gunnerkrigg.comYay!
Really enjoying the tone of the most recent updates. So refreshing.
I wonder where they're going. To see Robot?

Hoping for 10QN. Last we saw any of them other than Kat+Paz was the day of Anthony's return, and it seems they've been pretty concerned about it.

"You know, I think he has a thing for you"
Tom has brought up this weird connection between William and Annie before, in the early pages of New Data here. I wonder if we'll actually see something here, or if it'll be played around differently than with PazKat?

My theory is that Winsbury empathizes with Annie regarding crazy parents. Here Tom says Winsbury spent a lot of time camping with his folks. I think that Winsbury's parents might have been terrible like Anthony. They kept him kind of isolated and away from civilization which is why when he went to the school he was kind of a jerk; he didn't really know how to act around other people.

Should be interesting if the theory about the Winsbury parents being ex-animal ex-Foley students ends up being true. Would explain the hair at least.
And if the parents were disappointed that WW didn't end up ether-capable, maybe he picked up on that, playing into the jerkface aspect? And maybe W^2, upon meeting someone with an even more messed up upbringing than his own (some weird quiet new kid with a dead mom and a disappeared dad), had an introspective moment and cleaned up his act as a result?

You know, I think Winsbury just sort of became a nicer guy and likes Annie as a friend now. I think the "he has a thing for you" thing is just a joke about how oblivious everyone is to his and whats-her-face's relationship.

My bet is that it's her old class mates.
E: Called it.

Goes to show where my interests lie - I instantly thought of Parley and Smitty, hoping they were going to plan Jeanne's breakout. Robot is much more likely though.
^I^don't^care^about^Robot^and^Romance Gimme some action, yo.

They're not gonna hop on the Free Jeanne train head-on while Annie's like this. Let her get back up to speed, yo!
I'd guess we're going to see all her old classmates. Her friends miss her!

Maybe it's a welcome back Annie party, with everyone there, like Red and Blue, the Bunny, classmates, Basil, and the other two! Would be a good excuse to see some characters we haven't seen in awhile.
It's funny how we think of them all as being Annie's friends now, but for most of the time, they haven't been. Annie was the weird girl who doesn't know how to relate, Kat was the teacher's daughter, and they only invited her along to the night parties because she could sneak out. Annie wasn't even invited. I think it's lovely how they've come to see her, and like her, but she still doesn't actually think that they like her or want to be friends.

What the fudge is up with that room?

It's the perfect study room, from the point of view of a well-meaning mad scientist.

Well, depending what you're studying...I guess?

You know, I'm not in a rush to see Reynard out of Kat's control anytime soon after all. He's so cute in the fifth panel :3

"Can Reynard come?"
It feels SO weird to see Annie as that.
