IS THAT THE TIME STRIP?
That thing is still going?

Also because I'm still on my Gunnerkrigg Court kick I just wanted to say that it's really weird how Reynardine is introduced as this mondo evil bad guy and now he's basically a good guy. Like I get character development and shit but reading the comic so quickly made it feel like it happened almost unreasonably fast. Also his backstory kinda skirts the line of retroactive continuity as far as characterization goes but w/e it's fine.

He was never really bad. Several years of imprisonment, and then resentfulness to Annie, made him come off as evil. Really, he's always been a good guy, but he's a trickster god who was very angry for a while there.

Not to mention the lethal side effect of his body-swapping isn't really his fault, although since he does know exactly what will happen when he's jumping into someone's body then he does have to take some responsibility for continuing to do it.

BUT HE IS INTRODUCED TRYING TO KILL THE DAUGHTER OF HIS FORMER (unrequited, but he didn't know that), LOVE. Like I get that it's all a misunderstanding but I thought the whole reason he was staying at GC was because he was atoning for that dude he killed on accident and that doesn't really gel with his earlier characterization. And I get that he was bitter but now that he's out he is kinda an atoner dude again?

Like I said though it's not really important. Characterization changes and stuff, and I really like his character and his arc anyway.

In other news HAHA CAD had a rape joke haha Tim you joker you fucking idiot you.

I always considered him trying to posses Annie as either A) a very desperate ploy to escape, because his imprisonment was that bad, or B) completely fake and he had actually planned to hop into the doll, as a form of atonement.

But the real issue is it's still unexplained. Once he gets around to actually talking about it, I'm sure it'll make sense.

Oh, I'm sure it'll be explained eventually, it's just odd is all. It's one of the only things in the comic that I'm not sure if it's a mystery or just a bit of a logistical error, but if I'm supposed to be wondering about this then it'll be covered eventually.

I think it's supposed to be kind of a mystery, yeah.
It might actually be explained in this chapter, what with all the backstory hints going on here.

Personally I think he tried to possess Annie out out desperation, but actually stayed with her out of remorse from what he tried to do. From there he actually grew to try and be a father figure but is sort of failing miserably at that.

DOING A WHOLE LOT BETTER THEN HER REAL DAD THAT'S FOR SURE.

Annie's dad is probably the most evil character in the story

we don't even know yet but i'm so preemptively sure that he's like i dunno some kind of ultra-hitler because who is this bad of a parent

I think he's trying to cure Annie of the death by childbirth but I'm not entirely sure.
Also even if that's true he is probably doing some ultra evil to do it
Also Jeanne is the final bossman

Have you gotten to the Jones backstory chapter yet?

Because something tells me that's far less annoying when not experienced in real-time.

Yeah, that part was cool.
I'm actually up to now, which is why I brought up the Reynardine thing in the first place, since The most resent page at time of writing is him morning at the grave of that guy I guess he killed. Also now that I think Annie never told Reynardine about his body so I guess that's a thing.
vE:oh yeah, I kinda forgot that that was the point of that.

What body? His real body? He knows Coyote has it. Coyote basically gave him an open invitation to come back to the forest whenever he wants.
