Hm. I stand corrected in my correction. Next, Coyote will pop up and say he wrote the letter, and implanted the memory into Paz's head.

Tom. This feeling I have. Thank you for it. :] Seriously am loving the les in this... It's actually real refreshing.

22 May 2013 | 12:05 AM
HMMMMMMMMMM

Holy Moly, Moly Holy!!! I have no idea how to feel about this, other than to think that Paz is very unlucky, since this love will also probably be unrequited.

Somewhat expected, but man, Kat is really on an emotional rollercoaster lately. Shame we can't see her face on the last panel. Let's see what she answers! (Hopefully she won't run away really fast)

[MUFFLED SCREAMING NOISES IN THE DISTANCE] I CAN'T STOP GRINNING I'M SO HAPPY THIS IS POSSIBLY ONE OF THE GREATEST TURNS OF EVENTS YOU REALLY HAD ME GOING THERE WITH BOBBY FOR A WHILE TOM I CANNOT EVEN BELIEVE unfortunately i have a feeling Kat's reaction on Friday will send all of those good feelings spiraling downhill BUT FOR NOW I'M JUST GOING TO SIT HERE AND RELISH MY MOMENT OF HAPPINESS OVER ADORABLE QUEER CHARACTERS

Yeah, not exactly unexpected. Now to see what Kat makes of it...I mean after birds, one would think she'd be open minded, but then there's social pressures...

Bobby is a stand up guy. I mean, his leg joints aren't articulated enough for him to be able to sit properly. But still, stand up guy.

Predictable, but still good, you got your trolling in while still taking the story in the best possible direction for what you had set up, I'm glad I trusted you. But aside from that, Kat is uncommonly thick...

22 May 2013 | 12:39 AM

Oh, sweet little girl... This middle-aged broad who's straighter than quality control standards in a ruler factory is almost melting from the sheer cuteness and hopes this goes well. Hardly ever wanted to hug a fictional character so badly. :)

Called it! And in the best way possible. Paz is my favourite non-main character and she looks so cute like this. If Kat breaks her heart I will hate her (Kat) in the blackest way possible.

Called it! How awesome! KAZ IS A REALITY!!! And to anyone who takes offense that there is any form of "unconventional" romance in this comic... just let it slide and don't bash it. It's really sweet and also somewhat encouraging to those of us who aren't straight (I myself being pan). I personally find it bold of Tom to write such a real and somewhat controversial (though it really shouldn't be one) topic into his already inspiring and incredible comic. Keep being awesome, Tom.

22 May 2013 | 1:28 AM
Nanox

Finally!!! We all saw it coming, didn't we? ;)

22 May 2013 | 1:28 AM
AWESOME

YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ... I do hope that Kat is not about to break Paz's heart right now. Or that Paz isn't somehow confused about what sentiment she's conveying. PLEASE LET THIS BE AN EPIC REQUITED LESBIAN LOVE

22 May 2013 | 2:13 AM

I actually don't care about whether they end up in a relationship, but I'm still squeeing because regardless of what happens next, this probably means we get to see a lot more of Paz, who is A) an awesome character B) wonderfully philosophical/benevolent/wise-for-her-years (her mini-speech in A Bad Start is probably my favourite GC moment ever) C) hilariously unlucky Srs-ly it's like Britta Perry and Frank Dufresne had a kid and that kid ended up being raised by Fluttershy. Oh and that pic of her in panel 5 is like the best thing ever.

22 May 2013 | 2:21 AM
Miss

Say it with me: AWWWWWWWwwwwww. Altho it's more of a "Awww :(" because kat has rejected the idea of her being bi before. So this is likely not gonna turn into anything. :c

Mimico Florido

AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA OH YESSSSSSSSSSSSS THANK YOU TOM OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH TOM HAHAHA Sorry *back to being an average human* To tell the truth I'm more happy for the fact that Paz probably will appear more because of this than the whole shipping thing. While I don't dislike at all KatxPaz it looks more character development and good trolling than anything else. I still support the "Carver not having any romantic relationships" (that I came up with). Now... I hope she is going to be nice with Paz, the girl doesn't get much love... Paz deserves more love! People, give more love to her! *sends love in a package to Paz*

22 May 2013 | 2:39 AM
Mimico Florido

Thats really good trolling sir, really good. Making everyone fight to see who was right only to find out that EVERYONE WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL. This fits perfectly with Paz. As you Tom, created peace in the caos o-o with Paz. XD (I hope so.)

OoO :D D: !!! So much conflicting emotions bouncing off in me! YAY! Wow. Tom, look forward reading the sea of comments...I'm actually really, really happy to see this, but I'm worried Kat's reaction will be to stammer and run off. The facial expressions on both their parts are really adorable...I want it to be Friday, Friday already! Tom, you wonderful master of suspense! Te amo!

Oh, Kat, would this be good for you, ... Or bad? Annie has minor deities on Her dance card. Who is on Your dance card, Kat? A drafty old electronics shop? Is that fulfilling? Bah!! Why could not this have happened to me when I was in school?

22 May 2013 | 3:28 AM

Hmmm wonder what Kat will do. Either way Paz is cute.

This made me so happy. Now my my heart is in my throat waiting to see how Kat will respond.... (Also, I can't believe it's been almost 300 comics since that night Paz is mentioning...it feels like just yesterday!)

Dear brave Paz....

22 May 2013 | 3:53 AM
Paul

So that was what this was all about. I feel that Paz was even suckier before for projecting her own repressed feelings on Kat and giving her grief - but frankly I just feel a lot of sympathy for her for having the guts to confess her love for another girl (at age 14!), so right now I just hope this works out well for every one.

22 May 2013 | 3:54 AM
Thomas

Remember Chapter 113 Section H of the handbook. It applies to humans too. Nooooo, Kat don't fall for it... too late. I think she'll likely have trouble initially with this confession.

Aw man, I like Paz and all, but I don't want them to get together for the simple reason that Paz is a teenager, and a jealous teenager at that. She can't be gettin between no Kat/Annie friendship, fo realz.

Peridotdreams

My first question is this: Given that Paz has demonstrated attraction to boys in the past, has she been overcompensating for feelings towards girls, or is this a unique feeling for Kat? My second question is: Will Kat respond with a firm rejection followed by caring sensitivity, or will she completely flip out? Regardless, nice work on handling a delicate situation. As of the final panel, I SO desperately wanted to reach out and hug Paz. Take care!

Oh the same thing happened to me. I'm a 17 years old girl. I'm straight. This girl was my best friend for 3 years now. A month ago she comes to me saying that she was gay and in love with me. Umm...I gave it a shot. We're together now. I love her. Love comes in all shapes and sizes. That's why it's so beautiful.

Awww, how adorable. I should have known. Now, how will Kat react? Will she be flattered, offended, confused? Will she turn down right away, accept right away, or take some time? Will she talk to Annie about this?

I am... I am not sure how to feel. All my in-built tools for determining how a pairing might turn out don't work in this scenario... but I do think it's cool that Paz is being brave enough to tell Kat directly so there aren't any misunderstandings.

I swear they have only spoken two each other like twice. Once when she revealed she does horrible experiments on mice and another were she accused her of being a lesbian. Plus Kat has liked several men in the past and bird men. I don't see Kat going along with this.

"Tricky A. Kat reacts normally, happy couple end of story." So, that means this novel was all about Kat after all?

Also, oh my god, thinking about the timing here - Paz you ABSOLUTE CUTIE! That letter arrived in the evening the same day she saw them moving in together, she must've run straight off to work out a plan while Annie and Kat were rescuing Robot and attending the court medium appointment :) :) :) (Also kinda confused by the people talking about this like it's the first time in gkc - I mean, shadow and robot, and gamma and zimmy, are pretty obviously couples, in addition to loads of m/f couples? And also confused by people assuming that Kat will like her back even if she's into women after all; it took Paz hundreds of strips to get to this point, and if you recall matt, paz is a PRETTY FORWARD PERSON. Kat's gonna have to talk about this now, sure, but even with Paz as catalyst it'll take time

I kinda KNEW this was the real case. Though considering the implication that the poetry was so AWFUL, I figure it probably sounded much better en espanol. Now the real question: Is Kat straight as an arrow, or will she find she can swing both ways.....?

Holy hell - it was the ol' double twisteroo, and I was totally wrong! I should have known when Paz had stopped working and was watching through the window to see Kat's reaction to Bobby telling her. Also, that page with Kat's significant look at Paz in the distance ages ago? You play a long game, Sir. A very loooong game! That's why I love this comic.

22 May 2013 | 10:21 AM

Of course maybe this is the event that makes Kat go anti-gay and will cause some discord with her friendship between her and Annie. Because ultimately while her friendship with Annie is just that, in general their classmates view the relationship differently.

22 May 2013 | 10:24 AM
Some Kid

I totally thought that was just a sitcom-type joke

22 May 2013 | 10:26 AM
Melkior

Well, I have to congratulate those who called it. I didn't, although I considered it possible. Now the questions which come to mind are, does Paz want "romance" or "three besties", does Paz think that Annie and Kat are a gay couple, and is she correct? All of these questions and more will be answered in Tom's own sweet time, so suck it up and wait, but don't hold your breath. ;-)

Never commented before, but a friend got me into reading this a few months back and I've enjoyed every page! It has been so much fun watching the art style evolve and seeing the characters start to develop in new ways, I look forward to continuing to read these. Just wanted to add that normally the relationships in this comic are dealt with in a sensible, believable manner so why should people be freaking out over this development? Whichever way it goes, I have faith that Tom will make it credible and an interesting part of future updates. GK is an amazing story and it will keep being brilliant regardless of ships. Poor Kat is probably feeling a bit overwhelmed, but I hope she figures out what she wants and gets a chance to be happy... However long that takes.

22 May 2013 | 11:52 AM

I was really hoping for this not to happen, but now that it has, I pray that Robot will bust in there and take Kat away on, I don't know, a pelican?

Aw, the shy hopefulness in Paz's face makes me want to wince in sympathy. Kat will probably go all, 'I'm not into girls!' again, and hurt Paz's feelings. Also, I think she secretly likes Annie, anyway.

22 May 2013 | 12:19 PM
Ember

Aw, Paz, good for you! And three cheers for Tom! The lesson I hope everyone takes from this is that as nutty as shippers can sometimes be, they aren't nearly as delusional as the jerks who loudly insist that no character in their favorite media could ever possibly be bisexual. Queer people exist and there's absolutely no reason not to tell the sorts of stories about us that get told all the time about straight people.

Hey Tom! Just throwing it out there but it would be really cool if you switched the comments section to Disqus or something else with a reply button - because everyone in this community seems awesome and it would be a lot of fun to be able to discuss the story amongst ourselves, rather than one super super long continuous thread. I'd be excited anyway!

Bravo. What ever your opinion it took courage for Paz to speak. It was Paz who raised that reading of the relationship in the first place, totally surprising Kat. Tom willing we'll find how far Kat has discoverd of herself since. Zimmy and Gamma did show us something of pigeons was on her mind.

I hate to be a party pooper, but just because Paz is spouting her feelings, there's no reason to believe Kat will reciprocate. In fact, I am very worried for poor Paz that Kat will not.

Predicting Friday's comic: 3 panels. First panel (top left), close-up on Kat's blank stare. Second panel (top right), Kat turning around. Third panel (remaining space), top-down distance shot of Kat walking (running?) away from a heartbroken Paz. As squee-ful as today's comic made me, Kat is just too awkward about herself =/

Go for it Kat!

I really want this to happen! I think they'd make an AMAZING couple! DAMMIT THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN. IT HATH BEEN PREDETERMINED BY THE FATES. I want an adorable Kat/Paz thing to happen because they'd be amazing together and KAT TOTALLY SEEMS LIKE SHE DESERVES THIS.

Oh my god! I mean, I guessed it yesterday, but.. oh my god! I never thought in a million years that she would just come out and say it. I thought she would just awkwardly hint at it for a few chapters Wow. Holy cow. I'm just going to keep saying that for the next two days.

The girl has got some balls to admit and be straight forward about it. Lord knows most of us weren't like that in high school.

All of these poor, deluded fools in the comments make me cringe. You all realize that Kat has shown strong signs of being straight in the past... so unless she suddenly decides she's bi, this isn't going to fly. Also, the comic has been far too happy as of late. The misery levels are at an all time low. We're due for some serious sadness coming down the pipe, so get ready.

Better leave a comment here, cuz I was expecting this. Also, to the people saying that Kat would NEVER say yes cuz she has shown to be straight before, I think you need to remember that PAZ was also in that position of being VERY straight. Whether that was a guise or not has yet to be seen, though. Yes, Kat just accepting Paz's feelings might not happen right away, but shouldn't be shirked either. Whatever happens next page should be interesting, nonetheless.

Aww, adorably awkward Schoolgirl Lesbians. :3 Don't worry, it might just be a phase or a really spectacular rebound, but the thing about life is that you can only figure it out by living it, and you can only figure yourself out by living your life. That aside, it really is much easier to confess to the ownership of intellectual property rather than blurt out the full breadth of your emotions in person. Paz couldn't do the latter, so she had the letter written; now it's all in there. Now all she needs to do is admit the letter is hers, and she's set. It's still awfully brave of her. She could've just left Kat with the initial assumption, that the letter was from Bobby all along. But Paz is simply too honest for that.

Paz is sweet, and very brave to be able to make her feelings known... but Annie's going to be *furious*, especially since she and Kat just moved in together. Annie and Kat are *destined* to be together; their abilities complement each other perfectly, and together they are the future of both the Court and the Forest. Poor Paz is just a fellow student with a crush on Kat... This isn't going to turn out well no matter what happens.

May I just say... Five hundred. And seventy. Three. Comments as I write this (probably 7 billion by the time this gets put up). Tom, in all my readership, I have NEVER seen this much of a response.

Is it just me or did Paz's accent disappear since chapter 29

I love paz.... But I do not support this ship! Kate is in love with eglamore and alistair... They are both dudes!

Yeah...is it bad that I'm starting to thing Kat is secretly a boy or something? >.< SORRY! seriously though Tom, starting to get a bit unsure in Kats gender...even Zimmy said she's trying to look more like a girl! I NEED HELP!

23 May 2013 | 4:49 AM

Paz in that last panel is about the cutest thing I've seen this week. ... so Kat better not break her heart.

My read is that the last row of panels from Monday's comic, plus Tom's caption of "Ruthless Kat", are an indication that Kat is not wholly surprised by this revelation. No idea what will happen, though. I don't know if I ship Kat/Paz, but I hope Kat isn't a jerk.

And now cat is going to be all like "Well euhm, no I'm really not into girls, sorry Paz" Bring in the tears and heartwrench.

Paz is such a cute and lovely character X) I hope kat gives her a chance or tells her she'll think about it (or gently let her down and remain friends! poor paz has so much rejection then though...)

Well, it's Tom, so Friday's comic will obviously be an immediate cut to another scene elsewhere. I must be turning old and curmudgeonly before my time, because as much as I love this comic, all the rabid frothing 'shipping' going on in the comments here makes me feel like I'm in the wrong place.

23 May 2013 | 12:55 PM

23 May 2013 | 1:05 PM
walkercolt

No offense to all the shippers out there, but by all I've seen in the history of this comic Kat is, while a total tomboy and a bit awkward, utterly straight. It would be way out of character for KAZ to happen.

23 May 2013 | 1:56 PM

How the heck did I call this?! That was the last thing I actually thought would happen!
