If Tom won't be releasing these as prints I'll donate a million to his Patreon.

What's that little M though?

She's cosplaying Vegeta from Dragonball's Buu saga, so she has that little Majin symbol on her forehead.

Oh, okay. All my DBZ knowledge comes from DBZA and they haven't gotten there yet.

Jones. Dancing.

I never knew I wanted this, but now I can't imagine living without it..

<tries to imagine Jones dancing The Rite of Spring> ... <fails>

Sometimes I forget Jones is meant to be really heavy.

Note she says has resulted in serious injury to her partners. Which implies that somebody actually tried this at some point. Oh dear.

Tony goes on a Wiki Walk.

I feel the urge to make the obligatory joke.

I was a little disappointed that the reference wasn't actually to us, but Tony would be so much more likely to get lost in Wikipedia that it makes perfect sense.

Do not link him to TV Tropes.

I feel Tony is the kind of guy who'd actually get a lot from a Wiki Walk. In Wikipedia, not here, that is.

I don't think he'd actually like Tvtropes. Ew, fiction. Ew, emotions.

Seems like he'd see the value in measuring the marigolds and pinning the butterflies, though.

I wonder what Tony's robot hand will be like. I hope it's kick ass!

I just caught up with the comic again, and a discussion you guys were having some dozen pages ago got me thinking. The one about how Annie being quick to excuse Ysengrin fits of anger being similar to how she deals with her father. I realized that her relationship with Reynardine have shades of that as well, with him trying to kill her and her being somewhat quick to forgive it. I wonder if learning how to deal properly with parental abuse is supposed to be part of her arc. To recognize that, although they may have their reasons and be ultimately good people, the pain they caused her shouldn't be hand waved so easily, or just bottled away with her anger. I hope it is the case, because her recent relationship with Tony, although better than be fore, is still very unsatisfactory to me. This page instead of being uplifting, it is very depressing to me, as she Annie still basing too much of her happiness on a guy who is still incapable of showing affection towards her.

I hope too that is something said parental figures will learn to recognize their faults as well, of course. Reynardine have fully internalized what he did wrong, but Ysengrin and Tony did not. Ysengrin, if freed, will now has to face how his actions endangered Annie and Tony still needs to learn that good intentions alone are not enough, he needs to be the likeable guy he is capable being her as well, not only his friends. Furthermore, he needs to own up and actually apologize for all the shittiness. He is aware he fucked up, but has it yet to show it to the one person that actually matter.

Anyway, sorry for the random small rant, but I wanted to put my feelings somewhere. I could talk more, specially about how Tony still kinda suck, despite his recent humanizing moments, but I am sure that have already been talked to death.

I think Renard's situation is different in that there really were no good intentions on his part when he was attacking Annie. He legitimately wanted to harm her. Part of the reasons why his and Annie's relationship worked out is because Rey is not misguided. He's honest both with himself and with Annie. And he's a trickster.

Ys tried to be honest too, he was about to have a My God, What Have I Done? moment, but Coyote stripped him of it.

Tony meanwhile is too filled with guilt and self-loathing over nearly accidentally killing Annie via ripping her fire elemental essence out to be honest with her.
