I mean felinoid as in catlike, and no you don't sound like a prick about it.
I agree with you in that the 'cat-man' is actually a 'quoll-man', which makes much more sense in the context of Australia.

I think I am about to blow all of your minds... (Unless this has already been stated, in which case I am about to look like a prune)
Jones. Is. An. Alien.
Or an alien probe sent to earth before Coyote and chums got their start in the game, which is why even he doesn't know what she really is.

Personally, I don't think I'll speculate right now on anything other than her allegiances and why the Court tolerates her rather independent nature, even compared to other teachers. |

This dream I had of the comic now makes me think that maybe Anthony is searching for a way to bring back Surma.

I've got it!
On the phone, Annie's dad told her that he's actually part water elemental, and Annie is trying very hard not to zero sum.

 There is actually a phsychopomp for electrical appliances, but Muut isn't it. |

I believe Tom has specifically stated there isn't one.

And since planets moved across the night sky, they were considering something of wanderers, correct? So she could be an alien, sent to observe the humans. An Eye from the Wandering Stars? |

I'd understand such a guess about Anthony - he looks a bit like Little Grey Men, after all. I'm afraid "Coyote [...] doesn't know what she really is" bubbles down the drain now that Ysengrin explained everything.  Well, coyote called her "Wandering Eye" didn't he? And since planets moved across the night sky, they were considering something of wanderers, correct? [...] An Eye from the Wandering Stars? That's not guessing, that's theologizing... My current guess is that the door leads to Donlans' server room. Which isn't easily accessible in a normal way anymore. |

Jones being an alien is somewhat wacky, but that's what 'they' want you to think. |

Brinnie's return and the fact that someone mentioned that the Tic-Tocs have a line of what is possibly runes along the backside of their head, got me thinking. www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=13Could the Tic-Tocs be connected to Odin's ravens? Odin had two ravens Hugin (Thought) and Munin (Memory) that flew around the world watching everything and bringing him news. Tom also said that the other robots view the Tic-Tocs as mythological. There is no reason they should be wrong. This is truly a wild speculation. If my grammar is bad I apologise. Though I read a lot of english I seldom write it. |

Brinnie decides that she'll need to give Antony an extra nudge and so fishes out her Valkyrie armor (assuming that Valkyries in the "Gunnerkrigg Court" universe wear the kind of armor in fantasy art that wouldn't be practical in combat but which heterosexual males find appealing) and wears it during the weekends. The Court faculty immediately calls her in for a long talk about inappropriate apparel, and even decides to send a note to the "old man" - once it can figure out a way to deliver messages to Asgard.

Knowing Tom if she got out her valkyrie armor it would be historically accurate. Full viking armor with weight of a few tons. |

Though Tom's been known to deviate from historical accuracy when the result would be funnier (like Basil having all those gift-wrapped presents at his birthday party when Theseus crashed it). |

(Reposted from another thread)
Have we ever actually seen Anthony in this time period? Obviously, he's in the flashbacks a lot, but I don't think we have EVER seen his physical form, let alone his face, while Annie was alive.
I think that perhaps Anthony was the host of Renard's body-swapping-wooing, and Anthony was transferred to some other corpeial form, not nessecarily of human form. Maybe we'll even get to see him in this chapter! As part of a computer or android like form!

Anthony is so quiet and deadpan because he is consistently going through life in the world of the etherium, like the fairies from the previous chapter. His scientific mind which doesn't accept "it just does" is instead inside the ether, constantly studying it. Hence why etheric beings like Surma and Brinnie are so attracted to him, he's brimming with etheric personality! I wonder what would happen if Annie were to look at him in the etherium, now that she can. Will she see a happy, smiling, and energetic father?

Is it the same sort of, uh, "heterosexual males" that for some reason like to draw images of women with broken spines? I.e. average American comic artists who feel the need to repeatedly add notes about avoiding to draw a figure "too masculiine", try too hard by exaggerrating, er, distinctions, and then slip and draw them with broad shoulders anyway? ;D The Court faculty immediately calls her in for a long talk about inappropriate apparel, and even decides to send a note to the "old man" Hard to imagine them caring about such details. Jones is Anthony in a dress and wig It's the real reason "Jones" couldn't be in the photo! This is now my favourite wild spec in the history of ever. Ahaha. It fits everything we know so well. ;D |

Donald needs surgical blades and whatever is in that jar because the controls for Microsat 5 are integrated in some freaky biomechanical creature that Anthony created.

Fish > I speculated before that the robots are the closest thing Gunnerkrigg Court got to generic Abrahamic religion believers, and that Kat is really close to Melek Taus, the Peacock Angel of the Yazidi religion, who refused to worship Adam (as God said only God should be worshiped, in the Yazidi interpretation that makes Melek Taus a positive figure, but other religions have often identified Melek Taus with Satan and persecuted the Yazidis for this reason).
There are also elements of gnosticism, with the True Creator (the mythical being that originated the Tic Tocs) against the flawed Creator of men (robots: Diego).

I haven't seen this one mentioned, though I haven't read through the whole thread in a while:
The court didn't track down Gamma and Zimmy to protect them or look after them or study them. Perhaps they brought them to the court so they'd have a powerful weapon close at hand. Just strand Zimmy in the forest without Gamma and chaos ensues at least until the next storm rolls on through.

I have no idea if anyone has come up with this before, but since there's almost 2,000 posts, I'm not going to bother checking: I can't help but think there is a connection of some sort between Ms. Jones and the Tic-Tocs (i.e. Wandering Eye and the thousand eyes). Also, I think who/whatever created the Tic-Tocs created the Seed Bismuth. The Court was said to have been grown from the Seed Bismuth, and the buried Tic-Toc that was used as an excuse for Coyote and Ysengrin to visit had started growing. That seems miles beyond even what Diego could manage. Of course, now I have to wonder what it is about Antimony that made who/whatever is controlling the thousand eyes try to save her. |

The Tic-Toc that Ysengrin brought to the parley had at least one huge metal tube growing out of it which was nowhere to be seen when Annie cut it open, and which could not have fit inside the bird without warping space. |
