I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away

Deleted my post, yours is better.

I knew I should put song lyrics there, I just didn't know a suitable song.

(psst delete your reply to my post to avoid confusion, the thread doesn't disappear unless all the replies to it are gone too)

"Damn Smitty, Parley's already hammered"

"Yeah, we've got to catch up- here, down the rest of this. I'm gonna go find more."

I apologise to any users of gunnerkrigg feeds or update notifiers that wanted 1st post rights (if those are things)

Looks like I woke up at the right time

Actually I did post a couple of seconds before you did, like I said your post is better.  I did win, just gave you the prize

Sorry for the gloat.

First post rights are totally a thing, but you got them anyway.
You're saying that you check GC the moment you wake up and still managed the making the thread? It seems people have grown complacent.

Sorry for the gloat.

considering the lag from my present location vs the server (or the fact it doesn't really matter who 'wins', heh), it's a moot point

hopefully nobody missed the 3rd panel annie creepyface

[fwip]

Her friends are watching in the 4th panel.

Also, even if these wings are only for show, they are very cool. Much flashy.

[Gotolei]

The lighting in this chapter continues to be brilliant.

SPOILER: Click to show

i regret nothing

It went something like this;

1. nap
2. wake up
3. drink water
4. wake up pc
5. oh cool, steam updated, I better check that
6. oh, people posted on the forum, neat
7. hang on, the main page just... oh hey, update without any thread

not sure how this would compare to Tom's ritual when summoning the comic

[sotha]

I like to think that she's doing a reverse downward corkscrew in the fifth panel.

[arf]

Those wings have seen better days.

Also look distinctly wispish. Will Annie be on alert? (George isn't)

[Rasselas]

This chapter has the prettiest art. Those wings are just beautiful, scuff marks and all.

[SilverbackRon]

Another beautiful page!  Little Green has the cute homemade wings, I like the little (what do you call it) tails on the lower ends?  Very cute design, and you can tell they have some wear and tear on them.

And nervously looking back to see if the Mediums are noticing her.

I love seeing Parley having fun and dancing with the Anwyn.  I am just surprised that she hasn't horse-collared Smitty and dragged him out for a dancing partner.

[Deleted]

Assuming that he's holding a bowl of achewater, Smitty's totally getting hammered on the job, no holds barred, no complaints filed. I can see why the man was picked.

The little banderole of dark green triangles on Annie's uniform looks like it might represent Coyote through his teeth, especially with the red linework.

I'd call them ribbons.

[Sky Schemer]

This page is just gorgeous.

[keef]

Last three chapters are so beautiful, not that there was anything wrong with the art before

That's what butterfly wings actually look like at the end of there life. This family probably, although there is no pink one in Britain afaik

Isnt her friend the one who wants to become human, not her?

I'm fairly certain that's just the hindwings.

I wonder if Smitface is capable of getting drunk? Or if/when he's hammered, he feels the effects but remains fully lucid?

Of course he wouldn't have to deal with hangovers.

I'm guessing he gets drunk like a normal person, but nothing bad ever comes of it.  Well, actually I suppose on whether the order comes from the subconscious or an external source.  If it's an external source then like I said, but if it's in his subconscious then that can be affected by alcohol, and we may be in for a rough time.  I wonder if order can be bent to chaotic whims, or if when Smit's mind loses order, his powers drain?

Anyway, I'm going to stick with my original interpretation in the absence of more info.  For now, goodnight!

[Lightice]

My first thought was that Green's had a bit too much to drink, gathering her courage.

[agentletrush]

I was already in love with this page, and then I noticed Canvey in panel 4. I may never stop smiling.

Canvey and her rabbit friend! It's adorable.

Love everything about this page.

[Per]

The colouring seems off on this page. Because there's so much warm light in the background, it feels like the characters should be correspondingly tinted, but they all have their "neutral" colouring.

Haha, I know, I'm impressed!

While this made me laugh, that seems more like something Parley would do to me. I'm imagining that someone handed the drink to Smitty, and, due either to his own discretion or a warning from Annie, he decided not to drink it, but instead stand around awkwardly holding it.

Was Tom's comment directed at Parley, or Annie and Andrew? I'm bad at jokes.

Maybe she can't speak human language?

[Covalent]

I didn't know fairies had butterfly wings. I imagined them to have somewhat more boring, dull wings..

- What a smell. Is this stuff flammable?
- Haha, let me check.
