Coyote is incidentally teaching Annie how she can have a child yet survive. Not really. In their case it's the other way around - everything does remain in the system, right until the mother is an empty husk. Though some control over process could slow down the transfer, of course. Possibly to the point where they could regenerate loss and make this survivable even if it doesn't truly end until there's nothing to pour anymore. Or even have multiple children, Notice that Annie's hand is (subconsciously?) mimicking Coyote's hand..... Edit: Not that it's probably significant at all, but I found it interesting that that both Coyote and Annie are using their left hands in this gesture. It's probably just for posing and framing purposes, but I still found it curious. It's easier to imitate motion if you use the same hand, isn't it? |

In the etheric, Coyote has drawn Jack's soul out into a totem. When did that happen? Coyote and Jack have never even met on-stage. |

Tom is having too much fun drawing this. In the etheric, Coyote has drawn Jack's soul out into a totem. When did that happen? Coyote and Jack have never even met on-stage. Jack in this case refers to the rabbit. (Forest creatures aren't allowed to get names yet, guys. Careful where you say things.) |

Or even have multiple children, Hmmmm....except that (thinking of Miracle Max, only badly) she's only partly fire, but largely - it seems - human. The fire transfers, yes, but the human doesn't. If everything transferred into the child, Annie wouldn't have had to take her mother into the aether because there wouldn't have been anything/anyone to take. Perhaps this has been worked over before (?) but she/he wouldn't be named Jack, because she wasn't a jackalope; no jackrabbits in Europe - or pronghorn 'antelopes' for that matter. Looks to me like a European rabbit with Saiga antelope horns! Saiga is a nice name, come to think on it.  |

I must ask: How did the name Cynthia came to be? Thought processes, please~

The thing about hearing death (or whatever Coyote's talking about) in "the grinding spin of the planet" kind of reminds me of the thing from page 356 about how the dead family will ensure "the world continues to spin".

Yep. Abe + Cynthia = Green Fairy. OK, these sort of word games are fun, but silly. I've spent a lot of time and effort analysing and commenting a webcomic about robots, mythological creatures and talking animals. I don't mind silly. |

The thing that interests me about this page is that it lays the foundation for the plausibility of immortality in the GKCverse - when you get old, make a new body and transfer your soul into it.
I wonder who can perform the soul transplant. Anyone with the knowledge?
I wonder if it would work on Jones?

I find it interesting that in the Ether, the rabbit looks so active and colorful. And then when Coyote takes the spirit from the rabbit, notice how the body starts turning grey. It reminds me of how Renard's body looks to Annie when Coyote has her look at it in Ethervision. It is becoming just a lifeless thing. And what will the process of creating a new body look like? Something grey and lifeless, suddenly bursting with color as the Jackalope's spirit fills it? The next couple pages should be interesting! |

I wonder who can perform the soul transplant. Anyone with the knowledge? I wonder if it would work on Jones? Also, are souls in GKC immortal? What if they're something like perennials? (Specifically herbaceous perennials, of which sayth Wikipedia: plants that grow and bloom over the spring and summer, die back every autumn and winter, and then return in the spring from their root-stock) Root-stock being the ether; blooms, souls. I know it's bad form to say I called something only two days in advance, but I am happy that I anticipated the GKC interpretation of a soul. Just sayin'. Well, considering that the boys remember being animals, I thought it was obvious their entire self transferred over. A bit like getting a new case for a desktop computer! |

Guess: Green Fairy = Absinthe > Cynthia Yep. Abe + Cynthia = Green Fairy. OK, these sort of word games are fun, but silly. Ah, but word games are just among a few things I draw enjoyment from! And I definitely don't mind silly. Edit: And Cynthia is a lovely name. And, if Jack/Abe actually named her that by logic of this word game, then by golly gosh, she is smart! |

Could this be why Renard's body-snatching is fatal? He can't catch the life when he leaves or something? Pardon the mild necro on this thread. Sometimes I am really slow, and I have no idea why I suddenly remember some things. I think feraldog was/is right and I think Coyote could have pulled Reynard from Sivo without killing Sivo (assuming Sivo's "soul" was still in his body). But no one in the Court could do it, and they wouldn't/couldn't ask Coyote for help. |
