. Actually, we readers are lucky that Tom's version of Coyote isn't as bad as some of the Coyote myths. He's pretended to be human for longish periods of time, married people and had kids with them (sometimes as the wife) and then gotten bored and split when he felt like it. I don't think the forum is ready for that.

No need, dawngazer. What you posted was awesome enough. You do my ego wonders, good Rex. That said- ...I'd tap that. Hell yes I'm up for it. *Annie's Srz face*

Yeah, but he has eyebrows only for George... I mean, Parley.
That is, if he can ever break down the wall between them.

I don't think the forum is ready for that. Good god, people would explode. This is the forum where existing in the same universe as someone is proof of undying love. Anyone doing anything that overtly suggests sexual activity would cause heart attacks or epileptic fits.

AnnieXBoxbot I would seriously support that if the alternatives were AnniexKat and AnniexJack.

I don't think it'll be bad if Annie got together with a guy. It weirds me out whenever people think Annie having a love interest will mean that she 'needs a guy to be complete'! Comments of people who insist that she has to be with someone because she's the main protagonist irritate me too,to be frank. As long as it all plays out in a realistic,believable way and is well written,I don't mind if she does or doesn't end up together with anyone How bout' Annie x Robox for a crackship? XD XD

The next strip is back at the court; Jones is seen eating a comically large stack of hamburgers. Fixed

AnniexKat would annoy the hell out of me because it's such a male fantasy cliche and I think Tom's better than that. And frankly, I would rather see Annie with literally any other being in the world than with Jack Hyland.

I wouldn't expect him to have any spring in his step when he hasn't slept for a while. You could say he was positively hopping for a while, and that he's lost his jump on life and that he needs to spring back up- I'm sorry I can't do another Spring Heeled Jack pun. So what you're saying is, Nooooooooo springs my friend, no springs! <whistle>

I don't get the purpose of that semi-colon. Can any grammar nazis fill me in on it? It makes a stonger pause than the comma, but shorter than the dot; it will often be used when you make a series of sentence that are not grammatically linked, but are strongly connected thematically, like an enumeration or a list. If you're hesitating between a dot and a comma, a semi-colon is probably what you want.

And frankly, I would rather see Annie with literally any other being in the world than with Jack Hyland. That's a dangerous line of reasoning. Pick any character from this list from the GC wiki; at least half of them would be crack pairings, if not physically impossible without the invention of time travel. dear merciful god, I think I just uncovered a possible story arc. ;D

BTW, I'm starting to think "Don't understand it myself" applies more to the forum than to the comic it's referencing. ;D

Post by Mishmash on Jul 1, 2010 22:50:42 GMT
One of my favourite things about these last two chapters has been the constant parody (subversion? twisting?) of common high school romance cliches.
Passing notes in the hallway, meeting after dark, the moonlight boat ride, "I'll carry you!" and now another girl saying Jack is Annie's boyfriend and her sternly denying it. It is so cleverly done!
And no I don't think it is supposed to be some hint at a future relationship between Annie and Jack, nor a mockery of people who want that to happen. I think it is just a funny and realistic portrayal of something that happens in high schools all the time, to contrast with all the weird stuff that has been happening.

Don't forget, after Annie denying that Jack is her boyfriend, Zimmy and Gamma's "Yeah, right"-type-smiles - guaranteed to further build on the subversion that Mishmash mentioned.

Besides, you gonna waste good, imaginary bullets on something you're not gonna pretend to eat? That's just plain wasteful.
