The real question:
Did she make it? Or is she modifying one that was around? I'm assuming the former.

Welp. Congratulations, Katerina, on crossing off yet another thing on list of things-to-do-to-become-botgod.
I think she made one, based on the ones she saw in the court.
Also, is it just me or does that beak look horribly off? Like it is a skull peeking out of ill-fitting flesh (or feathers in this case, I guess?)

While it's surprising to see a Tic-Toc that in itself shouldn't require Kat to hide them from Antimonies unless there's another shoe that will drop based on questions that Antimonies seeing a Tic-Toc under these circumstances will ask.

I think she's captured one and analyzing the data inside it. Those birds probably have recorded information, maybe even on different dimensions. Gamma calls them the thousand eyes. www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=194Maybe we'll finally find out why the rescued Annie from falling off the bridge all those years ago? |

So is this one she captured? Or did she make it? If she made it from scratch then that answers where they came from and what they are for, and presumably we'll have some weird time travel shenanigans at some point. Also, assuming she made it and that they do go back in time, I think netherdan deserves some cookies from Friday! Bird shaped time machines. I'm betting on bird shaped time machines (or at least an egg) |

OK brain starting to recover... I think she made one, based on the ones she saw in the court. I don't think she's ever seen one yet? They always appeared when Kat wasn't around, which was key to the "Kat created them" theory. While it's surprising to see a Tic-Toc that in itself shouldn't require Kat to hide them from Antimonies unless there's another shoe that will drop based on questions that Antimonies seeing a Tic-Toc under these circumstances will ask. Kat is still looking really sad... Wildspec but maybe she can only save one of them? |

Gamma says Zimmy can’t stand the Tic-Toc looking at her, and Zimmy recently said she can’t stand looking at Kat. I can’t wait for the next page. I am leaning toward Kat being their creator. |

Wait, is the leading theory that a future Kat made the birds...
...and sent them back in time to save Annie from falling off the bridge?
And Annie was supposed to die that night, and that's why NEITHER of them should be in this timeline?
WHAT

Huh, you are right. I thought she saw one with the robots in chapter 24, but it is only the symbol which she probably wasn't even aware of. www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=646 |

Is that why the cover of this chapter is a younger version of Kat and Annie?
This is insane, I can't wait for this week's pages what is even haaaaaaapenning

They always appeared when Kat wasn't around, which was key to the "Kat created them" theory. Huh, I didn't think that could be true until I checked the index tags, and you're right. The only time Kat appears in the same page as a TocToc she is saying she wishes she could have seen one. Although that was way back in comic 157, it's been a long time since. Even Anja says they have never been studied, and some of the robots seem to think they are mythical and created by a divine being. Crap, there may be more to this theory than I thought! |

This is just like the crazy thought experiment Coyote had and Annie discussed with Jones. Can something exist before it's created? www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1121Can a Kat be driven to save a past Annie by a current Annie that wouldn't exist if not for time travel? |

Kat is still looking really sad... Wildspec but maybe she can only save one of them? Nah. I think she looks weird because... one of the alternate Annies was created by Loup. The other was created by Kat all those years ago. Actual Annie died. Imagine telling someone they should be dead. |

I’m sure this had already been folded into the theory, but we’ve all wondered I’m sure why the remains of the “dead” tictok... grew. www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=276So... makes sense with Kat’s recent work. |
