Gunnerkrigg Court 3: Mystery Solved!

[Arrghus]

It also sorta explains why the cow was hostile to Elgamore, if Elgamore inherited Young's position at the school. Or those cows are just jerks.

They're kind of jerky.

[Marnath]

Sir young might be the "terrible demon" too.

"You will pay for what you did to her."

[Glass Mouse]

Here's a hint.

Ohh. That makes a ton of sense. Thanks!

[Mauve Shirt]

Antimony had that idea.

So... what are we thinking Anthony did to Antimony? Anything? Does it have to do with the rocket?

[Scowling Dragon]

.......Is this arc over? I want things to make sense again.

[eee]

.......Is this arc over? I want things to make sense again.

BWAH-HA-HA, things will NEVER make sense again! That signpost up ahead... You have entered: The ZIMMY Zone!!

[Gez]

Tom Siddell promised that this Zimmy chapter would be followed by a Coyote chapter, so if you want things to make sense*, you might wanna wait the chapter after that.


(* Side note: again, I find that things make sense already. Weirdness has its own logic; and Gunnerkrigg Court is weird but not random.)

[Scowling Dragon]

Actually I find Coyote arcs make sense. Just this was a bunch of just guessing at what the flunk is going on.

[Marnath]

Really? I understand what happened this time.

Spoiler

Show

Annie collapsed in a hallway, Kat was by her bedside and fell asleep. she dreamed that Reynardine, Robot and Shadow2 were there as well even though they really weren't. Zimmy and Gamma entered Kat's dream(the head-pidgeon represents Kat's inner monologue or whatever) and from there she moved to Annie's subconscious to help her. She sifted through some memories/dreams until she got down deep where she saw Annie's true form for the first time. She followed the bone spikes up to wherever deadbeat dad is hiding and knocked him out to stop him from doing the Unspecified Bad Thing that he was up to. Then she found out the hard way that Annie can move things in the real world. Also, Gamma stole the headband of +5 straightness, with a message from Zimmy that you can't always run from what scares you, which possibly refers to the fact that she hasn't dealt with her apparent confusion over her sexuality.

Spoilered for length and poor paragraph construction.

[Scowling Dragon]

Uh.....Yeah. Not helping much.

IMO, the headband is not a question of confusion over her sexuality. It's a question of appearances. A mask of her own. Something to avoid repeats of the Paz incident.

Kat has long suffered from ostracism by her peers, Annie being the first friend she made. She doesn't like the idea of people gossiping about her and finding new reasons to shun her more.

How does that conflict with what I said?

[eee]

Aw, that's SWEET.

Jack's got a real problem here.

And the red highlights are back in Zimmy's hair.

I approve of this message.

[Qwertystop]

And, of course, the Zimmy arc is followed by a bonus comic that makes only slightly more sense.

Still funny though.

Does that person have an official name?

Her name is Tea.

[Othniel Edden]

Reminds me of Mirage from the Incredibles.

[eee]

Given how many secrets are floating around GC, I'm kind of worried about what would be a Great secret.

Maybe this is Coyote's secret he said he'd tell Annie one day...

And what kind of skull is that?

[Dr.Epic]

Zimmy is Annie's time-traveling daughter?

Wait...I stop reading this comic for a few weeks and what happens?

[Marnath]

Jack kidnapped Kat and Annie found out Eglamore and Anja are having an affair. Reynardine is secretly a female.

More confusion.

[Marnath]

More confusion.

That's a natural outcome of skipping to the last page of a thread without reading any of it.

[eee]

Wow. This is a GORGEOUS and heart-warming page! I want to hug Ysengrin too, now...

[Darius123]

Yeah, I love the art in today's comic, too. Beautiful stuff.

But I can't shake this nagging feeling that something bad is going to happen very soon...

[Spamotron]

Well Tom has said in interviews when asked that neither of the Forest or the Court are the "Good Guys" in their conflict and both have some nasty skeletons in their closets. We've seen one of the court's (Jeane) and gotten a glimpse of one of the Forest's (the Glass-Eyed-Men throwing Shadow2 out of the forest for not hating humans). The latter could be it. Anne knows of the Glass-Eyed-Men's hatred from Shadow2's story but might not have really had it hit home just how much they must hate her personally given all the personal attention she gets from Coyote. What with Coyote ignoring them for humans being the basis of their hate and all.

[eee]

MORE wonderful art! These two are getting along so well. This is such a happy time.

Obviously it's not going to last.

[Marnath]

Haha, I knew he cared. He just doesn't want to admit it.

Annie really needs a haircut or something. Pretty soon she'll be tripping on it.

[Othniel Edden]

Ysengrin will be one of my favorites if he keeps this up. *d'awww*

[Mauve Shirt]

Love Annie's >:( face!
Coyote's giant monster face? Not so much.

[SlyGuyMcFly]

Good grief Coyote. Creepy as ever.
