Oh no! Monkey Island all over again!!

Well now who’s she living with???? Kat?

"How exciting!" (At least the Artemis capsule is splashing down today.) Monday will be filled with intrigue!

Start taking bets on how shocking the reveal of who is calling out from the next room will be- if it's Jenny I will riot lol

NO ONE from Teams Annie and Jenny will be able to remember their previous lives after entering Zimmyland, considering that only Zimmy and Coyote (Zimmyland’s creators) have retained their memories. The interactions among them all will be interesting. However, since Coyote’s end game is his own death by Annie and his own gifted tooth, we can be sure that he will eventually enable at least Annie to remember. Looking forward to your final resolution, Tom. Thank you for a grand ride!

Now the question becomes: will the Inner World be able to conjure up a fake Surma to pair with Tony, or will it be unable to do so without diminishing Annie's flame?

"Are we in hell?" "Worse. The suburbs."

This implies Annie is a bit of a delinquent when it comes to being on time.

Place your bets, will it be a smiling father or living dead mother downstairs? Either way, let the pain hit hard

Oh, sweet creepy dreams... Anny is in Zimmyland now...

Assimilated!

Who is talking to Annie? Only Rey and Tony call her Antimony. The car suggests an adult, eg, Tony, however he is not in the inner world while Rey is.

she so eepy

Ughhh I have this sinking feeling her mother will be here…

Perhaps, this is suburban hell

At least have a quick pit wash...

Surma?

An ordinary day in an ordinary world. That's all Zimmy ever wanted.

let's start a new lotus-eating day

I bet it’s her mother calling her, telling her not to be late….

........ Annie's Mum?!?!!??

I am so itching to see how Reynard manifests in this realm!

Ahhh fun and cute, excited to see how it goes Also damn... fancy looking car

cute fit

Huh. That doesn't look like on-campus housing. ???? Didn't think about that before. Actually, between what I've read, and knowing my own culture, this seems like it might be closer to American-type stuff. (AFAIK. I'll admit my overall knowledge of schooling in different regions is limited.)

Welcome to the Matrix

I know this seems like a simple set up scene, but who is Annie talking to? Did this world give her an illusion of her father? Or is it an illusion of her mother? Will her parents always be a voice in the other room or will they be more substantial? If Surma is "real" in this world, what has happened to Reynard? Is he the parent Annie is talking too?

Gunnerkrigg Court, a world where a brave group of magically gifted adolescents and creatures fall into a strange world of normality

Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! It's off to school we go!

Not her father calling but her mother.

Nooooooooooo!!!! We’ve been isekai’d into a slice of life!!!!

Eyes Wide Shut

Who was that!???

This uniform!!! It's not the green and white Gunnerkrigg school uniform with the yellow sweaters. This is the royal blue one Zimmy was wearing.

But who called her though???

Zimmyvision Zim-Zimmyvision... Zimmyvision!

Nooo she’sa corpo-girly!

Another suburban family morning Father is screaming through the wall We have to shout above The din of our Rice Krispies We can't hear anything at all...

Wherein Annie goes to the office in the Real World and the entirety of Gunnerkrigg Court has been a dream (or has it?)

How much does anyone wanna bet it's her MUM calling for her....

What even is the plot of this comic anymore

This is a comic about a girl and her many outfits.

Welcome to the one place Tom could think of that's worse then Manchester: Suburbia

She gonna keep her eyes closed the whole time or?

Not we don’t see Annie’s father

A new reality?

Well, now, who's wake-up voice is that?

Placing bets now: Is that Surma, Renard, or Yesengrin?

Good morning. Lovely forest wallpaper.

Oh man, It would be so funny if it was Jenny and her gang room-mating with annie

That is strange

She's not wearing the thread tied around her neck.

Love the filter over everything to make it look subtly Different.

While I realize her eyes opened in the just prior page, I feel like them being shut here is intentional and may just persist. Like when Zimmy was in Annie's mindscape.

Fifty bucks says her mom is gonna be home.

I wrote this ending. Everything was a dream, isn't that cool?

HOLY HECK WAS THAT SURMA

Wait, is that Ysengrin?

Whaaaa?

Gunnerkrigg Court is filmed in front of a live studio audience. *laugh track*

Oh cool Annie lives in the same dreamscape as Zimmy.

The disappearing calendar

Zimmy just wants to feel normal

can't wait for the mom jumpscare

A car! Always dreamed to see Antimony driving! Wait, is she old enough for that?

Don't forget not to use your magical alien tine-freezing powers at school! (Or I'll tell Burt Reynolds.)

If that's Surma, Imma flipping the table

Oh, my poor, sweet Annie. All she wants is her family. Jack is going to be an interesting element here. And the witches. All they seem to want is power. All Jack seems to want is Zimmy. Will things manifest differently for him since he’s spider-brained?

The whole "doing everything with your eyes closed" brings to mind Annie's masked encounter with Zimmerzims in the hospital. (And also what to do when you're trying to impress your crush with your science project, but that's probably unrelated)

I was wondering who the disembodied voice was. At first I thought it might be Kat in a dorm room. The house view in p5 suggests that Tony might be prompting the sleepy head! The car (personal vehicle) is certainly different than what we have seen in GC before. I really like the portrait of Annie in the last panel! Good work, Tom. -- I wonder how the dynamics of Coyote / Reyandine / Ysengrin will play out within the school setting. -- Looking forward to seeing Gamma again!!

Turns out it was all a dream. Rest of the story plays out as a normal high school drama. What a twist

Open your eyelids already, Annie, they look smug.
