Obfuscation "phrase"? Does she have Cursed Speech? I jest, but I'm assuming she's cracked the language and can indeed create glyphs as she needs them.

Really loving these backstories, Tom

Typical Court: "that is not good enough; not if you cannot fully explain how it works." (Anja's bitterness, Page 520)

They seem to be of similar age. We know Rosa and Sylvie are younger than Jenny.

Answers my question about whether this is a flashback or present day in Zimmy distortion.

Something about Jenny and Jack makes me dry heave whenever they're on screen.

Her growing pains must have had her SCREAMING.

Jenny jumpscare. Hate that bitch.

Ah yes, gentrified witchcraft.

Zara, Rosa, and now Noa are all noted to have specific interests or talents and it just makes Jenny’s thesis project seem really pathetic. She’s just so deeply unlikable.

Well, it seems that everything is heading towards some kind of incident due to negligence... Because of which Noa... will change.

Noa has brains, so how'd she go to brawn?

Tooooom. Tomtomtomtomtomtomtom. After Annie and Co's story reaches its end, you've *gotta* keep giving us stories from this world! It's so good!

Yes, the obfuscation rune is definitely only about obfuscation and not keeping things from exploding out of proportion, like gossip or explosions.

i dont trust that jenny girl, she seems pretty suspicious. bet she wants to get rid of zimmy and pin it on the others. bet she did something to noa too.

Thank you for making a wonderful comic for us to read along.

Noa and Jenny's break bench was apparently placed in the "one block high Minecraft walll" section of the Court.

Apparently what we are earning is a degree?

Idk how on the money this is, but my theory so far is that she’s the “muscle” because she’s stripped all the limiters and safeties from her spells, making them more potent, while also more dangerous.

They look like two out of the three female Chipmunks.

She's interesting!

YES! Learn the magical machine code!

Well well, it's young Frankenstein.

For the AMA, are you going to do any spinoffs or have any next stories planned after this Gunnerkrigg storyline has run it's course?

"But I want to monkey with dark forces beyond my ken NOW!!!" And the Norns cracked their knuckles...

Two bright young students learning how the educational system establishes the status quo ante. This provides limits & boundaries for many. Perhaps they will realize that ‘understanding basics’ can provide a spring board for further learning & the means to transcend the perceived & accepted view of the ‘possible’. Some responsible adult guidance may be helpful here. * Again, very nice artwork & expressions in this strip!

Very interesting that this coven gets introduced in the story at this point. I wonder if intriducing them earlier would be better or is now better to reduce emotional ties?

I hope Noa turns out more sensible than her friends, I'm starting to like her

Just like high school math.

Methinks a cute, stocky someone experimented on herself....Before becoming a scary, lanky someone.

Ew, Jenny.

Every time I see Jenny I am filled with such disgust. She’s a compelling villain, but her shallow motivations, pathological lying, and manipulation of the people closest to her just makes me sick. I wonder who this younger Jenny would have grown up to be if she didn’t choose to focus her life on Jack’s mental illness.

So, Jenny got all the fans and notoriety by studying Zimmy and Gamma, but Noa is the one with actual curiosity and talent? That’s a neat twist. I’ve been wondering which of the witches Annie and friends could potentially convince to their side. I thought maybe Rosa, but she may be out since she and Zara murdered Omega with Jack. But I somehow really doubt it’s Noa. She hasn’t said anything yet in the present day, but I’m getting that she’s Jenny’s actual friend more than a fan.

Where's Jenny? All I see are two Eglamores.

Any magic distinguishable from science is insufficiently analyzed - Girl Genius

Why is Jenny wearing a longer skirt than other students (already on the linked page)? Why had she switched to the usual short one by the time she imitated the look of Zimmy (Page 3073)?

Could Noa’s attenuated version of herself be her glyph-enhanced “Hulk” manifestation? She may look fragile, but she has witch magic; her “muscle” is surely enhanced.

Oh, it's funny going back and seeing them as younger kids again.

In before the glyphs of yore were actually put there by another time-traveling Kat.

Jenny before being Zimmy.

Part of the danger is wanting to know so badly how things work that you unravel the foundations. If I wanted to build a house, but tried to deconstruct the wood on the molecular level, then build a house trying different molecules of wood, I might build a house that was more sap than wood or something.
