That's our Jones!
Jones vs Omega, let's gooooo!
Yes, you are, Jones. This feeds into my theory that Jones is literaly the spirit of the planet Earth and any attempt to move-her out of the plant's field of influene just simply wouldn't work properly.
Oh what???
what does Annie have in her hands
You also seem to be naked
Thank-you, Tom! I greatly enjoyed this page & look forward to the rest of the chapter.
Hum, inch-resting. Is Jones on the populated side of the boundary between distortion/Zimmy-school?
Well, that is inconvenient.
Annie to the rescue! Yay, more Jones!
Is that Antimony? I wonder... also, it's no surprise that Jones is stuck. She probably doesn't have a mental image of anyone or anything. She just sees things the way they are and remembers that detail. Which probably doesn't work with the way people move around in the distortion. The same reason why Omega has a hard time moving around without help.
Wow. That must be some serious glue, to stick Jones.
And your hair seems to be doing odd things
Tastefully placed censor calves!
LOL
i laughed
Like a fly on the wall.
-And Jones has been exactly like that for at least several years. Small change by her standards, but there's PROBABLY something else she should be doing instead. You have to give her credit for being so patient with these little interruptions... soo borring... zzzzzzz.
Can I just say, tom, that I am incredibly jealous and proud of your art skills? I love Annie's outfit, and I would totally try to invent a mind/talent/skill ray to steal your drawing ability if I could. (This is a compliment, not a threat)
Not a robot.
Also, up and down is relative and arbitrary in this part of the distortion. (At least for the camera?)
Hi Stuck, I seem to be Annie
Didn't she have a crush on Jones?
I am extremely curious to discover *where* Jones is stuck. Seems…unpleasant
I'm assuming Tom's comment is a pop culture reference I'm unaware of rather than a plug for a business support company. :) Regardless, given her past plurals' reaction to Idra's nakedness (albeit exacerbated by James's implied involvement), one might expect her to be a little less sassy about the current situation.
love the boob censorship lol
This is fine. Jones probably before Annie showed up.
...and nekkid!
JONES
it’s just grandma Flanders! hope she didn’t scare ya!
FREE MY GIRL SHE DID NOTHING WRONG ????????????
And naked for some reason?
I feel like she is too calm to be seeing a naked adult woman ????
I got my volume 2 preorder just in time for an out of state plane trip. I'm wearing my coyote shirt to match. :) I'm late to the 20 years of comic party, but congratulations and thank you to Tom for all these years of story.
Funny, I was thinking about how long it's been since we've heard from Jones last week.
The once-Emma and future-Eglamore has encountered a novelty.
I just realized the previous page is zooming in on Jones, not Jones looking at an esthetic copy of herself
Yay! It’s JONES! Arguably my favorite and certainly most fascinating character following Anni.
Long time no see Jones!
Geez, whoever put her there could have given her some clothes
Something Jones can't bust out of? The distortion (assuming that's what that's apart of) has some powerful stuff. o_o
oh no they got Jones with the ethereal glowing glue trap
Ah, I did not realize that yesterday's comic had separate panels. That makes more sense.
It was then that Coyote remembered he had welded Jones to a floor, as a clever trick.
It's official that Jones doesn't care what she wears when left to her own devices. She kept that party hat on, after all. Also, that's convenient censorship.
Possibly deliberately, for Omega and Coyote fear her intervention......Or just Omega.
One of my favorite things about reading the physical volume 2 is discovering how many of my favorite chapters are in it!
I have been a huge fan of Jones. She is like the stoic reflection of a Janet from The Good Place ("not a robot"). And here we see her at her sweetest, most vulnerable self. This shot of her "seems to be stuck" is a sharp contrast to her emerging/getting subsumed by fire and rock, etc There we get portions of her face and she seems, "oh well, this sort of sucks." We get her entire face free and I hear a little, "Hrmm, this is new." I think she being born...more...or at last. And when does she get a little true love? She just gets used for warmth until not needed. I am not the shipping type, but let's consider this: Annie's the only (part 1)
No big deal. Nothing that won't take care of itself in a million years or so.
(Part 2) the only person we've seen treat Jones with now just " interest" or ,"wanting to make with the bouncy bounce" Annie's been genuinely caring about Jones. Bit hold the phone.. . TONY! Okay, this is why i dont ship characters. Okay. Nevermind. I forgot about the other robots ( actually lovely irony that so many Robots seem human while more than a couple humans or humanoids act robots like. Anyway, I know the end is near. Please don't make us cry too much.
Only a week since 4/20 and already Jonesin'
I have actively missed Jones, thinking about her in her absence: inscrutable, indestructable, intelligent, inexplicably interested in insubstantial creatures that must flicker past in one of the shortest possible moments of deep time.
Oh my gosh
Oh dear, what an awkward situation.
And naked, for some reason.
@Soma Hips
Omega should try to get rid of Jones!
'Tracer, here!' pose
Jones, the unstoppable force... stuck?
Perfect censorship!!!
Also: well played Pebkio for the inductive reasoning around the cause of the stuckness. I think you're most likely correct.
"I seem to be stuck". Yeah, that's what i said my mother when i didn't want to step up
most important question: where is up and down? I have the fear that one of those two will fall down. or to the side, or... up?
Also, love Annies facial expression in the first panel. Just te right mixture betweeen amusement and commiseration.
Ha ha ha, classic Jones! … So Jones while you're pinned to this giant etheromagnet Kat whipped up, wouldn't it be great if you filled in all the blanks?
Seeing Jenny show up again was nice. Not sure about the new girls, but curious to see who they are.
