Reynardine, Reynardine, Reynardine, don't go putting that in your mouth.  You don't know where it's been.

I am feeling hungry for shrimp, strangely. Anyone else?

[Bauglir]

I'm always hungry for shrimp. Gunnerkrigg cannot affect this fundamental, universal truth. Not even a shrimp buffet can change this.

Reynard....making with the character-development chapter....

Murder is my first thought.  It is ok cause 'good guy' did it to 'bad guy'?

One thing that just started bothering me. I noticed that the city often seems empty, but today's the first time I've really noticed it. Have their been any hints as to why only the Gunnerkrigg people seem to live in the massive city?

Detroit, but without the poor people?  Seems to be the 'border of civilization'?  Used to be some large research/robotics lab?

Well, I think that the idea was they are the 'civilized' and 'industrial' side, so their whole area has to be a city. They didn't build the city for the people (Or at least not most of it) but rather for having the city. Also it's possible that the city builds itself, in which case even if they didn't want to extend for extending sake (which is certainly something that seems like what they would do) it would extend itself to the limits of their area anyway.

Also, keep in mind that they have all those robots- we probably haven't even seen them all yet, and they could have been used to guild the city in the first place.

And if we consider the example of that one weather control station thingy, it might be that it's a city of labs and equipment. I know we've seen the kids using library's within the city as well, so there's that as well. Keep in mind that we don't really have a sense of scale available to us yet, so we don't know how big it is yet.

Wasn't the court created from that seed thing? Maybe it has something to do with that.

Can you link me to the creation story page? I forget which chapter it was in.

[Criptfeind]

I think it starts here. and the most important page would be two in?

Yeah, the seed Bismuth. I'll have to look up the symbol for that. Anyway, I read forward a bit, and found this again:

Laser Cows. Just like real cows.
Only with lasers.

One of the many reasons I love this comic.

EDIT: (Bismuth's alchemical symbol)

Just noticed this page after the link back. Jones totally has feelings!

EDIT: Or just wants to see what those heightened feelings can cause Parley to do

Either way, the result worked out. The laser cows distracted me from posting that instead, to be honest.
