That really drives the point home, doesn't it.
Honestly, this was more of a visceral shock to me than anything in the chapter itself.
Duck. A perfect decoration atop the cake called chapter 51 alright.
Not okay Tom!
The thing that's really awful about this, aside from the symbolism, is that it's not clear if it's just symbolism or Tom's hinting that Annie's been cut off from her etheric abilities.
Shit. I hadn't even considered that.
"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."Pfft.
Dressed to Kill.Well, it does have the odd shading and extra length it only ever has in the ether...
Writer, or something. And... a button? 🖲️Or perhaps her etheric abilities have found themselves cut off from her.
Full fire elemental Annie, anyone?
Jesus, Tom.
Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.A halo, representing how Annie is an innocent little angel and Anthony is a mean devil made of pure evil who exists only to torture the good and pure hearted Annie.
Sometimes hair is just hair.
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!Will you cut that out.
Dopants: He meant what he said and he said what he meant, a Ninety is faithful 100%.How are things in Hyperbole Town? Is the weather nice?

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!"Sometimes hair is just hair" would hold a lot more weight if the comic hadn't already used hair as symbolism a bunch of times.
But I'm holding off on assigning meaning to that "halo", until we get more data.
It's just a clever ad for Target.
Indeed; right now it's just a bunch of symbolism and speculation.
When you consistently come off like a dick, it gets thin real fast. *said in both voices*

i think the last image is symbolic of how antimony has had everything cut away from her if you think about it the entire chapter was about Anthony pulling away everything from her from standing to relationships just a guess
i have no idea why i did thisI saw it as: Ø
"Show us the Galaxy Warp."oh annie.
ophelia, you're breaking my heartShe's been psionically restrained back to Marvel Girl levels and won't be cosmically marking her territory again for a few more chapters.
"Show us the Galaxy Warp."@Eagal: Well, Gunnerkrigg Court is no stranger to symbolism, and I don't think it takes a Ph.D. to realize that that's what's going on here.
Oh God! Natural light!Yeah, I mean, this couldn't be more symbolic if the main character from Da Vinci Code was in the corner screaming 'SYMBOLSSSSS'
We over-analyse things, yes, but this is as direct as it gets.

Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectI'm gonna ask if anyone here missed the cracks in the floor just like the cracks in wall that appeared when Anthony first called her.
Dressed to Kill.I sure did.
That image is so heartbreaking.
Trust you? The only person I can trust is myself.
