Coyote is actually really sweet. In his own, eldritch, god-like, and utterly terrifying way.

Not "I could eat you up"? At least Tony now knows Annie cares about him.

Have you ever been so unpopular that the neighborhood dogs could smell it?

So you eat one of her closest friend's memories for the lulz? Yeah, some great friend you are Coyote.
When Annie finds out what Coyote did to Ysengrin, that blowup is gonna be epic.

LordCoyote, you are a true friend to our Fire-Headed Girl! *sniffs* Makes me so proud to know you bask in your kind-hearted glory. How silly you mortals are! Thinking I have to be one or the other...If I must have a personality, I'd prefer it to be multiple-choice! But I just want My Fire-Head Girl to smile again! (And maybe find me some more of those delicious wisps!)Because then we can be happy again! We can frolic in the woods again, careless! And things can go back to how they used to be! The way they should be! Both of us smiling and laughing, with her flaming hair dancing in the breeze, untamable as she! Before that Broken Man showed up, and derailed the comic's intended focus on me and Fire-Head Girl! Oh, what did they do to you, Antimony, My dear Fire-Head Girl? Why did they take you away from Me? Did they want to hurt Me so much? So much that they used you as their tool? I weep for your sake, caught between forces your mortal mind can barely fathom. ...How dare those bastards hurt MY FRIEND?!?!

"I could eat you up and nobody would be sad for it" On the contrary. There would be much rejoicing on the forum.

His smelling of tony here reminds me of his meeting with Parley and Smitty at their initiation as medium and guard. There he did it to tease them, but did he smell "all of them" too? What did he learn then.
I like the image of Coyote literally adressing Tony as "Broken Man" in front of the Court. Which he likely did.
What would happen if he smelled Kat? *sniff* [Angel - the Machine Goddess, Demiurge of Robotkind, Divinity of Metal, Herald of Greater Realms. thx Daedalus' signature] "dafuq" Or Zimmy? *sni-* KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!11!
On another note; my copy of Volume 5 arrived yesterday. yay. Showed it to one of my colleagues. His reaction: "Hey I know this! It was on 4chan. The discussion ended with a masturbation joke." - yep, thank you internet... Do we still auomatically translate 4-chan to "butt zone" or was that a different board?

This chapter, more than any others, shows how well you actually do grasp Coyote as a character, CoyoteReborn. Good jobber on that.

Are there any discussions of 4chan that do not end with a masturbation joke?
Anyway. It seems Coyote is starting to understand a lot about what's going on, I will be very interested to see what he intends to do next.

Well, Donny would be sad I guess. I would have agreed with that until today's comic. Now I wonder.

Double post for bonus points! Do we still auomatically translate 4-chan to "butt zone" or was that a different board? It's a specific board on 4chan - co. I don't visit the Butt Zone very often but they used to be aware we had a special nickname for them but I am not sure if they know who created it or why.

Tony is looking a bit like a digestive biscuit today. I'm not sure he'd taste very good. Go with mercy oh mighty Coyote. It is the hallmark of divinity and you'll save yourself from heartburn. Also as you have already divined it will score points Fire Head Girl.
This chapter just gets better and better.

This made me go 'aww' even though I should know better. It's Coyote! Still, to know he considers her a real friend! And that now Anthony knows how Annie cares about him! Awww!

Well, Donny would be sad I guess. I would have agreed with that until today's comic. Now I wonder. Coyote is no liar ... except by omission, and exaggeration, and misdirection. With all the omitted parentheticals included: " Broken Man. I could eat you up, and no one (living (who matters (to me))) (that I'm aware of) would be sad for it (right now). Nobody but my (repeatedly threatened) (periodically abused) friend (for the moment) Fire Head Girl. And I care for her happiness (sometimes) because she makes ME happy (for now) (and I'll drop her like a mic the very nanosecond she stops doing so)." Notice that Coyote has, in fact, completely ignored the entirely reasonable question posed to him about "how can Antimony ever be safe around you?". Instead, Coyote has immediately resorted to a mix of crude intimidation ("I could murder you at will, you know") and false implications of omniscience ("Absolutely no one else anywhere anywhen would ever mourn you, if I murdered you now") and creepy amoral self-absorption ("I won't murder you (now) because that would make her sad, and I care (for now) about her not being sad, because she can (for now) make me happy."). Like, literally the only motive he offers for not randomly murdering someone standing in his way of getting what he wants in his toddler tantrum is that if he did so it would obviously backfire on him. Not exactly a persuasive response to the question that Coyote was posed. Rather the polar opposite of a persuasive response, in fact.

I both agree and disagree. Yes, it's very easy to forget that Coyote, as a powerful etheric being, doesn't "play fair." While he always tells the truth, those who aren't already privy to the truth might find themselves misled. But that doesn't mean that Coyote is willfully deceptive.
I'd say that the purpose to Jones' warning is, "If you don't know the truth, be careful about trusting Coyote's account." I'm having a hard time coming up with examples to illustrate the difference between "intentionally obscuring the truth" and "speaking the truth in a way that seems to imply something that is false."
I guess it's sort of like the Oracle at Delphi. "There will be a great victory." Sounds pretty cool, huh? Better do that. I hear there's a great victory to be had...and then you're routed, it's a total stomp, and you realize that you never considered that it's not your victory. But it's not that the Oracle was trying to lie. The Oracle was simply speaking the truth. Instead, it's kind of your fault, for blindly trusting in your first interpretation of the words that she said. Many people would say that she lied, or omitted the truth, but I disagree. Why would she? The Oracle was not invested in the outcome of the battle. Instead, the blame lies with the general. A little bit of caution and a lot more critical thought could have illuminated the REAL reason the Oracle stated things the way she did: the battle was momentous, and it was important not to charge in expecting victory but instead to ensure that the whole thing went in his favor.
