, , : He says it's a side effect of the problems in the forest. So rather than him personally causing it, it looks like he just conveniently "forgot" to mention it.

What a dick.

2049

Slapstick Knows no Gender.

Does Jones have a gender?

Jimmy Jims, Dr. Disaster and the (supposed) string of other male admirers she accumulated over the years would say yes.

Jones herself would probably say that such question is not applicable to her, since she's not living.

On that note, can Jones actually have sex without running into the Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex issue? Can she have sex, period?

There is at least one option◊.

...Assuming Jones' skin is not of the same density and hardness as the rest of her body.

It's a question I've thought about occasionally. I think ultimately it would come down to whether or not she has a hymen; if she does, then probably not since it would be as indestructible as the rest of her body and very destructible to any penis seeking passage.

I thought the question was whether or not she has Barbie Doll Anatomy, being, you know...

If she Can't Have Sex, Ever, that would make her the single biggest cocktease in the history of Earth.

Hmm, does Jones eat? Does she poop? We know she doesn't need it, but can she do it?

Well it's pretty much all to guessing. We can see she's replicating the appearance of humanoidness, which may extend to her having same mimicry of an internal system. But she wouldn't necessarily be able to absorb any nutrients or even secrete any chemicals to affect it, resulting in any matter that comes in coming out unchanged.

Has she touched anyone with her bare skin on panel? I feel if she had skin like metal or rock someone would've commented on it.

I always interpreted Jones' indestructibility as infinite toughness, rather than hardness. Like, she can bend. Her skin stretches. I assume she's soft to the touch like a human. But you can't cut, pierce, scrape, or tear anything, no matter how hard you try.

She was touching Jimmy Jims rather suggestively in (one of their) first shared appearances. She also stopped a sword using her face in the same chapter, so I guess her Nigh-Invulnerability doesn't really affect her body? Or she can control it?

She touched Annie's hand "to convey trust and understanding."

There's also that scene of Jimmy Jims using her for a Lap Pillow in "The Stone"...it'd probably be pretty uncomfortable if her leg didn't have human softness.

So, did Loup know how long his talk with Annie would take, and set up Jones’s orbit to decay at this time and place from the start? Or did he yank her out of the sky just now?

The idea that she landed back in the Court by coincidence is less likely. Even given that she could steer herself a bit like a skydiver, it strains credulity that she didn’t land in the ocean and walk back.

I think he yanked her now. He really doesn't seem like a planning kind of guy - he is flaunting his power in the instant rather than setting up with forethought to avoid needing to use it later.

Loup the ground tailor.

Thaaaaat seems like it would create lot of ecological disasters or at least kill fishes

I’m sure he can make it so that they don’t have to worry about that somehow.

Of course, it’s just as likely that he won’t, so...

"The Annan what?"

British astronomers and seismologists are sorely confused today...

Good thing Annie recovered her hairpin in time.

Somehow, after reading this comic for years, this is the bit that me go "Is that even possible?"
