DAYUM, KAT! I mean..I don't..DAYUUUUUM! What even how does..KAT YOU ARE A SMALL GIRL YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS LOOKING LIKE...WHATEVER THAT IS! Applause for Tom for drawing this and bonus applause for not getting nightmares from drawing it. Because Zimmy is more than allowed to be terrified of etheric!kat.

So, is Kat like the Court's avatar or something? Symbolic of the technology, man reaching for godhood?
Somebody said earlier that Kat was like the Tic Tocks and cameras, so she has a similar effect on Zimmy. That seems to make sense, and what's more, the effect is more intense. This is like a bad acid trip...
One day Zimmy... what?

Well now, I expected a lot, but not quite that.
A robotic angel. Kinda makes sense. Also makes sense for Zimmy to be terrified.

I'm sure lots of schools want to achieve the status of giant, scary monster-movie thing. I mean, didn't your school do secret, etheric science to become worthy enough to digivolve into Yourworstnightmareforthenextweekmon? Because I know mine did.

Y'know, I like how pages of this comic can be satisfying even as they do nothing but raise hundreds of questions.

I think her conception alone is highly symbolic. You know, a mage and a technophile, magic x science/technology?
Also the art on this page is BRILLIANT. WE LOVE YOU TOM. AAAHHH

This page alone made me finally stop lurking and post on the boards. Damn that's an excellent image and would make an incredible print.

Well, I'm calling you out. You folks are LIARS.
Wednesdays just make things WORSE.

This is like a bad acid trip... One day Zimmy... what? ohkay that helps organize some of my bazillion questions now... I wonder if the effect has to do with Zimmy's relationship to the aether (ether?), how it is what soothes her and makes her feel better vs. the way she feels at the court/perhaps other urbanish worlds? What if Zimmy went to the forest. Also, although I totally in no way expected this I am kind of satisfied with the character development for Kat (tying into the whole 'angel' thing) and the possible foreshadowing of where the story may lead. Also ever more interested in Zimmy and her unique perspective...

You know i thought the same thing when i saw todays page (it helps that as a Diablo fan im use to my angels being faceless and decked out in metal). Wonder if this means anything or not, and if it does if its important.

Everyone keeps saying "wait till wednesday, wednesday everything will become clear." Well, I'm calling you out. You folks are LIARS. Wednesdays just make things WORSE. Aint that the truth. I think the phrase "next Wednesday" should henceforth mean "the time at which everything weird about GC will be explained". Example of usage: "I guess we'll find out next Wednesday." Example of usage on a Wednesday: "Huh. I can't wait until next Wednesday when this will all be explained."

Anyone else notice how her face is cracked on the left side? I noticed that too. I was searching for some symbolism or a callback or something involving Kat and Left but maybe I've been reading too much Homestuck.

My assumption is that Zimmy is seeing Ketrak from chapter sixteen. The insectile appearance of this creature, as well as Tom's comments for this and the last page, make it likely.

That is... impressive. It's not going to give me nightmares, but I can see how Zimmy would be terrified of something like that looming over her.
It does look a lot like the traditional description of angels. Made me think of a Seraphim. I wonder if that's what the robots see....

Also, I know those Homestuck feels, bro. I know them, dog.

My first thought was that Kat looks like one of the Psychopomps only for the Court. We know that it is regional, and she has already brought life and death to Diego's robots. So, "One day, Zimmy, she will come for you."
