Well a good reason to make an account, welcome! I think this was mentioned, but till now I didn't buy it. And now I noticed her wristband on both the first page you mentioned and the page Jenny was introduced. Of course this is prove she is Coyote's agent, his bind is under that band. Woah. That is a step beyond where I was even thinking about taking this. That would be a crazy plot twist if it was revealed that coyote has agents in the school, or just this one "witch". As for whether or not the two are the same character, the younger one is most definitely a girl, because you can see some curving around the chest if you look closely. Other than that they both seem to have the same color eyes and hair, and like wearing red and armbands to hide their secret coyote spy bindings. |

Well, some guys have curvier chests than others. She looks sort of female, though, because of the eyelashes. I think a lot of people use eyelash thickness to signify gender.
I still feel like these kids are in another year, though. They seem older to me, all three of them. And the girl in red has black eyes, as do her two companions. A majority of students we've seen have black or very dark eyes.
I think Jenny has a significantly smaller mouth.

Not at all! You see, I have long suspected that Ysengrin lost his ear to a bind of coyote's. That means that Jenny's bind is clearly elsewhere. The shoulder? A foot? I don't know, but since as we know she sent the messenger bot to the forest as well, and she likes the color red, and Jack - he doesn't seem to like the color red, and then the Tic-Tocs; because steadman - yes and Gamma is an excellent pastry chef. Yep. Yeeepp yeppers this proves it: Coyote is the child of Eglamore and Jones, and he is either left-pawed or ambidextrous.

Theory = Obliterated
But obviously Brinnie is trapped inside the power station to supply the court with etheric energy. Thats why a computer can cast spells and why Eglamore was able to teleport when the signal he gave Annie was used. It also explains that Zimmy is her daughter and therefor one of the Aesir, meaning the coyote is really Annies mother and Surma was boxbot the WHOLE TIME

Not sure if it counts as "cool", but I just read Spring Heeled #1 to my daughter and noticed for the first time how utterly ashamed and devastated Reynardine becomes when Jack mentioned that he had tried to kill Antimony. In particular panel 6 here: www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=700 |

I hadn't noticed until Tom's video today, but the reason Ali is told in chapter 13 to make a wooden stick house is in preparation for nest building, making a house out of sticks. www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=235 |

Alright.... that is a proof, supposing that she's worn that wristband for all these years and this type of wristbands are rare enough to be her trademark clothing. |

Also, there are some lover initials ( S & B ) carved on the stone, just up of the Antimony seal symbol on www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=787S+B goes as far back as chapter 16. Maybe even earlier? I need to reread the comic again... Ah yes, Tom's video today reminded me that we might have seen S+B as far back as chapter 13.  The scribbles on Aly's desk are nigh indecipherable but it's possible to make out the first letter of the first word as an "S"; and the first letter of the second one is probably a small "B". Now the character in between those two words looks like a "4" but could also be a very blurry "+". So here you go, ladies and gentleman, the first appearance of S+B! |

Jenny's wristband doesn't seem to be visible in most of her panels. I'm not sure it has any significance.

Actually I'm almost certain it's not significant, but no detail worthy of speculation should go unnoticed  A bit more serious: the wristband could be Tom's way of saying: "Yeah this is the same girl, I just changed her a bit." But probably it's just not important. |

Now the character in between those two words looks like a "4" but could also be a very blurry "+". So here you go, ladies and gentleman, the first appearance of S+B! Yeah, I remember seeing that before and everyone trying to figure it out. I was reminded about it in Tom's video too. Dangit, like we need more conspiracy fodder!  So to me the first word really looks like "spinach". I agree that the middle character does look like a "4" or a blurry "+". (I actually write my +'s like short squat 4s when I'm writing fast, so I can totally see this.) As for the last word, I can't make it out but it does looks like it starts with a "b". I did a quick Google search and did come across a website spinach4breakfast.com but I can't imagine that has anything to do with anything. It just made me laugh. What really irritates me more than anything is that the writing is perpendicular to how someone would actually sit in the desk. Who would do this? I mean, I guess could see someone writing up the edge like that, but then the writing would be facing them not facing away. Unless they were writing a message made to be seen by someone across the aisle from them? (Or now that I think about it for a moment, it was probably written by the person across the aisle from them. Duh.) |

Huh. I shouldn't be surprised anymore when an unambiguous answer here raises exponentially more questions. Spinach and Beanhead. I thought Tom said this on Formspring. Maybe as important as "113"? , referencing the initials on the tree. Could be a reference to Greenman and Jeanne... any reason Jeanne might have the nickname Beanhead? Necro-speculo-post! So it is the same S+B, according to Tom - also, I assume someone's noticed (tangentially) that Sb is the elemental symbol for Antimony, and it comes from the word 'stibnite'? |

I wonder if it's done by someone in her class... Someone who can't use the real names, because of a certain principal that is also the father of a certain girl... |

Or perhaps it's a mystery that won't ever be solved, or refers to something personal in Tom's life? (shrug) |

I just realized that Parley is in training as the next Protector of the Court. The Protectors are also known (albeit obsoletely) as Dragon Slayers. Parley's first name is George. One of the most famous tales of dragon-slaying is Saint George and the Dragon. I'll feel like a monumental dolt if this was in some way intentional and I never picked up on it. |

IS THAT A FACELESS WHITE DRESSED WOMAN ON THE RIVER? JEANNE ON THE WATERS? ON THAT ANCIENT IMAGE OFSAINT GEORGE SLAYING A DRAGON???  |

www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=194The forums link on that page and the next are incorrect links. Also, there is quite a lot of mention about an "art page" before that that I haven't been able to find. (New reader here if you couldn't tell  currently on comic #202)

I don't know if it's cool, but I never noticed. According to this page, they lowered Jeanne down to the Annan Waters at midnight. The man's watch said 3 o'clock, and he claimed three hours had passed. He even called the three hours the "appropriate amount of time". |

It is explained in the next chapter, The Coward Heart. |

On page 363, the science teacher, who I think is Dr. Disaster, is smiling at Jones as they talk. In Chapter 23, Dr. Disaster is revealed to have a massive crush on Jones. Coincidence? I think NOT.
Damn, Tom is amazing at keeping track of his references and details, even with several chapters in between! More often than not, references to previous comics can make for inconsistencies in the storyline.
