Annie wondering who the black-haired girl from her dream is

What a sad glimpse of Mort! And she surely also misses that dreamy best friend of hers!

Annie, are you ok?! (Hey, that's Mort! I hope his group it's going good)

that is SUCH a cool way to show the like... formless half-memories of a dream. immediately evoked that exact feeling. super cool, well done, Tom!

Fren-shaped memories! Lovely to see Mort in there, too. :)

Daydreaming about Kat.... kinda gay /pos

"Man, when is that cool webcomic with the girl genius gonna update- oh! Yay!"

Can't wait for Annie to see the girl from her dream frantically run up to her and start babbling about finding her and getting the others.

You really ought to do some pages like this in landscape so we can use them as desktop wallpapers. Gorgeous work.

Annie wtf did your "dream" do to Mort and Coyotengrin? You know what, you should draw a comic- er, you should write everything down and get someone else to draw a comic! God imagine Annie trying to draw her long dream, she gets praised for her abstract art when she was trying to make everything as clear as possible. "No, it's not an abstract angel pipe organ, this was my friend in the dream!"

Oooh I love this page! Kat but without cityface on her head…..Annie knows who Kat is, right? The blinker stone, her fire power, Coyote, and who is that twisted student?? Just a memory of a Gunnerkrigg student? And what is the green eye? Is that a Coyote-Ysengrin mix there??? And what is that building behind Kat??? Can’t wait to read the other comments today!!! Love that look on Annie’s face….remembering, daydreaming….

A day-dream about some mysterious other life. Is it Coyote trying to reach "Fire-head girl" or is it Annie herself, knowing she must wake up?

A daydream within a dream.

They're *all* shapes and colors, Tom.

M-m-Mort? Is that you?!

Uh oh! Annie seems to think Kat was just a dream.

Is that ghost supposed to be Mort? Man, haven't thought about him in a long while.

Mort??

I wonder who Annie's crush is.

Aww Hi Mort

Opium dream

Opium dream

Oh, she's day dreaming about Kat.... ???? Hmmm is Kat perhaps trying to reach out to her and remind her of who she is. We see "Annie" written twice in the purple under Coyote, Kat calling to Annie?

That's a bit of a Kat fixation there, Annie. Is there... something you want to share with us?

Mort?

Ack, I'm loving this page... The dark impressions of Annie's early days at Gunnerkrigg.... All the Kats are so cute. The negative shapes in the fire look like a person I also realized that the white form could be a speech bubble (I initially took it as Mort). It's coming from the same direction as Coyote is, so it could be him speaking to Annie, but he has never called her "Annie"

that makes sense

What is this green eye next to Coyote - i don't remember it?

now THAT is ominous!

Omg the distortion didn't make them friends. Shes's gonna see kat outside her "dream" and freak out about "how possibly she could dream about someone real without meeting them" and then she's gonna break out of the illusion.

Where is Kat?!? Hope she's ok!

So it seems Kat avoided getting integrated into Zimmy's fantasy like oil in water, now seeming to be just a part of Annie's dream. She really can't help but see through ether shenanigans, can she?

Kat, Coyote, & Mort! Mort!! Mort!!! Blinker stone focus? Love the 2 Kat images in the lower left!

YES if Annie remembers her "dream" well enough she should be mesmerized by that there's no Kat in sight. Where did Kat come from? She was so major a character, and other major characters mostly are present here. Why no Kat? What does it mean? Think, Antimony, think! And maybe you'll R3M3MB3R

Tom, I am so disappointed that you have a coyote plush but not a renard plush, even though Renard IS a plush.

Finally, back to the main story. I don't care as much about the witch gang as many readers seem to be, but I am deeply invested in Jack, who a lot of people hate now. He's been a troubled haunted soul from the very start. Also, whatever happened with the mysterious Court with their plans to exit reality? I wonder what that white blob is? Reminds me of a certain ghost we used to know...

oh my goodness is that mort?! is that misshapen white blob mort??!

Kat!!?!??!

Where is my man

Annie? Annie. Annie! ANNIE!!!

Annie's thinking about the dream!! Importantly it seems she's thinking about mostly stuff unique to the "dream", Mort absolutely doesn't exist in the zimmyverse, while coyote exists in the zimmyverse its not like that and it seems like the zimmyverse has no magic. This brings me to my theory that Kat might not be in the zimmyverse, it's an etheric thing which Kat has continually been shown to interact weirdly with, and if Zimmy has any control over this she might have built it so Kat cant enter. If she is in the zimmyverse, it's definitely gonna be in a weird way

Is that Annie's blinker stone? I thought it was destroyed? That's one ell of a checkovs gun.

Annie took of her blazer, which she was even wearing at home (Page 3243), also probably during breakfast off-screen. So the reason is unlikely the temperature.

mort fun time

Chat is it gay if you forget about your best friend because she doesn't exist but then you actually do kinda remember her a little bit and she's looking at you from astride a hair curl and she has a pretty hairband

Annie has some wild daydreams in class.

Either Kat is sane and confused or sane and locked up somewhere. Cause Zimmy is terrified of her. I wonder if she’s scared bc Kat is the catalyst but not the killer, cause I think Jenny or Jack would do something incredibly stupid. Why be on her side at all?

Ohh did Kat really not get translated into the illusion?!

The distorted shape of a brave young lad has brought me to tears. Mortimer, is that you?

That's a LOOOOOOOT of appealing Kat angles that you're thinking about Annie.

Yeah, speaking of Kat....... She's been a no-show so far. Why?

That's a lot of Kat faces that she's dreaming about. Is this KatAnnie after all?? Lol

Aww Mort!

Really not good that Kat only exists as a dream.

I’m sure Kat taking up so much of her brain space means absolutely nothing. And hey, Mort rated a cameo!

she will never beat the allegations

is it finally happening

Memories of her life at Gunnerkrigg Court: Kat, Mort, Coyote, a robot eye, being a fire elemental, a blinker stone....I wonder if her real life will finally break through.

Kat and Annie gonna fuuuu-

I love the all caps ANNIE just above her head, as if someone is calling to her/yelling at her. Also... if Kat is outside the illusion and *everyone else* is inside... I can kind of imagine how she might attack/hurt Zimmy in a desperate attempt to break people free.

You're bein' weird, Kat. Quit it.

Rust - Tom did sell a Rey plush, but it was a limited run. (I know because I have one.)

She's dreaming of kat because they're in love

Chiming in again to say THAT I TOO wonder who Annie's crush is. You/Annie have done an exceptional job keeping a lid on that one, Tom, cause like... MAYBE it's Kat?? And also, MAYBE Kat is just, like, her best friend?? Wild how hard it is to tell

Can't wait to see Kat's pov of being the solo audience of a really boring puppet show. Or maybe she's been reincarnated as a sentient data center ..

Fun fact, that space between Kat and Mort LOOKS like an empty hallway, sure, but it's actually City Face donning a clever disguise

Reminds me of Slay the Princess

so like wouldn't it be hilarious if we'd gone through a hundred chapters of story and this is the last chapter that would just be like so yeah everything wasnt real lol

Also: @mori, the fine webcomic actually titled Girl Genius, which has historical links to Gunnerkrigg Court (search “Legendary Showdown game”, kids!) releases new pages to the same schedule as this fine webcomic. :)

Who’s the grey haired person in the uniform?

Mort, Mort, Mort, Mort!!

Oh! It will be interesting when Annie sees her teacher since he was in her 'dream'

The green is definitely Ysengrin. Folded into Coyote like that, how could it not be? Also, I agree with Orion about everything.

can someone pls tell me what days it updates bc i check everyday and it seems random???

Mort!(hope he is doing good)????
